Zhu Xian

Chapter 1 Filial piety

Qingyun Mountain to Tianfeng, Yuqing Hall.

"What?" With incredible consteritonishment, Dao Xuanzhen blurted out, "The three major factions of the Demon Sect have all been destroyed after the decisive battle with the beast demon?"

Standing at the head of the three leaders of today's right path, as well as many predecessors sitting or standing next to them, Xiao Yicai, Fa Xiang, Lu Xueqi and other righteous disciples who returned to Qingyun Mountain did not say anything. Only Xiao Yi, the leader, definitely nodded and said, "Yes, Master, the seven of us have seen it The corpses in the Snake Valley are all over the field, which is terrible. The magic religion has indeed been hit hard, including Mrs. Sanmiao and many other characters of the demon school, Wandumen. We have found their corpses. Only the leading figures of the Ghost King Sect have not found a few, but maybe it is because the beast demon devours people

Lu Xueqi, who stood behind, turned pale again, as if this incident and the tragedy at that time were always remembered in her heart, making her linger, but anyway, she was able to control her emotions at this time. On the surface, she did not show much abnormality, and others did not see anything, only sitting on people. Xiaozhufeng's first Master Shuiyue in front of the group, the person who raised Lu Xueqi, only noticed that Lu Xueqi's frost-like cold and beautiful face seemed to have strange bitterness.

Master Shuiyue frowned slightly and sighed gently without saying anything.

At this moment, the group of people in the Yuqing Hall are shrugged, and the voices of discussion are getting louder and louder. Looking at the faces of these righteous elites, some are surprised, some are afraid, but more complex expressions and surprises are intertwined. Thinking of it, I don't know how many years the magic religion It's a surprise that the demon was annihilated in one fell swoop. It's just that since the demon religion can hold on to the right path, its strength cannot be underestimated, but in the face of the attack of the beast demon, it failed miserably. There are not many fools here. Everyone can imagine that the next goal of the beast demon must be Qingyun Mountain, where the right path is gathered in the world.

Now it is the right path of the last hope of the world. Can it block this unprecedented catastrophe?

No one has the bottom of his heart!

Sitting in the front of the three giants of the road, Dao Xuan Zhenren, Pu Hong Shangren and Yun Yilan, after a whisper discussion, they were all frowned upon. At this time, Dao Xuan Zhenren said a few words, and Pu Hong Shangren and Yun Yilan both nodded and agreed. Then Dao Xuanzhen stood up and coughed.

The whispers on the Yuqing Hall suddenly faded, and everyone's eyes looked at Dao Xuanzhen. Dao Xuanzhen's face was solemn. After everyone was completely quiet, he said in a low voice, "Dest friends, everyone heard what happened just now very clearly. The accidental collapse of the Demon Sect was completely beyond our expectation, but what is the detailed situation? We still need to find out whether the Demon Sect still has any remnants to escape in that war, but it doesn't matter in front of us.

His face was grim, his eyes were shining, and he was not angry. He said solemnly, "My Taoist friends, now the catastrophe is in front of him. The world is full of life, and the strength of beasts and demons is really surprising. But since we are people on the right path, there is no reason to retreat. This matter is complicated. I have to discuss it with the master of Puhong and the owner of Yungu before making a decision. Please come back first. Good students are well-cultivated. The period of the war is mostly not far away. At that time, for the sake of the people in the world, I hope you can do more!"

Everyone nodded and agreed. Dao Xuanzhen showed a smile on his face. Puhong Shangren and Yun Yilan also stood up and walked to the back hall. When Dao Xuanzhen was about to keep up, he suddenly remembered something and said to Xiao Yicai, "Yicai, come too. At that time, you can Tell us in detail."

Xiao Yi answered, strode up, followed Dao Xuanzhen behind him and walked into the back hall.

As soon as the three respected predecessors left in the hall, it suddenly became lively. Everyone was in groups and talked about it. Except for Xiao Yi, who followed Dao Xuanzhen to the back hall, the other six righteous disciples who went to the southwest to inquire about the news were all surrounded by many people in the middle, and everyone listened. From time to time, there are all kinds of expressions such as surprise, shaking head, sighing and so on.

In the crowd, Lu Xueqi has always been silent, with a faint vision, but it seems that she can't see the faces of the crowd in front of her at all, but staring at the unknown in the distance.

Suddenly, there was a low ** in the crowd, and then a road came out. Qingyunmen Xiaozhufeng's first Shuiyue Master came in, followed by Wen Min and several other Xiaozhufeng's beautiful female disciples. Lu Xueqi came to her senses and saw Master coming to her, and her eyes were looking at herself. Her lips moved and she whispered, "Master." Then, he lowered his head.

Master Shuiyue was expressionless and said, "The leader wants to discuss this matter with other predecessors. There will be nothing else here for the time being. You can follow me back to Xiaozhufeng first."

Lu Xueqi nodded and whispered, "Yes."

Master Shuiyue didn't care about other people. When he first walked to the outside of the Yuqing Hall, Lu Xueqi immediately followed. The name of the first seat of Qingyunmen is not small. Most of the people present respect her very much and have made way one after another. At this time, Lu Xueqi was about to walk out of the Yuqing Hall with Master Shuiyue. Li Xun, who was standing aside, flashed a trace of anxiety on his face and took a step. Just as he was about to say something, suddenly a figure stood in front of him. Li Xun was shocked and fixed his eyes, but it was Wen Min, the

Wen Min smiled at Li Xun and said, "Brother Li, Sister Xueqi is very tired all the way. Let her have a good rest. And it's not a short time to go out this time. My master also has a lot to say to her.

Li Xun looked at Wen Min a few times, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face, but after all, he still took back the steps he was about to take and said, "Okay, but please take good care of Sister Wen..."

Before Li Xun finished speaking, Wen Min had already smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, Sister Xue Qi and I are sisters of the same family. Our relationship is better than our own sisters. Naturally, I will say and do what I should do."

Li Xun's face turned red. He nodded and stopped talking. He stepped aside. Wen Min took several other Xiaozhufeng's female disciples behind him and also walked out of the Yuqing Hall. Soon, the people of Xiaozhufeng in Qingyun Mountain had disappeared from the sight of everyone.

※※※

Along the way, he drove from Tongtian Peak to Xiaozhu Peak. After Master Shuiyue landed, he looked indifferent and didn't say anything to anyone. He walked directly to the Xiaozhufeng Hall. Everyone stood in place respectfully and saw Master Shuiyue.

After Master Shuiyue disappeared in the building, Lu Xueqi's eyes looked lost and stood still. It was not until Wen Min patted her on the shoulder that she woke up.

There was a trace of worry in Wen Min's eyes and whispered, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Seeing that you lost your mind, you didn't respond a few times?"

Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, with a slight smile on her face, and said, "I'm sorry, sister."

Wen Min shook her head and said, "What did you say to me? We are all sisters. Don't be so out of the way. By the way, I think the master's expression is a little wrong. I'll go in and see her. You have worked hard all the way. Go back and have a good rest first.

Lu Xueqi was silent for a moment and whispered, "Master, I'm afraid he is still angry with me."

Wen Min looked at the most beautiful and outstanding sister in the same family, and suddenly felt that on her pale face, although she was still so beautiful, she was a little more haggard than in the past. Wen Min sighed in her heart, put her arms around Lu Xueqi's shoulder, and whispered, "Silly girl, don't think about it. We and you all know what the master has always done to you. It's okay. I'll take a look.

Lu Xueqi nodded silently. Wen Min smiled and told several other sisters to say a few words. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a girl coming out of the front door. It was the girl Xiaoshi when the ghost secretly stole Xiaozhufeng that day. Because she was young and her Taoism was not good enough, she had been staying on Xiao She is smart and cute, so she stays with her all the time.

Xiaoshi looked here and quickly walked over to Wen Min and Lu Xueqi. Wen Min said "huh" and waited for Xiao Shi to come in front of him and said, "Xiao Shi, why did you come out? Didn't Master just come back? You should go to the waiter."

Xiaoshi nodded, glanced at Lu Xueqi, and said, "Senior sister, you senior sisters, master said that he wanted me to come and ask Sister Xueqi to 'Jingzhuxuan' to see her."

Wen Min was stunned and looked back at Lu Xueqi. The corners of Lu Xueqi's mouth moved, and a complex look flashed in her eyes. Then she said, "Okay, I'm going." After saying that, she went straight ahead and soon disappeared into the Xiaozhufeng building.

Wen Min saw that Lu Xueqi had gone far away, frowned and said to Xiao Shi, "Xiao Shi, did Master say anything else? Why did you ask Xue Qi to go there?"

Xiaoshi shook her head and said, "No, after Master came back, he has been silent. After a while, he asked me to ask Sister Xueqi to see her."

Wen Min said "Oh" and couldn't figure it out for a moment. He shook his head and said to several other Xiaozhufeng female disciples, "Well, it seems that there is nothing to do now. You can also go back to rest first."

The women answered and walked away one after another. Wen Min finally looked in the direction of Lu Xueqi. She only felt heavy in her heart. For a moment, she felt mixed feelings in her heart.

"Jingzhuxuan" is a secluded place in the building of Xiaozhufeng Hall. It is close to the back mountain and surrounded by green "tear bamboo". From time to time, the mountain wind blows through, and the bamboo leaves shake gently, giving people a sense of calmness. Master Shuiyue has always liked to come here alone, so other disciples of Xiaozhufeng are also very familiar with this place.

Lu Xueqi walked through the cloister and stepped on the bamboo path paved with smooth pebbles. She bent all the way and went deep into the bamboo forest. She soon came to the fine house made of bamboo in the bamboo forest. From the outside, she looked simple and unpretentious. On the outer wall made of beads, How many windy and rainy times, there are already faint old marks at this moment. There is a small window on both sides of the room, and you can faintly see the figure of Master Shuiyue sitting quietly inside.

Lu Xueqi walked to the door, and the door, which was also made of bamboo, was empty. Somehow, she felt a little nervous. She took a deep breath and said, "Master, I'm Xueqi. Did you call me?"

Master Shuiyue's voice came from the house, plain and emotionless, and said, "Yes, just come in."

Lu Xueqi cheered up, pushed the door open and walked in. The decoration in the room is very simple. There are tables, chairs and tea sets, and there is another desk by the window with paper, inkstone, pen and ink on it. Master Shuiyue was not a person who likes luxury. At this moment, she is sitting at the desk by the window, silently staring at the bamboo forest outside the window.

Lu Xueqi walked behind her, looked at Master Shuiyue's back, and whispered, "Master."

Master Shuiyue slowly turned around and looked at Lu Xueqi, but Lu Xueqi seemed unwilling to look at her master and lowered her head. Neither the master nor the apprentice spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a moment. In fact, Master Shuiyue and Lu Xueqi are neither talkative people. In the past, this kind of scene did appear when they were alone, but somehow, at this time today, there seems to be another strange feeling between the master and apprentice, which makes them much farther away than before.

After a while, Master Shuiyue broke the silence and asked in a flat voice, "Is it going well on your way to the southwest this time?"

Lu Xueqi nodded and said, " Fortunately, the beast demons were rampant along the way, but we all tried our best to avoid it. Finally, we found a crazy demon disciple, and then we found the Viper Valley. See..."

Her voice suddenly stopped, and a clear and visible pain flashed across her face, and even her body seemed to tremble slightly. Master Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi, and the light flashed in his eyes, as if he were meditated about something. After a moment, she looked at Lu Xueqi and said, "Have you seen him?"

Lu Xueqi was stunned and looked at Master Shuiyue. Although Master Shuiyue's eyes were flat, she seemed to see her deep heart at a glance. Lu Xueqi's face changed and she whispered, "Master, what did you say?"

Master Shuiyue said coldly, "I mean Zhang Xiaofan, that is, the ghost in the Ghost King Sect now!"

Shuiyue's voice was not loud, but for Lu Xueqi, it seemed to be a thunder in her ear. She suddenly looked up and her face was pale, but Master Shuiyue, standing in front of her, still stared straight into her eyes. Lu Xueqi's lips opened and closed slightly, squeezed tightly, and didn't say a word.

Silence, it came again.

I don't know how long it took, Master Shuiyue's face slowly relaxed. She looked at Lu Xueqi's eyes, and gradually looked a little more pitiful and heartbroken.

"Cheer, when are you going to lie to me?" Master Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi and said slowly.

Lu Xueqi's hand clenched into a fist, and her white skin made the joints white because of the force. Obviously, at this moment, her heart was also very excited. She looked at the teacher who had raised herself since she was a child, and there was a hazy mist in her eyes, but after all, she resisted and gritted her teeth. She slowly knelt down in front of Master Shuiyue.

"It's the disciple's fault, which failed the master's teaching." Her voice was getting smaller and smaller, and her delicate back seemed to tremble gently.

Master Shuiyue sighed for a long time, and her eyes were full of vicissitudes, as if she had thought of things from this disciple, and even her own expression was a little sad. She slowly turned around, walked to the window, and looked at the green bamboo outside the window. She was still swinging in the wind. She didn't know the people back then. Do you still remember here?

"Get up." Master Shuiyue is plain and calm.

There was no movement behind him. Obviously, Lu Xueqi was still kneeling on the ground.

Master Shuiyue didn't say much and said, "Qieer, you have always been smart. I thought that even if I didn't say it, you should know."

Lu Xueqi knelt behind her and didn't move. Master Shuiyue continued to say, "You are entangled with that Xiaofan. For you, this is an evil fate, do you know?"

Lu Xueqi answered in a low voice, and her voice was almost hard to hear. She said, "Yes."

Master Shuiyue said slowly, "What's more, Zhang Xiaofan has now betrayed the right path and devoured his blood. There is no need to tell you more about what he has done in the past ten years. To tell you the truth, the things between you and him have been spread all over the city for a long time now. Even your head of the Taoist Xuanshi uncle already knows it, but these elders come to think that you are young and ignorant, and the other is to pity you for your intelligence, and it is not easy to practice. This has given you again and again and again Speaking of later, Master Shuiyue's voice gradually became urgent, and his voice gradually became harsher.

Lu Xueqi's face became more and more pale, but somehow, her body was quiet and she did not tremble as gently as before.

Master Shuiyue's face slowly softened, turned around, picked up Lu Xueqi, and said softly, "Qier, you are my favorite disciple. In the same family, even in the seven veins of Qingyunmen, among the disciples of the younger generation, the talent for Taoist practice is also the highest, and the future is really unlimited. I have high expectations of you, you know?"

Lu Xueqi whispered, "Yes, Master."

Master Shuiyue looked at her and said, "With your qualifications, the first position of Xiaozhufeng in the future will naturally be yours. At that time, you will admire everyone and calmly understand the way of heaven. Isn't that what you dreamed of before?"

Lu Xueqi was silent, but lowered her head slightly. On her beautiful face, in addition to her pale face, it was the slowly changing brilliance in her bright eyes. I don't know when the once hazy water mist had disappeared.

Master Shuiyue sighed and said, "Go back and think about it."

Lu Xueqi stood in front of her. After hearing this, she did not immediately turn around and leave. Instead, she slowly looked up and looked at the teacher who raised her with one hand.

"What's the matter, Qier?" Master Shuiyue asked.

"Master." Lu Xueqi shouted slowly and said, "I'm sorry for you."

Master Shuiyue shook his head and sighed and said, "What nonsense?"

Lu Xueqi's expression seemed to be a little wrong. There was a trace of excitement on her always indifferent face, and even her breathing slowly became rapid. Master Shuiyue soon found it, frowned at her and said, "What's the matter, Qier?"

Lu Xueqi seemed to set off a storm in her heart, so her face was like a change, but finally, she still slowly whispered to Master Shuiyue, "Master, you're right. I'm really confused. Between me and Zhang Xiaofan, I also know that it's a sinful relationship that is impossible at all."

Master Shuiyue's eyes flashed a trace of regret and said softly, "Qi'er, turning back is the shore. As long as you cut off the love, there is nothing great. At least, there is also Master, Xiaozhufeng, and Qingyunmen can accommodate you."

Lu Xueqi suddenly looked up. The speed and power were so amazing. She saw that above her beautiful face, she was full of pain and sadness at this moment, and even her voice seemed to have a trace of trembling: "Master, but I can't break it."

Master Shuiyue's face changed greatly. He stared at Lu Xueqi deeply, and suddenly his palm fell, and he slapped Lu Xueqi in the face with a "pop". Lu Xueqi did not dodge or retreat. She stood still, but clenched her lips and her body trembled slowly.

"You, what did you say?" Master Shuiyue's voice seemed to sound trembling, but his words were full of anger, "You, you rebel, do you know what you're talking about?"

Lu Xueqi's face had long been pale without a trace of blood, but she met Master Shuiyue's eyes, as if she had made up her mind and said resolutely, "Master, you adopted me since I was a child, raised me, and taught me to raise me. There is nothing more kindness than this. Xue Qi's unfilial piety makes the teacher angry and sad, and the crime deserves to die..."

She fluttered in white clothes and knelt in front of Master Shuiyue again. She said, "Xue Qi would rather die than betray her teacher. If she met that Xiaofan in the future, my disciple should do his best to take his life with Tianya. If it doesn't work, she will die at his hands..."

Master Shuiyue began to look angry. Hearing that Lu Xueqi said that she did not dare to turn her back on the right path and wanted to die with Zhang Xiaofan for the rest of her life, her face eased a little, but then Lu Xueqi's words changed her face again.

Lu Xueqi knelt in front of her, took a deep breath, and her eyes were taken back. She looked at the ground in front of her, as if she also looked at her deep heart, and said slowly, "But this wisp of sin is the disciple's continuous and can't break it!"

The room fell into a dead silence in an instant, as if even the sound of breathing had stopped. After a moment, Master Shuiyue shouted sharply and scolded, echoing in this house:

"You, you traitor, get out of here, get out of here, I don't want to see you anymore! ..."
