Before > Xuanshui True Palace, the bamboo blows the clouds, the pine and cypress support the sun, the breeze comes and goes, the blue sky is full of light, the color is coiled, the bright water waves are rainbow, among the cool water surface, there is a spring rising up diffusely, tracing the flow to the sky, such as the jade dragon spitting water, opening the light, but three feet high, several auspicious clouds are piled up, low at the end of the water.

Qi Yuntian sat on it, wearing a pure yang scarf, a feather coat, the corners of his clothes fluttered freely in the wind, and he was pressing one hand on the void, with his gesture changing, the lake and sea below were like breathing, and they were also falling together, surging up and down.

Fan Changqing stood in the distance with his hands down, not daring to step forward to disturb.

After a while, Qi Yuntian put his hand away, scattered the magic trick, and smoothed the water potential, then turned around and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Fan, how is this trip?"

Compared with twenty years ago, his bearing is more condensed, when he looks at it, it seems that the mountains are moving together, looking down on the common people, although Fan Changqing can see him from time to time, but his breath is slightly stagnant, and he arched his hand and said: "As expected by Senior Brother, Senior Brother Zhang has really succeeded in refining medicine and achieved Jindan." ”

Qi Yuntian bowed slightly, a deep brilliance appeared in his eyes, and said, "Can you see clearly, how many products does Senior Brother Zhang Yan have?"

Fan Changqing replied cautiously: "According to Senior Brother's opinion, Senior Brother Zhang should be above the sixth grade of Dancheng, but it should be higher than the fourth grade, but it is only ......."

Qi Yuntian said with a smile: "Just what?"

Fan Changqing's chubby face also showed a smile, and said: "Senior Brother Zhang always has unexpected actions, you can't guess it with common sense, it's what I see from Senior Brother, but it may not be true." ”

Qi Yuntian showed a thoughtful look at this time, Fan Changqing looked at his expression, and added a sentence carefully, "Senior brother, senior brother steals that it looks like Senior Brother Zhang." Although he is somewhat similar to Senior Brother Ning, he has high ambitions, but he knows how to hide his edge, and he can only do it and not control it. ”

Qi Yuntian laughed loudly, shook off the sleeves of his robe, and said, "Senior Brother Fan is right. Senior Brother Zhang must have his own thoughts and concerns. If he has big ambitions, why should we be bound by him, and I want to see how far he can go. ”

Fan Changqing exhaled, he had been walking in the door for Qi Yuntian for many years, attracting people's hearts. Recruiting high-level talents, with his vision, he can see that Zhang Yan is extraordinary, and he can't ignore it casually, because he is afraid that Qi Yuntian will have to hold Zhang Yan by his side and manipulate it like a chess piece. This is not good for both sides, but now it seems that Qi Yuntian is worthy of the three generations of great disciples, with a magnificent bearing, able to release and receive, and not narrow-minded.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Senior brother, when I came here. I heard the news from the family, and it seems that there is going to be a Pindan conference......"

Qi Yuntian tasted it slightly. Knowing the mystery, he didn't care and said: "The general trend is on me, even if it occasionally makes waves, what can I do? Don't care, let them go." ”

Fan Changqing nodded yes and said no more.

Within a few days, led by the Zheng family, the news that the twelve giant chambers wanted to restart the Pindan Festival spread all over the mountain gate, and the disciples in the door discussed this matter one after another, and they were all excited, but anyone with a discerning eye could see why the family made this move, but the strange thing is that the master and apprentice were silent about it, and no one came out to stop it, as if they were left to their own devices.

In this way, the festival went smoothly, but half a month later, the date was set.

At this time, an invitation to the Pindan Festival was also sent to Zhang Yan, he took the letter and read it, his eyes flashed slightly, as a true disciple, how could he not go to this Pindan Conference?

He couldn't help but laugh and tossed the letter aside.

At this time, there was a fluctuation on the small pot mirror beside him, and a voice came out, saying, "Master, there are two elders from the Shangming Hall outside the door to visit. Zhang Yan took a look, and saw two old Taoists with white beards and fairy bones in the mirror, and found that they were still two acquaintances, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "Please." ”

He stood up, stepped out, went straight from the twelve-story palace to the first floor of the main hall, and sat cross-legged on the jade couch.

Not long after, Shang Shang brought these two elders over, Zhang Yan didn't get up, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Elder Hu and Elder Huo, the two of them are not in the Shangming Courtyard to cultivate, and they are coming to our mansion, why did they come?"

These two Taoists are Hu Zhili and Huo Zhiqi, who tried to coerce Zhang Yan on Zhujie Island, but instead he cut off his beard with a sword and left in embarrassment.

Although these two people are only in the Xuanguang realm, they rely on the identity of the elders of Shangming, and there are people behind them at this moment, so they are not afraid to face Zhang Yan, who is now in the realm of Huadan.

Huo Zhiqi said with a cold face: "Zhang Yan, I came here today to send a message to you on the order of a senior brother in the sect, and you can't go to the Pindan Festival." ”

Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows, and when he saw the serious appearance of these two people, he felt quite amused: "Why?"

Hu Zhili snorted and sneered: "Zhang Yan, don't think that I don't know, you are a disciple who is no more than five or six grades of Dancheng, and going to that festival will only be a shame for our master and apprentice, so it's better not to go!"

Huo Zhiqi didn't wait for Zhang Yan to speak, threw down a talisman, and scolded: "You take this card to Longyan Zebei Farm to guard for a few days, and when the festival is closed, you will find an opportunity to come back, and you will have your own benefits, otherwise someone will control you, and then you will not be able to do it yourself." ”

Zhang Yan smiled faintly, stretched out his hand, and put the talisman into his hand, Hu Zhili and Huo Zhiqi glanced at each other, they were all proud, there were junior disciples in the door who called Zhang Yan the first true disciple in a hundred years, in their opinion, what is the first in a hundred years, under such coercion, it is not the same to bow down.

Who knew that the next moment, their faces changed, and they saw that the talisman turned into fine powder, flowing down from Zhang Yan's fingers, and sprinkled on the ground, only to hear him say coldly: "You two are just elders of the Shangming Palace, and you have only cultivated Xuanguang for hundreds of years, sitting there and eating and waiting for death, how can you have the power to control my head?" Get out of here!"

With a wave of his robe sleeves, there was a gust of wind in the hall for a moment, and the two of them thought that Zhang Yan would turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, and they were suddenly shocked, and they wanted to say something, but they suddenly felt that their eyes were dark, and they lost their minds.

When they woke up again, they found themselves lying under Zhaoyou Mountain. His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were in tatters, like a beggar.

The two of them trembled and got up, and said loudly to Zhaoyou Mountain: "Zhang Yan, we tell you honestly, even if you want to go to the Danhui, you may not be able to get out of the mountain gate. ”

As soon as these words came out, a fresh breeze suddenly swept in the sky. The two were startled. Thinking that Zhang Yan was going to make a move again, he hurriedly drove Xuanguang and ran away with his head in his arms.

Liu Yanyi, who was standing in the clouds, smiled lightly, turned back to the hall, and said, "Teacher." The two old disgusting things are gone, but listening to their words, it seems that there is still a backhand. ”

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this matter, you have your own plans for the teacher, and go down." ”

Liu Yan bowed and retreated.

Zhang Yan returned to the main mansion. I closed my eyes and meditated.

After half a month like this, Zhaoyou Tianchi was calm and waveless, and nothing unusual happened.

However, on the day of the Pindan Festival, outside the gate of Zhaoyou Tianchi Mountain, two young Taoists came and sat on the top of the peak, each without saying a word. Just staring at the Tianchi Mountain Gate.

One of them was a star-crowned feather coat and a dashing spirit. There was a white-feathered flying harrier lying at his feet, Zhang Yan had also seen this person, it was Ren Mingyao, who was with him in Nandangze to suppress demons, and Meng Zhenren was a registered disciple. ..., while the other person was mediocre in appearance, wearing a high crown and wrapped in a green sermon robe, but his eyes were very smart and full of brilliance, which made people unforgettable.

This time, they were entrusted by a senior brother to come here to prevent Zhang Yan from going to the Pindan Conference.

In fact, Hu Zhili and Huo Zhiqi can't see through the deep meaning of this, how can they, as orthodox disciples in the line of master and apprentice, not understand?

Zhang Yan no matter how many grades he has made, whether it is high or low, in short, appearing at the Pindan meeting is nothing more than two endings: disgrace and fame, but no matter what the result is, it is not what the senior brother wants to see.

When the two of them sat in the corner, they suddenly saw the water of Tianchi shaking, the gate of the array opened, and a white mist rushed out in an instant, wanting to throw it at the mountain gate of the Mingcang faction.

Ren Mingyao's eyes narrowed, knowing that it was Zhang Yan who came out, he immediately stood up, stepped on the flying harrier, stopped in front, and shouted: "Senior Brother Zhang, stay!"

And another high-crowned Taoist also came at the same time, standing on the other side without saying a word, and faintly enveloped Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan didn't seem to be surprised at all, his expression was calm, and he said with a smile: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Ren, I don't know what this move means." ”

Ren Mingyao said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Zhang, we are also entrusted by others to stop you here, I hope you don't embarrass us, if you can turn around, we will not insist on getting along with you." ”

Although he has little contact with Zhang Yan, he also knows that the other party is not a person who can be easily succumbed, and he cannot be shaken by words.

The other high-crowned Taoist stared at Zhang Yan with burning eyes, ready to move, as if as long as he didn't agree, he would immediately take action.

Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Even so, there is no need to say more, the subordinates will discuss the true chapter." ”

His eyes were suddenly cold, and he didn't make a move, but his breath surged, and under the induction of the two people's qi, he suddenly felt cold all over his body, and it seemed that the person opposite was more than ten times more dangerous than him, and there was a panic in his heart for no reason, his face changed greatly, and he retreated back violently.

At this moment, Ren Mingyao knew that Zhang Yan was far from being as simple as he thought before, and he no longer dared to think of fighting alone, and shouted: "Senior Brother Huang, let's do it together." ”

It's just that they just made a move, but there was a mighty sword that cut through the void and flew from the sky, the two of them only felt that the light in front of them was shaking, and thousands of sword qi swayed down, the cold air was overflowing, and the cold mangs were pressing their necks, and it seemed that they might be beheaded by a sword at any time, and they hurriedly retreated in shock, Ren Mingyao was shocked, his throat moved, and he said dryly: "Senior Brother Ning?"

As soon as the fog and clouds were divided, Ning Chongxuan stepped out of the void, hunting in clothes, one person in front, like a sword in the sky, his eyes swept coldly, and said lightly: "Senior Brother Zhang, you go by yourself, I see who dares to stop you." ”

Zhang Yan smiled slightly, bowed to Ning Chongxuan, and without saying much, he drove away in the clouds, turning into a white smoke and flying away.

Under Ning Chongxuan's gaze, Ren Mingxiao and the high-crowned Daoist didn't dare to make any moves, so they had no choice but to glance at each other, and could only watch Zhang Yanyang leave.
