More than twenty years ago, the Xiangyu Sect.

The wooden building made of Chun wood is still strong, but the smooth corners and texture indicate that the building is very old. This is a house in the back mountain, mostly used for the elders of the sect who like to live in peace and quiet.

.

The light yellow plank road is paved in the shade of the trees, leading to the outside world. A young disciple is sitting on a chair in front of the wooden house, flipping through the books in his hands, quite leisurely, and occasionally looking outside, thinking that it is time to change shifts today.

.

It was afternoon, birds occasionally chirped in the forest, and the bright sunshine shone on me, which made me sleepy.

Suddenly, the disciple who was flipping through the book stopped his fingers and looked up at the plank road. Unexpectedly, there was a figure wearing a red dress on the plank road. The style of his clothes was very different from that in the East, but more like what is popular in the western mainland.

style.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Looking at this sudden visitor, the disciple slowly stood up in surprise and unconsciously touched the scabbard on the side.

Before the woman in the red dress could reply, an old voice came from inside the wooden house.

"Don't be nervous, this is my old friend, cough cough." He coughed again, as if he was not feeling well.

After hearing the old man in the room speak, the disciple also relaxed.

"Yes, Patriarch Qingyu." As he said this, he made way for the woman to enter.

When passing by him, the woman smiled slightly at him, seeming to express goodwill.

As the wooden door creaked and then closed, the wooden house became quiet again. The woman in the red dress walked up to the second floor and saw the old man in the hospital bed.

"I'm sorry for calling you here so presumptuously." The old man sat on the bedside, his long gray hair scattered in front of him. Although it was a bit messy, he had a bit of an immortal spirit. It can be seen that he was also a handsome man when he was young.

swordsman.

"It's nothing, but you, things are not going well now." The woman shook her head and sat on the chair next to the bed.

"I know my own situation well, I'm afraid it won't be long." He shook his head.

"However, I don't have too many regrets. I have done everything I should do. Sumirehua is also a good child. There will be no problem in handing over the Xianyu Sect to her in the future."

"That's true. Although I don't move around much in the mountains, I can feel that the environment is pretty good. The younger generation are very diligent and get along well with each other." The woman in the red dress answered.

"How about the new kid? Chiwu wrote to me and said that she is very special and asked me to pay more attention to her, but you also know my situation."

"That child..." The woman in the red dress thought of the girl she saw a few days ago. She had exceptionally clear eyes and a somewhat light aura about her body.

"It should be about the same as me."

"Oh, then Chiwu guessed it right too, haha."

"You Xianyu sect are really lucky. You can encounter such good luck just sitting at home." The woman in the red dress responded with a chuckle.

"Haha, that's not true, haha... cough cough." He laughed and coughed again.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. You asked me to come this time, and it must be more than just this little thing." The woman in the red dress said...

"Yes, I am actually a little hesitant about this matter, but I think I don't have much time left, so it would be better to find someone to solve it. After all, our generation's face is still there. When I die, Sumirehua will

It’s not that convenient to go out to find people.”

"Haha, so you just let me do the errands, right?" the woman in the red dress said with a teasing smile.

"I remember you being a very free and easy person when you were young. Why do you have so many thoughts when you get older?"

"There is no way. When I was young, I felt that I was omnipotent in heaven and on earth. I led my juniors to defeat all the factions in the world in the red tower sword fight. At that time, I felt that I was really amazing. But now, I am old and frail, and I have many lofty ideals.

It just fell apart, and we can only rely on some scheming and planning to make long-term plans."

"Last year, Junior Brother Guiyuan from Guanxing Mansion came over and told me some strange things in the palace. Although he acted a little casually at the time, he and I have been close friends since we were young. I know that people like him, such as

I wouldn’t say such trivial things unless necessary.”

"Then Junior Brother Guiyuan passed away not long after he returned to Guanxing Mansion. Although part of the reason was the changes in the world, which led to the loss of cultivation and rapid physical weakness of our generation, I think that with his body at that time, he would not have passed away like this.

quick."

"So later on I started to pay more attention to it and asked people to make inquiring questions one after another, about the palace and the inside of the Star Observation Mansion."

"You also know that Guanxing Mansion has a close relationship with the dynasty, and there are many clan disciples among them. Although Junior Brother Guiyuan is the elder of the sect, there are some things that he cannot say openly, so I guess he wanted to tell me in a subtle way at that time.

"

"Later, I probed and felt that the water was getting deeper and deeper. The royal family was very afraid of this. If it was exposed, I'm afraid they would severely suppress the Xianyu Sect."

"So, you stopped?"

"Yes, but in the end we got some clues."

"So, you want me to look for this clue for you?" The woman in the red dress was thoughtful.

"That's right, the clue is related to His Majesty Chifeng. You are both goddesses, so maybe you can relate to each other."

"You think highly of me." The woman shook her head.

"Although we are indeed different from ordinary people, we are not much better now. Before we fully recover our strength, we will not be much stronger than practitioners of the same level. The royal family is powerful and can easily mobilize a large number of masters to besiege.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist."

"Well, yes, so I don't ask for too much. Just inquire carefully. After all, this matter is too important..."

"His Majesty Chifeng has been living in seclusion since the change of heaven and earth. I thought before that he should be practicing in seclusion to regain his strength, but now it doesn't seem like it, because with His Majesty Chifeng's character and habits, he will not let the dragon veins go unchecked.

Let it deviate slowly. For this kind of thing, it is often easiest to correct it at the beginning, but when it deviates further, it will become more and more troublesome and difficult to recover."

"Maybe Chifeng-sama also has ideas. In the past, witches complained that Chifeng's control was too broad, and everyone felt very restricted in the East." The woman in the red dress shook her head.

"Maybe this time, Lord Chifeng wants to let go and see if the dynasty can find a way to handle it on its own."…

"However, as you said, if this was Chifeng's own idea, the royal family would not be so secretive. Maybe there was an accident."

"I will take a trip for you later, but the result is hard to guarantee."

"Thank you." After saying that, the old man on the hospital bed breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's it. I'll make some preparations and set off in a few days." After saying that, the woman in the red dress stood up, walked slowly down the stairs, and left the secluded wooden house.

——

Four years later, Yanggu Mansion.

This is a remote county located in the northeast of the Yellow Sea. It faces the Fengbo Sea to the east, the Yellow Sea as clear as amber to the west, and difficult-to-climb mountains to the south. Only the north leads to the poor grasslands, from which one can cross into the hinterland of the Central Plains. But

Most people would not choose to take this route. Most people would take a water boat trip across the Yellow Sea and arrive at Hedaizhou in the Central Plains.

There is little vegetation on the rolling hills and canyons. Most of them are red soil and rocks out of the ground, which are very dry and hard. And somewhere in the leeward valley, there is a green lake, and there are gates and buildings beside the lake.

It is a small, off-the-beaten-path town.

On the clear lake, two women were rowing a boat, picking lotus seeds in the water, and they were talking by the way.

"The harvest of golden lotus in this pond is not good." A woman wearing a plain dress said. She had a hairpin stuck behind her long black hair. She was very beautiful and had a refined temperament that was far away from the world.

"There is nothing we can do about it, Sister Qingying. After all, the breath of dragon veins is getting less and less, and the lotus flowers in the water have also withered a lot." Another woman behind the boat spoke and smiled sweetly, and her appearance was even better than that of her companion at the front of the boat.

A certain level of enchantment.

"Sister Suqin seems to be still sleeping and hasn't gotten up to do anything." As she said this, the woman leaned on the side of the boat and gently moved her hands around the water, feeling a coolness and comfort.

"Would you like to go find her? Anyway, I think you are a little tired of staying here with me." The woman named Qingying on the bow of the boat said with a smile.

"Ah, actually, I'm a little afraid of Sister Suqin, because every time she catches me, she teaches me for a long time." The woman at the stern of the boat was a little discouraged.

"Haha, it wasn't because you were too naughty and caused trouble everywhere in the past that Suqin took special care of you."

"There's nothing I can do about it. My abilities are just like this. There's nothing I can do about attracting other people's attention."

"You should be able to control it well now." Qingying continued.

"Um."

"Then let's go and have a look. You might as well go out for some activities. The Red Tower Sword Fight is about to start recently, so it should be very lively in Luojing."

"Can I participate in the red tower sword fight?" The woman at the stern of the boat suddenly had an idea.

"This... Although Suqin didn't explicitly say that we couldn't participate, as a rule, we still don't disturb this kind of competition between mortals. After all, this is an opportunity that many people have never had in their lifetime." Qingying pressed his chin lightly.

Think back to previous experiences.

"That means I can go." The young woman at the stern of the boat became slightly excited.

Qingying shook his head helplessly, "It's not impossible for you to go, but you still have to be careful not to grab the limelight too much. Just give up when you're good and don't take the first place. In addition, it's best to have an identity and not be too sudden.

"…

"I know, let me think about which faction has a style similar to mine."

"Jinghua Shuiyue Sect, Red Dust Illusion Demonic Workshop, Tianxinliu Immortal Palace..."

"Let's just go to the 'Red Dust Magic House'. This one is more casual and matches your temperament." As they talked, they rowed the boat and gradually entered the depths of the lotus pond.

——

Half a year later, the sword fight in Red Tower ended, and the victors climbed Yuzhang Mountain to attend the feast of burning tail and transforming into a dragon.

"Who is the lady?"

"This is my invitation." A woman in black and white gauze took out a gorgeous invitation with her name and origin written on it.

"It turns out to be Miss Yin Miaoxin, I'm sorry." This woman who won the top spot in the Red Tower Sword Fight is now known to everyone in Luo Jing. This guard has also admired and respected her for a year, making the companions behind her let her down.

Make a way.

"Miss Yin Miaoxin, you can take the white jade dragon horse on the back mountain directly to the top of the mountain without having to trek hard." He continued to introduce patiently.

"Oh, can we just make a carriage and go there? I thought I was going to be like those students." Yin Miaoxin's eyes were watery, with a part smile and two part charm, which made the row of red scales at the foot of Yuzhang Mountain

The halberd guards couldn't move their eyes away.

"It's different. After all, the Chilou Sword Fight only happens once every ten years, and only the top few are chosen. There are naturally differences among those hundreds of students."

"Thank you." After saying that, Yin Miaoxin, led by the guards, went to the back mountain to take the carriage that went directly to the top of the mountain.
