South of Yunliang Prefecture, Zuyun River.

The upper reaches of Zuyun River is a shallow canyon of bamboo sea between mountains and cliffs. The name of this valley is Yunzhu Forest.

The cliffs on both sides of the cloud bamboo forest are like screens, with hundreds of water waterfalls, large and small, hanging from the blue sky. The valley is like spring with birds chirping and flowers fragrant all year round. The water inside is as shallow as a mirror, and the water level at the highest point has never reached the knees. And the canyon is full of green bamboos, and the breeze

The breeze blows like waves chasing the sea.

These green bamboos all grow in the shallow water where koi fish swim. In addition, mist and mist linger among the bamboo pontoon bridges. From time to time, beautiful sounds of string instruments, harps, string instruments, and the gurgling water accompany the chirping of birds.

In the valley, it feels like Penglai Wonderland.

Several miles deep into the Yunzhu Forest, there are many large and small extremely elegant bamboo pavilions standing on the shallow water, or suspended between cliffs and waterfalls, connected by rope bamboo bridges, creating a quiet and pleasant scene.

This is the only female Xuanxiu sect in Shanhai - Wangyue Sect.

At this time, under the huge waterfall on the east side of the cliffs and canyons of these mountains, in the Bishuitan Creek, the upper source of the Zuyun River, a small purple bamboo boat was slowly sailing in.

When the boat sailed into the middle of the pool, in front of the huge towering black stone, the man in a bamboo hat who was sitting cross-legged in the boat had already stood up.

This person is none other than Mu Yanxie.

The small boat was powerless and windless, and floated ten feet away in front of the boulder. Mu Yanxie looked up at the three flowing water characters on the stone, "Wangyue Sect", and then held the sect's rites and bowed to the canyon on the mountainside of the huge water waterfall, saying: "Autumn Water

Zongmu Yanxie, please see Fairy Guanyue Lu Yinrong."

As soon as its sound came out, it echoed among the mountains and cliffs, and went straight into the canyon above the waterfall.

Not long after, there were several fairies dressed in emerald silk clouds and white cicada robes, covered with flowing clouds. They flew to the boulder like a startled giant, and stood up in a fan shape.

I saw one of the female senior sisters with good looks looking down at Mu Yanxie on the boat. With her ten fingers dancing like a bird, she made a moon-pointing salute to the sky and said, "Fellow Taoist Mu Yan is polite."

After saying that, she accepted the gift and asked: "I don't know why you want to see my senior sister?"

Mu Yanxie ignored the appearance of several fairies and said again like a stick: "Please tell me, fairies."

The female senior sister frowned slightly: "Senior sister Yin Rong cannot leave the seclusion and does not see outsiders. If Taoist friend Mu Yan has anything to do, we can pass the news on your behalf."

Mu Yanxie also knew that Lu Yinrong had gone into seclusion on her own because of her affair with Yun Jiannan...

Thinking of this, he did not embarrass these female disciples of Wangyue Sect, and said: "In that case, please tell fellow Taoist Fairy Guanyue and Mu Yanxie to ask for a meeting."

Okay~ After all, the word "wood" still means the same thing in three sentences, but the word "please see" has been changed to "see you"! Is there a difference? But in Mu Yanxie's view, the difference is huge.

...!

"You!" When the senior sister heard this, she was immediately annoyed.

I have already said that Senior Sister will not see outsiders, but why is this Mu Yanxie just like a piece of wood and cannot be bent around? Isn't it still necessary to see this person who is changing the soup without changing the medicine?

Seeing this, the senior sister was quite angry and simply extended her hand to say goodbye: "Fellow Taoist Mu Yan, please come back."

Mu Yanxie suddenly sat down, holding the black knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I will not give up if I don't see Fairy Guanyue today."

"Are you... so unreasonable?" Another female disciple of the Wangyue Sect said angrily: "Do you think that since you are a guest of Qingyun, our Wangyue Sect is afraid of you? If you don't leave, we will take action soon!

"

Mu Yanxie, on the other hand, still sat firmly, holding the sword: "Mu Yanxie has a black sword in his hand, and he never draws a sword against a woman."

"Hmph~!" A female disciple of Wangyue Sect became furious upon hearing this: "How dare you look down on women like us?"

The little junior sister next to the senior sister held out a brilliant flute, pointed it at Mu Yanxie, and said with a chuckle: "Senior sister, since this wood has said not to touch women, then we will teach him a lesson."

The fellow disciples and sisters beside him also cheered and said: "Yes, yes, he is a Qingyun guest. If you can defeat him, it will be great."

The senior sister looked at the group of people and smiled helplessly: "Do you really think his surname is Mu Yan and he is just a piece of wood? He only said that the black sword would not be used against women, but he did not say that he would not fight back..."

"Uh...!" The fairies immediately spat out their sweet tongues and retracted. The junior sister who offered the flute quickly hid the flute behind her and looked nervously at the one who was still sitting cross-legged holding a sword.

Mu Yanxie.

Obviously, this piece of wood Yanxie planned to be nailed here like a piece of wood.

At this moment, a beautiful and mysterious sound like the sounds of nature came faintly from the valley.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several Wangyue Sect fairies suddenly changed: "Senior sister is out of seclusion?!"

Immediately, after listening for a few breaths, they understood the meaning of the music and flew back to the valley like immortals, leaving only Mu Yanxie sitting alone in the bow of the boat.

The sound of the strings rises continuously, like the wind blowing from the sea of ​​bamboo, and then falls gracefully, and like the gurgling of a clear spring flowing into the heart.

Mu Yanxie listened silently, as if his heart was calm for a moment, as if there were no waves on the horizon...

When the song ends, the sound of the piano stops.

Mu Yanxie suddenly opened his eyes in surprise, then looked at the bamboo forest in the canyon and said in shock: "You...actually achieved the Great Perfection of Star Condensation!"

There was silence in the valley for a moment, and then a woman's voice sounded as beautiful as the sound of a piano: "If you live for a hundred years, what will happen to the temple, the shadow of the gods, and the void?"

A flying silk cloud, a white cicada-clad fairy figure, covering its face with clouds, is sitting cross-legged with a harp on the mist of the waterfall, among wind-blown bamboos and flowers.

Viewed from a distance, it looks like a startling dragon hiding its jade cheeks and cherry lips, its brows are as picturesque as smoke, its long hair is blowing in the wind, its blue silk hair seems to be dotted with green gold and jade, and the green bamboo behind it is even more brilliant like the rays of the sun, completely natural.

. Her willow waist is wrapped like a fairy, she is young and young, her skin is as good as snow, and her graceful posture is extremely beautiful. She can be peerless, but her appearance cannot be exaggerated.

Seeing this fairy-like figure appearing, Mu Yanxie recognized it at a glance, it was the Moon Fairy Lu Yinrong.

They are both Qingyun guests, so Mu Yanxie certainly knows each other's strength. Before the retreat, Lu Yinrong was only at the seventh level of Ningxing, but now she has clearly reached the level of Ningxing!

After ten years of spring and autumn, Lu Yinrong was able to break through three realms in a row and reach the Great Consummation of Ningxing! Is the rumor that Lu Yinrong is the mother of hundreds of flowers true? Then... isn't she only less than a hundred years old?

The longevity!

Mu Yanxie had excellent eyesight. Although Lu Yinrong was far away at the moment and the clouds covered his face, he could still vaguely observe that his eyes, which should have been blind and empty, were as deep and beautiful as the stars!

Seeing this, Mu Yanxie was surprised and said: "Your eyes...are indeed restored!"

Ever since Luo Yu told the Yun family and Wangyue Sect in Fairy Ze about Yun Jiannan, everyone knew that Lu Yinrong was the mother of Baihua. The fact is just as Luo Yu said, after Lu Yinrong gave birth to a daughter, the two

His eyesight was miraculously restored! Therefore, the news that Lu Yinrong was the mother of Baihua spread throughout the mountains and outside the mountains in a short time.

At this moment, Lu Yinrong was still sitting quietly, as if he had merged with the world into a painting.

She did not answer, but asked softly: "I wonder what Taoist friend Mu Yan wants to do with Yin Rong?"

Mu Yanxie pondered for a moment, then raised his head again: "I heard that Yun Jian went north and south to find the place of immortality. I wanted to ask the fairy if this was true. Now it seems..."

For a moment, the surroundings fell into silence, except for the sound of gurgling water and waterfalls.

Not long after, Lu Yinrong said sadly: "He went north to the end of the world for Yin Rong, but I don't know if I can wait for him to come back."

As he said that, he looked at Mu Yanxie and said, "You two used to compete with each other, but you never thought that ten years have passed and you are still looking for him."

Mu Yanxie nodded: "Now that we have got where we want to go, we should go north and fight to determine the male and female."

Lu Yinrong forced a gentle smile: "My daughter Yun'er is weak and Yinrong can't leave here. Can I ask Taoist friend Mu Yan to help me?"

As she said that, she actually showed a look of anticipation.

Mu Yanxie naturally knew that Yun Jiannan and Lu Yinrong had a daughter. This was not a secret in the world of cultivation, but few people had seen what his daughter looked like.

Mu Yanxie replied: "Please tell me."

Lu Yinrong took out a jade slip and waved it like a wave, pushing it towards Mu Yanxie from the air.

After she caught it, she said: "My daughter Yun'er is weak and Yin Rong cannot leave this valley. Please give this thing to Jian Nan and tell him that Yun'er will take the name for her father and Yin Rong will wait for your return."

"

Mu Yanxie frowned, looked at the jade slip in his hand, and muttered: "What if I can't find it?"

Lu Yinrong turned around and drifted away, leaving only a soft voice that echoed beyond the waterfall and in the pool: "If I haven't seen you for a hundred years, Yinrong is no longer alive, so I should leave you alone."

..”

Mu Yanxie looked at the departing figure, knowing clearly in his heart.

Why did Lu Yinrong ask him to tell him? It was because there was probably no one in the world who wanted to find Yun Jiannan more than Mu Yanxie and compete with him.

This makes people sigh, sometimes things in the world are so strange. Often the person who 'cares about' you the most and wants to find you the most is not necessarily your relative, but may very well be your opponent or your enemy!

...

A few days later, the northern part of Lingzhou was on the grassland close to the Jiuyue Mountains.

A huge Yujing shuttle flew across the sky and landed on the shuttle platform.

Not long after, Bai Lianxing walked out alone from the stone steps under the shuttle platform.

When the heavenly guards guarding the shuttle platform saw that it was the goddess who came in person, they quickly saluted.

Bai Lianxing, on the other hand, seemed absent-minded and waved his hand casually and asked, "Have you ever seen Daozi come?"

Several heavenly guards looked at each other and asked strangely: "Isn't Daozi sitting in Wendao Mountain?"

Bai Lianxing tried his best to smile: "Daozi wants to go down the mountain to see the customs of Lingzhou, it's time to go back now."

All the heavenly guards were suddenly stunned. One of them, the general of the heavenly guard, said respectfully: "So that's it. Don't worry, Your Highness the Heavenly Lady. But when you see the Taoist disciple, you will definitely convey it to me."

Looking at the vast hilly grassland all around, I saw the sun shining down, and my eyes were covered with golden and emerald green, occasionally dotted with deep red trees.

Bai Lianxing nodded slightly: "Has anyone suspicious passed by here recently?"

The Heavenly Guard General thought for a while, shook his head, and then pointed to the Jiuyue Mountains in the distance in surprise: "Although there was no suspicious person, I heard that a remnant of the Wuma clan fled to the Jiuyue Mountains and killed two people.
