Xuan Ye looked at Jiang Ningyue with a sad face, and sighed silently, "Senior sister...take care." Immediately, he flew up and left Xiaozhu Peak.
As soon as I arrived at the clouds and mist, I saw the old figure of Kui Lao. This incident must have dealt a heavy blow to the old man.
"Teacher," Xuan Ye shouted in a low voice.
Mr. Kui did not respond. The two stood in the clouds and were silent for a long time. It was not until a gust of wind blew that the old man turned around.
Xuan Ye saw that his eyes were rosy and thought that he had something to hide, so he lowered his head silently.
"You shouldn't know about her mentor, right?"
Faced with the question, Xuan Ye didn't know how to answer. After all, he had some guesses, so he couldn't say he didn't know anything.
But this silence, in the heart of Mr. Kui, is another kind of deception. "I have worked so hard to teach you, and you are going to work with outsiders to deceive me! Okay! Hahaha..."
"The disciple doesn't know what happened, but he just feels that the senior sister is not that kind of vicious person."
"What do you know?" Mr. Kui glared angrily, "People's hearts are separated from each other. How can you let someone who really wants to harm you see it?"
"I had the same idea as the teacher at the beginning, but these days, senior sister has been with you all the time, what can she do? Do you really think she will harm you?"
"She's not hurting me, she's trying to hurt you! She's trying to make you fall short at the Genting Gala!" Mr. Kui frowned, looking like he hated iron.
Then he covered his heart that was panting violently, and after he calmed down a little, he said: "No need to say more, let's go down the mountain!"
"Going down the mountain? Now?" Xuan Ye said in shock.
"If you don't want to leave, I can't force you. This is a deal between you and me. At worst, I'll go back to the library and wait for a hundred years."
Yes, in this transaction, as long as Xuan Ye is willing, he can abandon Kui Lao at any time, but he just can't learn the Fire God's refining.
But since he has agreed to rectify his name at the Genting Gala, he will definitely continue on.
At the same time, it is also for myself, so that I can go further on the road of weapon refining. After all, there are not many people who can be recognized by Lord Ding.
Xuan Ye lowered his head slightly and asked doubtfully: "Disciple doesn't dare, but didn't the teacher tell me not to go down the mountain?"
"Don't worry, I have my own way to protect you, and this mountain won't be of much help to you in practicing the Burning Fire God. If you hadn't agreed to go fishing... huh, bad luck! Come down the mountain!" After Kui Lao finished speaking, he stepped on the clouds and left.
Xuan Ye looked back and followed closely.
The master and the apprentice stepped on the fairy light, crossed the river on the rope, and headed east.
Not far from the mountain, Mr. Kui took out something to help Xuan Ye change his appearance and body shape. If you weren't familiar with it, you really wouldn't be able to tell.
Xuan Ye, who had changed into a bearded face and a fat belly, adjusted to his new body and asked: "Teacher, where are we going?"
"Rizhao Valley, where the fire spirit is the most prosperous, is the most suitable place to control the fire god's refining."
Within half a day, the two came to a small town hidden in the mountains.
Mr. Kui arrived at one of the houses by a familiar route. He handed an old man a piece of gold and something like a bill at the door, and then took Xuan Ye down to the cellar nearby.
The cellar was dark, cold, and had an unspeakable stench.
Not far away, Xuan Ye heard a "chirp" sound in his ears, and looked intently. A red light lit up in the darkness, and a very faint evil aura came.
Mr. Kui seemed not to be surprised, so he stepped forward and handed over a piece of gold to the other one. "If you two go to Rizhao Valley, the faster one will come."
The man didn't say anything, and walked inside with an oil lamp. After half a stick of incense, he stopped and pointed to the iron cage on one side. "Do you understand the rules? When you get there, open the food to it.
.”
Mr. Kui nodded and walked into the iron cage first.
Xuan Ye followed closely behind and stepped into the cage, only to find that his feet felt extremely soft, not like stepping on the ground. Looking down, he saw that they were like manes.
"Sit tight, you may be a little shaken for a while, but this method saves much effort than rushing by yourself." Mr. Kui reminded.
As soon as Xuan Ye sat down, he heard the sound of gears turning, the skylight above his head opened, and light penetrated.
"Ho? Ho-"
He looked around and saw that the person sitting under him was actually a bird and beast.
This bird's neck is extremely long, like a snake's neck, and its head is different from ordinary birds, more like a dog or a wolf.
As their wings flapped, the birds and beasts soared into the sky, straight into the sky. After a while, they broke through the clouds and came into the clear night sky.
This feeling is very different from the birds in "Qian Ling Ce", and more wild.
Although it was a bit bumpy, Xuan Ye did not reject it, but felt a sense of adventure.
"If you're tired, take a rest. We still have one day to reach Rizhao Valley."
The night was very quiet, except for the sound of wind, there was nothing else.
Looking at Kui Lao's back, Xuan Ye didn't know what to say. Everything was fine at first, but suddenly it became like this.
"Are you curious why I know about her mentor?" Mr. Kui looked at the dark night, his eyes gradually becoming cloudy.
Xuan Ye was also curious, who would specifically say these words to Mr. Kui? It couldn't be Feng Changhe. Several people flashed through his mind, all of them were elders present that day, but Ming Ming could only shake his head, "Disciple, I don't know.
"
"Lu Zhao, you should know him, right? He said that you severely injured his apprentice, but is it true?"
Xuan Ye thought of that old Sharpei face, suddenly realized, and secretly made a note in his mind. "It is indeed true."
"Did that girl instigate it?"
"No, the disciple also had a grudge against him. He also lost a bet that day and wanted to attack the disciple. He had no choice but to cripple one of his arms."
When Mr. Kui heard this, he smiled instead of being angry, "Okay, okay, that stingy man was defeated by me a hundred years ago, and now his apprentice was defeated by my apprentice again, and it ended in the same embarrassment. Tell me about that day.
What happened, who else went?"
Xuan Ye could only tell everything about the gambling and fighting that day.
After hearing this, Mr. Kui couldn't help but laugh, "No wonder that villain blocked me on the way to Qingqiong Hall. You really gave me a lot of face."
"Since the teacher thinks he did it on purpose, why do he still get angry at senior sister?" Xuan Ye asked.
"Lu Zhao had ulterior motives, but those words are not the truth? That girl, you still lied to me!" Compared to the daytime, Mr. Kui was much calmer, but there was still a little anger in his tone.
Xuan Ye was silent. As a junior, he shouldn't ask too much about the past. But things have reached this point, and there is no way he can stay out of it. Maybe this Genting event has other meanings for Mr. Kui.
"Why do you hate senior sister's mentor so much? Is it because you were betrayed by him?"
Mr. Kui snorted coldly and said nothing.
Except for the sound of wind, silence returned to my ears again.
Xuan Ye looked towards the horizon, and there seemed to be a faint light, just like the white fish belly that appeared when dawn was about to come. He thought that it would not be dawn so soon.
When I got closer, I found that the light moved again, and a black line began to appear in front of me. As time passed, the line became wider and wider, as dark as ink.
"This is... the sea?" Xuan Ye asked in shock.
"That's right, to the east of Dongzhou is the sea, and Rizhao Valley is hidden in the sea. This is what I found after reading many scriptures and spending half a year overseas."
When Xuan Ye was browsing in the bookstore, he also saw that Dongzhou is close to the sea and there are floating islands hundreds of miles out to the sea.
Rumor has it that beyond the floating islands, there is a wider sea area, but there is no map that can record the boundaries.
After flying out to sea for nearly a day, finally at dusk, a touch of red appeared in the unchanging blue.
Soon, a peak floated up from the sea. From a distance, it looked like a rosy red high hat, dotted with some green patterns.
At dusk, the sea water sparkles, and the exposed red rocks become a bit darker, giving it a more vigorous and majestic feeling.
To say that this is an island, it is better to say that it is more like an extremely huge pillar, but there is no reference in the sea, so the size cannot be highlighted.
According to Xuanye's visual inspection, it is at least as big as the main peak of Xuantian Temple, but it is not as big as the mountain and does not have such an obvious slope.
"Sure enough, the world is so big and full of wonders."
Xuan Ye thought to himself that the bird and beast had landed at the top, roaring lowly, obviously very tired.
Kui Lao stepped forward, cut open the bag carried by the bird and beast, and let two pieces of rotten flesh fall out. Then he turned to Xuan Ye and said, "Let's go, we are still some way away from our destination.
"
Xuan Ye took one last look at the birds and beasts eating meat and the sea, then turned to follow Mr. Kui.
The master and the apprentice went all the way down from the top of the mountain and found a cave near the waist and abdomen as a resting place.
"I'm tired from traveling. Let's have a good rest tonight and start practicing again tomorrow." After Kui Lao finished speaking, he lay down. After a while, he seemed to have remembered something and added another sentence. "It will be a little noisy at night, so don't panic.
, just some sea beasts, no danger."
Xuan Ye was not too tired, so he agreed, lit a bonfire at the edge of the cave, and began to meditate.
Late at night, a low roar brought him back to his senses.
This sound is like a trumpet, echoing between heaven and earth.
Xuan Ye looked intently, and saw that the sea was calm and calm, and there was nothing but darkness. But the deep roar came from this endless darkness.
He could not imagine what kind of behemoths were hidden under this extremely deep seabed.
After a long time, the roar not only did not stop, but became more angry, and the mountain began to shake slightly.
"Could it be that it's hitting a mountain?" Xuan Ye was startled. As expected, a monster that could hit a mountain was lurking on the bottom of the sea!
He looked back and saw that Mr. Kui was still sleeping soundly, as if nothing had happened.
He remembered what Mr. Kui had said before going to bed and felt that the shaking was not very strong. He shook his head and simply ignored it and continued to meditate.
Early the next morning, Xuan Ye woke up from meditation and saw Mr. Kui already sitting by the fire, cooking something in an earthen pot.
"How's it going? Did I scare you last night?" Kui Lao asked with a smile.
Xuan Ye thought about it, then looked at the calm sea, and asked in a solemn voice: "Is there really a giant beast hidden under the sea?"
Seeing Mr. Kui nodding, he asked again: "Why did it hit the mountain?"
"Silly boy, what it hit was not a mountain, but a barrier on the seabed. A barrier used to block the outside world in the sea!"
