"I ......"

It took a long time for Yichen to slowly recover, looked at the girl in front of him, and shook his head: "It's okay, I scared you just now." ”

"Hmph!" Ni Shang tilted her head, the boss on her face was unhappy, and pouted: "Talking to you, who knew that you were still serious, so stingy, hum." ”

"Sorry, sorry......"

Yichen rubbed his forehead, always feeling that since the headache that night, his spirit has been in a trance for the past two days, and even he can't tell why it happened just now.

The next month passed, and the Xuanqing Sect stipulated that in the first three months, the disciples who had just entered the Seven Venerable Sect for three years would come to Tianchi Valley every day to practice the Dao of this sect, and after three months, they would come every three days, and after a year, they would come every seven days, and after three years, if the Dao Fa was successful, they would come once a month, and they would be tested by the elders of the Gong Sect.

The disciples of Tianchi Valley come from the seven peaks, but the Xuanqing Sect also has very strict door rules, the disciples of the Seven Peaks are only allowed to exchange the general Dao method of their own sect on weekdays, and they are never allowed to teach each other the Xuangong Mental Method of their respective Venerable Sects in private, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

In the past month, Yichen's Dao cultivation has never made any progress, no matter how he works day and night, and even has brought the magic of the Xuanbronze Mirror to the extreme, Dao Xing cultivation has always stayed in the early stage of "refining and refining qi", and it is difficult to make a breakthrough.

On the other hand, most of them have preliminarily mastered some Xuanqing Dao Methods, and because he is not enough in the Dao stage, it has always been difficult to get a glimpse of those advanced Dao Methods, and gradually, he has been alienated, and even sneered at by many people, saying that the world-famous Yao Guangzun has accepted a stupid apprentice.

Maybe this is the state of human feelings, even the immortal cultivators who are far away from the world are no exception, if he is not Ling Yin's apprentice, if he is not in such a high position, then no one will notice him, let alone sneer.

At the beginning, the two elders of Songbai would guide him carefully, but gradually, even the two elders seemed to have given up, and after a month, no matter how bad others were, they would make progress, but no matter how he cultivated, he was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any effect, and he couldn't even make a ripple.

Unconsciously, even the two elders gradually became a little disheartened, just in terms of Dao cultivation alone, they had never seen a disciple with such poor qualifications, like a stubborn stone that could not be carved.

On this afternoon, the sky was clear, it was the day when the elders of the Gong Gong tried the disciples of the Dao Fa, Yichen didn't learn anything, and felt bored, so he simply left Tianchi Valley, and a person flew aimlessly, and every time he encountered a dangerous place, he launched Ling Xian to climb it, and he didn't know where he came, and gradually felt that the mountain wind was a little cold, and in a blink of an eye, he found that he had come to the "Lianfeng Platform" last time.

I saw that several mountain peaks were connected in the distance, and the pillar of heaven on the platform could not see its top, as if it was connected to the sky, which added a bit of forest meaning to this place.

I don't know why, the last time I heard from my eyebrows, I said that this was the place where the disciples who had committed serious crimes were judged, and at this time, he felt a chill invade, and he slowly approached with the flying sword, but the closer he got to the platform, the more he felt a sense of tranquility.

When you get closer, the more precipitous the terrain is, as if you don't pay attention, you will fall down the cliff and break your bones, only to see a steep cliff engraved with fourteen big characters:

Even the peaks go to the sky and do not exceed the feet, and the dead pines hang upside down against the cliffs.

But seeing that the fourteen characters are vigorous, and the cliff is natural, even after thousands of years of wind and sun, it still has not withered half a minute, Yichen can't help but feel a burst of surging emotions, thinking that these fourteen words are used to describe the steepness and majesty of this place, no matter how good it is.

At this moment, I suddenly heard an old chant from the cliff of the empty valley in the distance: "Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky......"

The voice came from the back of the Lianfeng platform, and the sound of the crane singing in the high sky was harmonious, and it seemed to be far away, and Yichen couldn't help but move in his heart, although it was only eight words, but it seemed to have exhausted the vicissitudes of the world, and the mortal cultivator asked, how difficult is it? I can't help but think that these days, it is difficult for me to improve my Taoist cultivation no matter what, but isn't it this "difficult to go to the blue sky"?

For a while, Yichen was in a state of turmoil, and he was determined to see which old immortal was practicing on this cold mountain, and he was afraid of being rude, so he got off the flying sword and walked on foot to the valley where the voice came.

After about half a pillar of incense, Yichen went around to the cliff behind the Lianfeng platform, but saw that the cliff was about ten thousand feet high, and it was still bottomless, and it was countless steeper than other places in Xuanqing Mountain.

Although he had now cultivated the Imperial Sword Technique and the Ling Immortal Step, at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little cold from the heights, and he couldn't help but be cautious under his feet, Xuan Qingshan was no steeper and more terrifying than here.

After walking for a while, Yichen heard the sound of "rustling" sweeping the floor from not far away, it was winter, the aura of Tianshu Peak was surrounded, and the grass and trees in other places were not decaying, but only here the mountain was high and the wind was cold, and the leaves had fallen all over the ground, and it couldn't help but look a little bleak and desolate.

And the person who swept the floor was an old man who was as thin as wood, wearing a blue and white Dao robe that had long been washed and faded, compared to some other immortal wind Dao bone elders in Xuanqing Sect, this old man looked too ordinary.

Yichen can't help but feel a little curious, this place is so dangerous, how can there be an old man sweeping the floor here, such a large area, the fallen leaves are swept away and spread, when will spring return?

Standing in the distance and watching for a while, Yichen saw that the old man was sweeping the floor leisurely, and he didn't seem to notice that someone was coming, but the fallen leaves on the ground couldn't be swept away, and after sweeping this land, another piece of land was full again, so he said, "Uncle, do you want me to help you?"

"Young man, it's dangerous here, what are you doing here?"

The thin old man slowly spoke, swept the fallen leaves on the ground leisurely, and when Yichen saw him talking to himself, he didn't seem so raw, and walked over slowly, but it was very cold here, the closer he got to the cliff, the more he felt a chill, as if even his legs were about to weaken, how could Xuan Qingshan have such a terrible cliff? Curious asked: "Uncle, what kind of place is this? Why are you sweeping the floor here alone?"

"Here...... It's called 'Burial Cliff'. ”

"Burial...... Burial Immortal Cliff!"

Yichen only felt the creep behind him, trembling all over, and hurriedly retreated, looking at the cliff at this moment, he felt even more terrifying, how could the Xianmen Holy Land take such a terrible name? This is too unlucky, and asked: "Uncle, here...... Why is it called that?"

The old man also took the trouble to say to him: "Because here, even if the immortal falls, he may not see the whole corpse." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing him say this, Yichen subconsciously retreated back, and then he sensed that there were bursts of powerful spiritual power coming up from under the cliff, and suddenly remembered that the master had told him that the Xuanqing Seven Peaks conquered the heavens and the earth and created them, arranged in seven stars, and there was an earth spiritual vein suppressed under the mountain.

Could it be that this is the place where the spiritual power of the seven peaks meets, no wonder, the spiritual power intersection below is like a thousand sharp blades, and the immortals fall down, and they have to be caught in it, and they are instantly torn apart by the power of heaven and earth.

"You, how did you get here?"

The old man finally stopped the broom in his hand and looked at him. Yichen came back to his senses, and thought that everyone in Tianchi Valley didn't want to see him, and he didn't dare to return to Zixiao Peak so early, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, and said, "I walked around and came here." ”

"That's right. ”

The old man began to sweep the fallen leaves all over the ground again, Yichen stood by and looked at it for a while, and asked curiously: "Uncle, when I came just now, I saw a giant sword on the platform over there, but the giant sword was cut off, who cut the sword, does Uncle know?"

The old man's wrinkled hands suddenly shook slightly, but the change at this moment instantly dissipated without a trace, and he just said calmly: "A person who has been removed." ”

"Huh?" Yichen was even more curious, and asked again, "Does that uncle know who he is?"

"You want to know?"

The old man suddenly stopped the broom in his hand and looked at him.

"Eun!"

Yichen nodded vigorously, he had always been curious about the past of Xuanqingmen, but the master was cold all day long, and he didn't say much to him, let alone mention the past of Zixiao Peak three hundred years ago. He was actually very curious about the previous affairs of Zixiao Peak, but the huge Xuanqing Sect didn't seem to have even one who knew about it, and the elders were even more secretive and avoided talking about it.

The old man took a deep breath, looked at the half-cut giant sword in the distance with a pair of cloudy eyes, and said slowly: "In hundreds of years, I have seen the best qualified disciple. ”

"Huh?" Yichen lowered his head and said secretly: "Is there anyone more powerful than Master......" Before he finished speaking, the old man looked at him and said, "In the past, your master's qualifications were not below him, but they were not above him. ”

"Does Uncle know who my master is?"

The old man began to sweep the fallen leaves on the ground again, and said slowly: "If there is no Ling Yin's Ling Immortal Step, how can you be a little teenager to climb this Lianfeng platform?"

"Hey, hey!"

Yichen grinned, he has always been cold-eyed in the past month, and now he has finally met a person who can affirm himself, what the old man means is that no matter how high those disciples are in Taoism, no matter how powerful they are in Taoism, they can't come here, and at the same time, it is also said that Master's Ling Xianbu is the most powerful.

"Ah, uncle, you haven't told me yet, what is the name of the person you just mentioned?"

"His name is Shen Cangming. The old man said slowly while sweeping the floor.

"Shen Cangming......"

Yichen lowered his head and thought about it, the last time he heard Uncle Mei say that Lianfengtai was the place where those who committed serious crimes were tried, so what did this Shen Cangming senior do back then?

The old man did not answer him, but asked, "What if one day, everyone in the world says that you are wrong, but you yourself think that you are not wrong?"

"I ......"

Yichen lowered his head and thought about it carefully, his master was Yaoguangzun, so this kind of thing would not happen to him, but he still said: "If it were me, then I would prove my innocence no matter what, even if it was death." ”

"En......" The old man bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Back then, he jumped from this burial immortal cliff. ”
