Time flew by and the appointed day arrived in a blink of an eye.
That evening, outside the Menghua Sect, a ray of light came through the sky, it was Bai Qingruo.
She looked far away in mid-air and saw only twos and threes of escaping lights flying from different directions, and finally landed outside the mountain gate of Menghua Sect.
These people come from all walks of life and dress differently, but they all have smiles on their faces.
Ling Xuan stood at the door of the sect.
She led a group of disciples to meet him outside the sect, greeted all the acquaintances one by one, and sent someone to lead them to the mountain.
Seeing this scene, Bai Qingruo relaxed a lot and secretly thought in his heart:
"It turns out that Sect Master Ling not only invited me, but also monks from all sects... I guess today is the most festive day for Menghua Sect. Sect Master Ling also has good intentions, but I treat it with a villain's heart.
The belly of a gentleman."
Thinking of this, Bai Qingruo felt slightly ashamed and pressed down the escape light from mid-air.
Ling Xuan saw her from a distance and immediately came over: "Good sister, why are you here? The flower viewing party has already started."
Bai Qingruo showed a hint of apology: "The establishment of the sect is about to happen, and there are many trivial matters, so the time is wasted. Now... isn't it too late?"
"It's not too late, not too late." Ling Xuan chuckled.
She noticed that Bai Qingruo's attitude had changed, and he was no longer as reclusive as before.
This change was a bit of an unexpected surprise for Ling Xuan, and she felt more confident about today's layout.
"Lingmeng Flower Sea will open soon. Sister, follow me up the mountain."
Ling Xuan said, took Bai Qingruo's hand and led her up the mountain.
This time, Bai Qingruo didn't break free.
It can be said that Ling Xuan can indeed understand people's hearts. In just a few words, she got closer to Bai Qingruo.
In a short stretch of mountain road, the two of them went from being polite and polite at the beginning to talking and laughing at the end, and there was no longer the previous barrier.
"...It turns out that the place where my sister used to live was full of women. This is really strange."
Ling Xuan covered her mouth and smiled, and then said: "Although I am the leader of a sect, I rarely leave the Yunmeng Mountains. This Dongyun Lingzhou is vast and boundless. I didn't expect there to be such a strange woman like my sister."
"Sect Master Ling, thank you very much." Bai Qingruo smiled lightly.
While talking and laughing, the two of them turned a corner and suddenly felt a fragrant breeze blowing towards their faces.
Bai Qingruo looked around and saw a vast ocean in front of him.
There are wonderful flowers floating in mid-air on the sea, shaped like fairy robes fluttering, with petals layered on top of each other, like lightly dancing tulle, and like agile wings.
The color of the flowers is like dreamy purple clouds, erratic, elegant yet mysterious...
"This is 'Reimu Yutan'?"
Bai Qingruo's eyes lit up and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
In fact, Lingxuan didn't need to answer, she had already guessed the answer.
"This flower is indeed rare and beautiful in the world. No wonder so many people come to Menghua Sect..." Bai Qingruo murmured to himself.
She has always loved beauty and has a great affinity for beautiful things. When she saw this vast sea of flowers, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and she became much closer to Ling Xuan.
"How could I lie to my sister?"
Ling Xuan smiled brightly, took Bai Qingruo's arm, and pointed with her hand.
I saw ripples on the sea surface, and after a while, a small boat floated up from the bottom of the sea.
This boat is very strange. It looks like a lotus and is so fresh and green. I don’t know what materials it is made of.
"Sister, it's still early today, why don't you go boating with me in the sea of flowers and enjoy the beautiful scenery together?" Ling Xuan sent an invitation to her.
"That's fine."
Bai Qingruo readily agreed and boarded the boat with Ling Xuan.
The two women went boating and swam, and saw the vast and colorful sea of flowers. Countless "Lingmeng Youtan" flowers were floating on the sea, forming "flower walls" of various sizes.
These "flower walls" divide the sea surface and block spiritual consciousness, like a huge maze on the sea.
Of course, it is not difficult for Bai Qingruo's spiritual consciousness to penetrate these "flower walls", but at this moment, her mind is already intoxicated and she is too lazy to spread her spiritual consciousness.
"Lingmeng Youtan is like a dream... This place is like a scene in a dream. I have never seen such a beautiful scenery." Bai Qingruo said sincerely.
Lingxuan smiled slightly: "This 'Lingmeng Youtan' is a specialty of our Menghua sect. It only blooms once every hundred years! At night, when the moonlight falls on the flower buds, a kind of nectar called 'Century Dream' can be produced.
The fairy wine brewed from this nectar will never be forgotten once my sister takes a sip."
"Then I want to give it a try." Bai Qingruo said with a sweet smile.
During the conversation, the boat swayed and entered the depths of the sea of flowers.
I could see the breeze blowing, petals falling, clouds and mist lingering on the sea, and occasionally people passing by in boats. When they saw Ling Xuan, they all smiled and nodded in greeting.
"These are all elders or elite disciples from various sects."
Ling Xuan introduced the origins of these people to Bai Qingruo, and then added: "If your Wushuang Sword Sect wants to establish a sect in the Yunmeng Mountains, you must find ways to make good friends with these sects, otherwise it will be difficult to do so."
After hearing this, Bai Qingruo just smiled and said nothing.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Ling Xuan cursed in her heart, but she remained enthusiastic on the outside.
"Sister Bai, don't blame me for talking too much. I know your teacher must be a capable person... It's just that there are so many masters in this million-mile Yunmeng Mountain Range! Of course he can ignore a sect like Menghua Sect.
There are many sects here, but there are still many sects where Ancestor Huajie is in charge, so we should not act too openly, we must keep a low profile."
After hearing this, Bai Qingruo said calmly: "Thank you so much, Master Ling, for your kind reminder. My teacher has his own sense of discretion and doesn't need me, a disciple, to comment."
Ling Xuan chuckled: "That's right. My sister made a mistake. Today we will only enjoy the flowers and not talk about anything else."
Bai Qingruo smiled and nodded.
The two women continued to swim in the boat, and gradually reached the depths of the sea of flowers... I don't know when, there were more and more "flower walls" around them, as if they were entering a narrow river.
While talking and laughing, the lotus leaf boat passed through a flower wall.
But at this moment, another lotus leaf boat came from the opposite direction. The two sides met unexpectedly, and the front ends of the boat lightly collided with each other.
"Huh?"
Bai Qingruo was a little surprised and looked up.
I saw a young man sitting on the boat opposite. He had dark eyebrows and was extremely handsome. He was wearing a plain robe and was dressed very simply.
He had a vague sense of swordsmanship on his body, and he was obviously a swordsman, which attracted Bai Qingruo to look at him a few more times.
Ling Xuan secretly observed Bai Qingruo's reaction, and at the same time looked at the man opposite, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Yan, why are you running rampant in the sea of flowers, disturbing my sister and I's enjoyment for no reason."
The man was polite, stood up and offered his hands to the two girls: "The young man was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of 'Lingmeng Youtan', so he simply let the boat float on the sea... I didn't expect that I would offend the beautiful lady, and I feel really sorry."
"That's it." Before Bai Qingruo could say anything, Ling Xuan smiled and said, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Yan to be such a casual person. We met here by chance. It can be regarded as a fate."
"I wonder who this fairy is..." The man looked at Bai Qingruo.
"Bai Qingruo, a monk from outside Yunmeng Mountain, arrived here only half a month ago."
After Ling Xuan finished speaking, she introduced to Bai Qingruo: "His name is Yan Gui. He is a casual cultivator who uses his sword to prove the Tao. He is also a monk from outside Yunmeng Mountain. He traveled here three years ago and built a cave here.
"
"Fellow Daoist Yan, nice to meet you." Bai Qingruo nodded to the other party.
Her first impression of this person was good, especially the identity of "casual cultivator", which reminded her of Liang Yan.
How difficult is the path of sword cultivation? If you have no one to guide you and just explore by yourself, you will take many detours. Many people will spend their entire lives unable to reach the Jianwan Realm, let alone the Sword Infant Realm and the Sword Heart Realm...
Therefore, the identity of "casual cultivator swordsman" made Bai Qingruo have a better impression of this person.
Yanguiren smiled slightly, looked Bai Qingruo up and down with clear eyes, and suddenly asked: "Excuse me for being presumptuous, but it seems that Fairy Bai is also a sword cultivator?"
Bai Qingruo's face was indifferent: "If you don't dare to be a fairy, just call me Taoist friend. As for your question just now... yes, I am also a sword cultivator."
"Very good."
Yan Guiren's eyes showed joy: "Most of our swordsmanship monks walk alone, but today I finally met a fellow monk. Can I invite my fellow monks to enjoy the flowers and discuss swordsmanship together?"
"sure!"
Before Bai Qingruo could speak, Ling Xuan rushed to say: "I have prepared several jars of 'Century Dreams'. Let's find a place to drink, admire flowers, and talk about Taoism. Wouldn't it be nice?"
"This..." Bai Qingruo frowned slightly, looking a little hesitant.
Ling Xuan immediately took her arm and said with a smile: "Sister, it's still early and there's nothing else to do. Why don't you stay and drink and enjoy the flowers, so as to live up to the beauty of this beautiful time. Besides, this Young Master Yan is also a swordsman prodigy, and with him
Maybe you can gain something by communicating.”
After Bai Qingruo heard this, his heart moved.
"Before I came here, I heard from the teacher that Dongyun Lingzhou is the birthplace of sword cultivators, but it has been a while since I came here and I haven't seen any other sword cultivators. It would be better to see what kind of swordsmanship this person practices, and it would be easier to do it.
A confirmation.”
Thinking of this, Bai Qingruo smiled lightly: "Just listen to Sect Master Ling, let's find a place to drink and discuss Taoism."
"Not far from here, there is a 'Flower Sea Villa'. I will take you there."
Ling Xuan smiled slightly and led Bai Qingruo and Yan Guiren to the south. After passing through layers of flower walls, they saw a pavilion in the distance.
The pavilion is suspended on the sea, carved from white jade, and exudes a warm brilliance.
The corners of the eaves were slightly raised, and twelve strings of crystal clear wind chimes were hung. As the sea breeze blew by, the wind chimes swayed gently, playing melodious and beautiful music.
"This place is quite unique." Yan Guiren nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Ling Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, docked the boat outside, and led the two of them into the "Flower Sea Villa".
There is a stone table and several plates of spiritual fruits here.
Ling Xuan waved her sleeves and placed a jar of fine wine and a three-month glass cup on the table.
"Please take a seat."
The three of them took their seats.
I heard Ling Xuan laugh and say: "Tonight there are beautiful flowers, full moon, and beautiful scenery. It is truly a blessing to be able to discuss Taoism with two Taoist friends here... This little girl is not talented, so I would like to propose a toast to these two sword immortals."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, with a hint of blush on his pretty face, which made him look particularly charming.
Yanguiren raised his glass with a smile and glanced at Bai Qingruo: "Fairy, please!"
Faced with the kind invitation from the two of them, Bai Qingruo couldn't refuse.
She picked up the wine glass and checked it with her consciousness, but found nothing wrong.
"Qingruo, if you can't bear the strength of the wine, just drink this glass to help you feel refreshed." After Bai Qingruo finished speaking, he clinked glasses with Yan Guiren across the air, raised his head and drank the wine.
"Happy!"
Yan Guiren put down his wine glass and laughed loudly: "Since I set foot on the road of swordsmanship, I have experienced countless hardships, and it is rare that I can relax like this. This 'hundred-year dream' fruit is extraordinary, with a mellow taste and a long aftertaste.
It’s really a rare celestial wine!”
After hearing this, Bai Qingruo said seriously: "The road to sword cultivation has always been full of hardships. Sword cultivators like us must not be greedy for pleasure. We must work hard and make progress."
"Well, what the fairy said is absolutely true."
Yan Guiren nodded, with admiration in his eyes: "By the way, I wonder where the Fairy Master came from, and why he came to the Yunmeng Mountains?"
Bai Qingruo thought for a moment and replied: "I am a disciple of the Wushuang Sword Sect, but this sect has not been officially established yet... As for why I came to the Yunmeng Mountains, it may be because the teacher wants to establish the sect here.
"
"Unparalleled Sword Sect?" Yan Guiren raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "This name is really overbearing. I guess your master is not an ordinary person."
Although he said this, there was a hint of sarcasm hidden in his eyes. Unfortunately, Bai Qingruo's insight was not sharp enough and he did not capture the true thoughts revealed in his eyes.
Bai Qingruo couldn't help but feel happy to receive the praise from Yan Guiren. He nodded slightly and said, "Master's swordsmanship is unparalleled in ancient and modern times. However, he often said that rocks from other mountains can attack jade, and he also wants to see the swordsmanship of the world's heroes."
These words are a bit revealing. If you are a keen person, you will immediately become suspicious, and you may be able to guess that her teacher is not a monk from Dongyun Lingzhou.
But at this moment, Yan Guiren's thoughts were all on Bai Qingruo, and he was dismissive of her so-called "teacher". Who would have noticed this.
"You are indeed a wonderful person! The unique coldness and aloofness of sword cultivators, coupled with that gentle aura, are simply a natural beauty! Even our Huan Yu Sword Sect does not have such beauties, let alone Yunmengshan's.
Those rouges are so popular..."
Thinking of this, Yan Guiren's heart became even hotter, and he wished he could take Bai Qingruo as his own right away.
But he was able to keep his composure and especially enjoyed the process.
"Fairy Bai is right. Stones from other mountains can attack jade. We are destined to meet here today. Why don't we take a look at each other's swordsmanship and confirm what we have learned?" Yan Guiren said while shaking his folding fan.
Looks personable.
"That's fine."
Bai Qingruo nodded. In fact, she had this in mind when she agreed to come to drink.
Yan Guiren smiled slightly, put away the folding fan, and stood up from his seat.
"Fairy Bai, Sect Leader Ling, I've made a fool of myself."
