In the small cold realm, the ice was frozen for thousands of miles, the gray clouds covered the sky, and a ray of light flew out of the thick fog to the front of a snow-covered cliff.

As soon as the light landed, it broke like a bubble, Jiao Yuanliang walked out of it, muttered something in his mouth, waved his hand, and the wind passed by, and the white snow on the entire mountain was swept away, revealing a stone gate that was high one person.

He stretched out his hand and pushed, walked in, waved his sleeves again, closed the door, and isolated the wind and snow, and then took a pot of Huanyang wine from his sleeve, put it to his mouth, swallowed it in small sips, and after a while, a warm feeling appeared on his body.

There will be nine cold winds blowing outside every six hours, and if the cultivation is a little weaker, he will freeze to the ground, even if he is a Yuanying monk, but after a long time, he also feels a trace of coldness to the bones, and drinking this wine, can not only go to the cold, but also relieve worries.

It's just that this wine is very little, or before entering the small world, the doorkeeper gave it, and then he can only ask for one jar a year, and he is not willing to drink more, only a few sips, he took the wine jug, took a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, to clean up, and then went to the depths of the cave.

Walking a short distance, he walked out of this road, the top of his head was open, but at this moment he was standing in a cliff cave, a few steps forward, but it was a deep stream, a Tengsuo trestle bridge to the opposite side of the peak cliff a hundred steps away.

He was not in a hurry to go over, but grabbed a handful of red jade fruits from his sleeve pocket, about dozens of grains, and threw them out, in the water stream below, there was a bang, and the jade wave flew into the sword, and a crystal like snow jumped out of it, and when he came up and sucked it, he swallowed it all, and then swung his tail at him three times, and then fell back into the water. Only a cloud of ice mist splashed behind him.

Jiao Yuanliang dared to go over, he shook his sleeves, got up in the wind, and arrived at the other end of the trestle in a moment, and also found a cave door, and walked in quickly, but he arrived in a cave hall.

From the bottom to the top, it is a hundred zhang high, very open, and several stone platforms that can accommodate thousands of people are stacked in the middle. The surrounding crumbling rocks are just a stepping ladder. There are open candles on both sides of the way, and every dozens of steps, there must be a deep niche on the stone wall, not a dry skeleton. It is to place jade slips one by one.

He stepped a little. Float into the air. At the top of the stone platform, a young Taoist in a plain robe sat on the stone platform, his body spotless. At this moment, I am taking this jade slip and looking at it carefully.

Jiao Yuanliang walked over and said puzzledly: "Most of these jade slips were written by some Huadan monks when they were dying, senior brother, you are cultivating like this, what's the use of reading them?"

Lu Junyang sat upright, looked at him levelly, and said: "Between life and death, there is great understanding, but this is something that cannot be found in ordinary Taoist books. ”

Jiao Yuanliang touched his gaze, and at that moment, it seemed that an extremely bright light flashed, and he was not surprised, but when he looked at it again, it was still as usual, as if he was just his own illusion, and said secretly: "It seems that the senior brother's deeds have improved again, could it be that these remnants are really useful?"

He picked one up at random, only looked at it a few times, and then felt disdain, even if these were realized before death, but in his opinion, it was still too superficial, not worth it at all, shook his head, threw it aside, and sat down on his own, closed his eyes.

Soon more than ten days passed, and he opened his eyes and saw that Lu Junyang was still there, his posture had not changed, as if time had only passed for a moment.

He lay down on his back, took out the wine and drank a few sips, seeing that he was about to reach the bottom, he was busy closing it again, but he felt that it was not enough to satisfy his hunger, and he couldn't help sighing.

I looked up at a big incense stick above, and after it was burned, I was about to go out on patrol again, and I suddenly felt a feeling of depression in my chest, and complained: "Except for my senior brothers, no one has come here for many years, and there is that cold sword outside, even if the monks of the Triple Realm come here, I am afraid that they will not be able to please it, and I don't know if there is anything to look at." ”

Lu Junyang was calm and said: "Where is not the way of cultivation, the head of the family has taken care of the two of us very much, there will be no outsiders to disturb each other here, but you can practice with peace of mind." ”

Jiao Yuanliang snorted and asked casually, "Senior brother, do you know who is imprisoned in the depths of that realm?"

Lu Junyang replied: "The teacher once mentioned that he and the teacher are the same generation. ”

Jiao Yuanliang suddenly became energetic, turned over and sat up, and said, "I don't know what the name is?"

Lu Junyang looked over and said, "Senior brother doesn't need to ask again." With this kind of kung fu, it is better to practice it with heart. ”

Jiao Yuanliang suddenly felt bored, took another sip of wine, and said secretly: "I don't know what happened to my apprentices, the Zhou Zhenren who came here last time said that he was willing to help, but after all, it was just a nodding acquaintance, maybe just a kind word." ”

He was thinking about it, but his expression moved, and when he turned his eyes, he saw a waterfall rushing down and hitting a stone drum under the stone platform, and suddenly there was a sound in the sky, his eyes widened, and he said, "There are visitors from outside!"

He Huo Ran got up and said, "I don't know who is here, senior brother, let's be here, junior brother can go out and have a look." ”

Lu Junyang said: "Senior brother be careful. ”

Jiao Yuanliang said with a smile: "Didn't Senior Brother say that there are no foreign enemies here, if the person who comes is really ill-intentioned, I can't ask for it, just fight and stretch my muscles." ”

He flew out, and after a short time he arrived at the door, and opened the stone, but saw a young Taoist with a long body standing in front of the door, looked up and down, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhou Zhenren?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Jiao Dao is polite. ”

Jiao Yuanliang hurriedly returned the salute and greeted: "There are nine cold winds outside, Brother Zhou Dao also invites you to come in and talk." ”

The other party is Qi Yuntian's subordinate, if you describe it by seniority, he can be two generations higher than the other party, but he will not take this seriously, and only treat each other as an equal.

Zhou Xuan was not polite, and when he was disturbed, he followed him in.

Back in the cave hall, Zhou Xuan saw Lu Junyang, came up and took the initiative to ask, "Lu Zhenren." ”

Lu Junyang looked indifferent, and just nodded at him.

Jiao Yuanliang said with a smile: "My senior brother, I am bent on seeking the Tao, except for practice, I don't care about anything else, Brother Zhou Dao, don't blame me." ”

Zhou Xuan hurriedly said: "Where, where." ”

Jiao Yuanliang sat down and took out the wine utensils. He poured two glasses of wine and said, "I don't have much good to entertain here, but I can only entertain guests with wine." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "I know that this place is bitter, so I specially brought delicious food here today." ”

He shook his sleeves, and a clear spring suddenly came out of it, and it flowed as if it had been cut, only three feet wide, and it did not overflow at all, and after a few turns in the stone. I saw that the shy delicacies were floated out by the lotus leaves. The inside hovers in the stream, and the room is filled with a pungent fragrance.

Jiao Yuanliang heard a splash at this time, and several carp jumped out and came to the front with a plate of delicacies. He smiled and said, "Interesting." ”

He was about to raise his chopsticks. Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand to stop it. smiled: "Come slowly, but you don't need to do it yourself." ”

He took out another scroll and spread it out with both hands. With a slight shake, countless beautiful women in the painting walked down, laughter and laughter, floating in the dark fragrance, competing to come up, serving wine and tea to the two, rubbing shoulders and beating legs, and even going outside to sing and dance, blow the flute and stroke the piano.

Jiao Yuanliang laughed loudly, raised his glass and said: "Brother Zhou Dao, Jiao has accepted your affection, my senior brother and sister have no acquaintances in the mountain gate, and they are guarding the small world here, and if you are a prisoner, thank you for coming to visit." ”

Zhou Xuan raised his glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiao Dao is polite." ”

When he put it down, he seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead, and said, "I almost forgot." Entrusted by Brother Jiao Dao before, Zhou went to Zhongzhuzhou once, and he had already found several disciples of Brother Dao, who were unharmed and were practicing on Zhou's island. ”

Jiao Yuanliang listened, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, when he was cultivating under Yan Changsheng in the past, he also offended a lot of Zhongzhu monks, and now he is not a master, leaving a few disciples, but he is also afraid of retaliation, but after entering the Mingcang faction, he learned that there are enemies here, but he didn't even dare to send Feishu back, and now he knows that he is safe, but he has gone to a major matter, his face is straight, and he arched his hand and said: "Thank you Zhou Daoyou, please accept my salute." ”

Zhou Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to hold him up, and said, "I fell in love with Brother Dao at first sight and regarded him as friends, so why should I be so polite, I don't feel uncomfortable." ”

Jiao Yuanliang laughed loudly and said, "That's right, come, drink." ”

The two drank all night, and after having fun, Zhou Xuan came back with the scroll and said in a deep voice: "Before Zhou came here today, I heard something, and I hope the two of you will prepare early." ”

When Jiao Yuanliang saw that he said solemnly, he was shocked, sat up straight, and said, "I don't know what happened?"

Lu Junyang's expression remained unchanged, but he just raised his eyes to look at him.

Zhou Xuan said: "The two of you should know that the devil's den was born in a few years. ”

Jiao Yuanliang said: "I heard about it as early as when I was in Zhongzhuzhou, what does this have to do with us?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Now the first of the top ten disciples is Chen Feng, this person is a disciple of the Chen family, yesterday he had to float in the Heavenly Palace, and invited the head of the house, and asked the two to go to help in the battle, I heard that the head of the house has already promised." ”

Jiao Yuanliang was stunned at first, but then stood up and said excitedly: "Is there such a thing? So my senior brothers can go out?"

He has been here for ten years, although the small cold realm is also a vast realm, but everywhere is covered by cold wind and snow, the bitter cold is abnormal, for him it is like a captivity, if he can get out, it is to fight with the disciples of the Demon Sect, and he is also willing.

Zhou Xuan shook his head and sighed: "Brother Jiao Dao must not be careless, I heard that the reason why the two of them are going out this time is to deal with a Triple Realm cultivator of the Stygian Spring Sect, and this move is to harbor evil intentions. ”

Lu Junyang put down the bamboo slip in his hand at this time and said, "I have seen a few people of this generation in the Stygian Spring Sect, but I don't know who it is?"

Zhou Xuan said: "This person's name is Le Rongniang, have you ever heard of a real person?"

Lu Junyang nodded, didn't ask any more, and still picked up the bamboo slip in his hand to look at it carefully.

Zhou Xuan looked at the two of them and said, "It's better to be careful, Zhou has been out for one night, and there are still mundane affairs in the house, so I will leave." ”

Jiao Yuanliang said: "I'll send it to Daoyou." ”

Zhou Xuan hurriedly said a few polite words, after he came out of the Xiaohan Realm all the way, he secretly said in his heart: "That Lu Zhenren is indeed extraordinary, I just hope that he will be sold today and will be useful in the future." ”

With such a lot of effort, he is optimistic that Lu Junyang will be able to achieve Dongtian in the future, and now he will sell it well, and when his disciples compete for the position of the top ten disciples in the future, he will also be able to get his help.

Looking back at it again, he snorted, and then he burst into a spiritual light, and returned to the cave with great ambition. (To be continued......)
