Shrouding the sky: Slashing the world of mortals with a sword, becoming the strongest empress

Chapter 4
After walking out of the phantom formation, Nan Xiao finally saw the true face of Qingya Paradise.

The mortals in Banyuepo and Wangxian Market have looked up to the Immortal Xiaoyaoju for countless years, and now the fog has disappeared.

The hanging spring flies straight down, and the waterfall hangs high in the mountains.

Surrounded by black and white cranes of different colors, their crows are far away, corresponding to the falling spring.

Just one step, and the surrounding scenery retreats.

Elder Zilu brought Nan Xiao down into the mountains.

Before feeling the flight, the soft ground has already told Nan Xiao that this is the ground through the worn straw sandals.

The houses are mostly built of bamboo and wood, low and exquisite, scattered among them.

Men and women in gray robes are going back and forth in the fields and planting.

Transplanting rice seedlings in paddy fields and cultivating medicines in dry land.

In addition to gray robes, there are also cattle plowing the land and jade butterflies pollinating.

From time to time, a divine rainbow flashed across the sky, and the sound waves that followed made Daohua even more fragrant.

What surprised Nan Xiao the most was that there were herds of deer here.From time to time, young deer of various colors shuttled through the rice fields, and occasionally gnawed a few mouthfuls of herbs, but no one drove them away.

Unlike the wild deer in the mountains, although the deer here are very alert, they are not afraid of people.There was even a young deer, not yet horned, snow-spotted and shiny with a pale orange sheen.At this time, it actually took the initiative to walk in front of Nan Xiao, and lightly touched Nan Xiao's hand with its head.

"It likes you very much."

Elder Zilu stood beside Nan Xiao, squinting his eyes slightly, as if smiling.

"Master, there are so many deer here! Nan Xiao likes them too!"

Seriously stroking the head of the orange fawn, Nan Xiao felt very relaxed.

Under the guidance of the orange young deer, Elder Zilu walked into the medicine garden with a stick.After nodding to a medicine farmer wearing a black robe, Elder Zilu bent down slightly, and plucked a bright green leaf from an unknown herb that was growing well.

Afterwards, the cyan rainbow rose from the ground.

It turns out that this is flying!
Nan Xiao's mood was agitated, and she wanted to laugh loudly, but she held back.

When Nan Xiao came back to her senses, she met Elder Zilu's eyes again.

"It's all about flying. Why does he insist that flying by himself is the real flying?"

Elder Zilu muttered to himself, as if asking, but his eyes were calm.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, but I think he may feel that being under your wing all the time is not in line with his heart?" Nan Xiao replied cautiously.

Another sigh.

Elder Zilu gently patted Nan Xiao's head, and brought the leaves that he picked off to Nan Xiao's mouth.

"Eat it, this is the hundred-year-old ginseng new leaves specially found by the sika medicine deer for you according to your physical condition. Strengthening the root and nourishing the essence can relieve fatigue and relieve all kinds of overdraft caused by previous mountaineering. Here is mine. Outside the cave, you don't have to be nervous."

Nan Xiao obediently put the fingernail-sized leaf into her mouth, chewed it for a few moments, and in an instant, sweet juice flowed down her throat.

Nan Xiao, who had suffered too much, was unwilling to waste it, and actually swallowed all the debris left after chewing.

I am exhausted, but my chest is hot.

Nan Xiao's face flushed red, as if her body was about to melt in an instant.

"sit."

Elder Zilu sat on the ground and asked Nan Xiao to sit in front of him.

With her back to the old man, Nan Xiao held back the heat in her chest and tried her best to maintain her self-esteem.

Putting both hands on Nan Xiao's back, two cool breaths slowly flowed across her back and circulated vertically.

Under the action of the cool breath, the scalding heat in the chest gradually dissipated, and then poured into the limbs.

The blood on Nan Xiao's face quickly faded, and the pain also faded a lot.

About an hour passed.

Nan Xiao, who was nourished by centuries-old ginseng leaves, quietly fell asleep at some point.

She has been tired for too long, and this time she can finally rest.

Elder Zilu slowly withdrew his hands and let out a long sigh.

Although Nan Xiao's Wheel of Life has only seven engravings, it is already covered with cracks, which is more dilapidated than his old bones.

Once the wheel of life collapsed, Nan Xiao would undoubtedly die.

Using the elder's power and with the help of Yaolu Plum Blossom, Elder Zilu obtained the right to use a century-old ginseng tablet.If it is an adult, it will live at least ten years longer after using it, but for Nan Xiao who has exhausted his life by climbing the [-]-step Shu Road, this increase in efficiency is just a drop in the bucket.

The most difficult thing is that Nan Xiao's physique is worse than that of Lin Xiao who could not break through to Shenqiao in his whole life.

Although it was possible to detect the sea of ​​bitterness, that was all.

Ordinary people's wheel of life is deep in the sea of ​​bitterness, but Nan Xiao's wheel of life seems to be far away from the sea of ​​bitterness.

If Nan Xiao had only stayed in the realm of the sea of ​​bitterness all her life, she might not have died young.

But Nan Xiao was able to climb ten thousand steps with a body that was weaker than ordinary people, with that kind of heart and will, she would never be willing to stop in the realm of the sea of ​​suffering.

But the problem lies in this, once she breaks through to the realm of life spring, then there will be more than good luck.

After all—the fountain of life can only spring from the wheel of life, and it is close to the sea of ​​bitterness.

This also means that others practice to increase their lifespan, while Nan Xiao does the exact opposite.

The sea of ​​bitterness is for death, and the spring of life is for life.

Others are pregnant with the spring of life in the sea of ​​bitterness to forge the door of life, but here at Nanxiao, once they practice to the spring of life, life and death are opposite, and the fire cooks oil.

At that time, I am afraid that he will be close to death.

Elder Zilu is just a cultivator of the other side, with average aptitude, and his understanding of the secret realm of Lunhai is limited to this.

Is the idiot blaming me for being biased in the past?Leave such a problem.

Elder Zilu, who had always pretended to be calm, fell into endless self-blame and remorse.

It is not only because of the eccentricity in life that led to the destruction of the beloved disciple, but also because the problems left by the deceased disciple cannot be properly resolved.

Had she known, she would not have been allowed to climb so many steps.

However, if she doesn't climb the Shu Road, how can I, the last elder, keep her behind?
The road to Shu is difficult, and mortals die forever.

Dilemma.

Ugh--

It's getting dark.

Elder Zilu used spiritual power to send the sleeping Nan Xiao to the wooden bed in the house, and asked his servants to bring two new quilts.

When Nan Xiao woke up, she found that it was already dark outside.

At this time, she was lying on a wooden bed with a soft surface and a warm quilt covering her body.

The orange fawn stood in front of the window, its eyes met Nan Xiao's, and he could even see his worry from it.

In the corner of her eyes, Nan Xiao saw Elder Zilu sitting cross-legged on a bamboo chair.

Sitting up hastily, her pretty white face turned rosy, Nan Xiao humbly apologized: "Master, I'm really sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."

"Nothing, I have something to tell you."

Elder Zilu waved his hand to express his indifference, and then told the story of the death of the Nanxiao Cultivation Association in the future and the reason.

The orange fawn looks down, as if sad.

"It's still too late for you to give up now, I can fly you back, and I won't let you come here for nothing." Elder Zilu advised again.

Nan Xiao's eyes were red, she clenched her hands into fists, loosened and clenched, clenched and loosened again.

After being silent for a long time, Nan Xiao raised her head, forced a smile and said, "Master, then I can skip the Spring of Fate and directly practice the Divine Bridge?"

Elder Zilu paused when he heard the words, as if his long-standing concept had been impacted, he shouted angrily in a low voice like a Taoist priest of the old age: "Impossible, this system of cultivation has been in place since ancient times, if you want to change, you must at least A sage can create a law! You don’t even know how to walk, you just want to fly! It’s bad enough for me to have Li Xiao, an idiot, but he is obedient and works hard enough. But you are so ambitious now, Don't be blindly confident, you will be the next to die!"

Although she was scolded a lot, Nan Xiao was not angry, she just lowered her head slightly without saying a word.

After Elder Zilu's mood gradually calmed down, Nan Xiao explained: "Master, can I accumulate enough in the sea of ​​bitterness, and then while cultivating the spring of life, I can build a bridge of magic, so that there is a bridge between life and death?" What about the transition?"

This time, Elder Si Si did not object immediately, but after thinking for a moment, he frowned and said firmly: "Impossible! If only those wizards in the legend could do it, your physique is far different from theirs, and you can't do this." .”

"Master, I must try!"

Nan Xiao didn't retreat in spite of the difficulties, but looked at Elder Zilu firmly.

After a moment of silence, Elder Zilu sighed in a low voice, and then said: "My life is about to come to an end, so I will be closed to death for the next ten years. This is my portable jade pendant. From now on, you will be my registered disciple. Cultivate here. The school has already arranged for you. After that, you will follow the medicine deer, Plum Blossom, to the school to learn characters at the morning bell, and listen to other elders and masters explain the basics of practice. All kinds of methods."

Probably feeling that it was inappropriate for him to throw his hands away as a shopkeeper, Elder Zilu said again in a deep voice: "This jade slip contains a complete set of Taoist scripture scrolls, although it is like heaven and earth compared to the real Taoist scriptures, it is enough for you to practice in the future. After you have fully read the characters and have a certain understanding of the practice, you can drip blood to obtain the right to use the jade slips. Remember, this method cannot be passed on to outsiders. As for those weird and crooked ways you said, I don’t care. I hope I can find out and die Guan, I can still see you. You used to have only one senior sister, named Lin Lingling, in the Shenqiao Realm, and she is still training outside, so I won’t introduce you to her. She has a bad temper, so don’t go to her unless life and death are at stake. Daily life Don't worry, as the seventh elder of Qingya blessed land, I still have some servants."

Nan Xiao nodded repeatedly.

"It's so good, life and death are fate, see you in ten years."

Elder Zilu walked out of the house slowly, leaning on a cane, instead of controlling Shenhong.

Nan Xiao got up, put away the full moon jade pendant made of the same material as Lin Xiao's on the table, and bid farewell silently.

Nan Xiao didn't go back to the room to rest until he could no longer see Elder Zilu's background.

Ten years later, can we really meet again?
On the branches of the moon, the clouds hide the brilliance.

Time is like running water, diluting loss and sadness.

"Xiaolu Xiaolu, your name is plum blossom! From now on, we will take good care of you!"

The fawn that was called by Nan Xiao kindly just stood quietly on the ground, and its thinking could be seen in its clear eyes.

Then, just like when we first met, it poked its head out, arched Nan Xiao's soft belly, and closed its eyes comfortably under the caress of Nan Xiao's little hand.

So comfortable.

This road has not been taken in vain.

The matter of revenge can finally be prepared.

Nan Xiao looked out along the wooden house——

The moonlight was fading.

The verdant mountains and forests during the day have been covered by darkness.

Wan Lai has a sound, and the dark night has a special charm.

From time to time, cultivators rode the Changhong to light up the sky for a short time.

Fireflies dance lightly in the low sky, competing with the moon for glory.

It would be a good thing if time could stay here.

Nan Xiao, who has strict requirements on herself, is also enjoying the joy at this time.

The body temperature of the sika deer is very warm and fluffy. Finally, she is not alone.

Just rest for one night.

Nan Xiao comforted herself, she didn't think this was depravity.

"The fairy in the sky is rowing the boat, shaking and shaking, high and high, the night in the town is quiet. I want to be a good baby, neither cry nor make trouble, and go to bed obediently..."

The refreshed Nan Xiao softly hummed the stolen ballad and slept with the moon in the sky.

Enjoy the moment.
