Shi Mu put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room, looking restless.
In the past few days, he went to the branch of Tongtian Immortal Sect in Xicheng District more than once, hoping to see Ximen Xue, but he returned without success.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect who were guarding the door did not give any notice at all, and the guarding force here was much tighter than on the eve of the Immortal Welcome Conference, so his plan to sneak in alone was in vain.
"Boom! Boom!" Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
"Senior Sister Jin!" Shi Mu came outside the hospital and opened the door, then was startled.
The visitor has dark eyebrows and dark eyes, and her skin is extremely fair. Her plump figure is set off by a golden robe that makes people's hearts beat. Who else could it be if it wasn't Jin Xiaochai?
"Sister Jin, you are getting more and more beautiful!" At this moment, Cai'er the parrot landed on Jin Xiaochai's shoulder from mid-air.
"You little sycophant!" Jin Xiaochai stood still at the door, smiled and scolded the parrot, turned his hand and took out a few nuts.
"Sister Jin is better, unlike Shitou, who is so stingy." The parrot's eyes lit up and he ate all the nuts in a few mouthfuls.
"Junior Brother Shi, you really didn't disappoint me when you escaped from Zha Gu." Jin Xiaochai looked at Shi Mu at this time and said.
"If I hadn't been lucky, I might not have been able to see senior sister. Senior sister came to see me, could it be..." Shi Mu felt moved when he saw that Jin Xiaochai had no intention of coming in.
"Of course." Jin Xiaochai said.
"Where is she?" Shi Mu took a step forward and asked.
"If you want to see her, come with me immediately." Jin Xiaochai pursed her lips, turned and walked outside the inn.
"Follow me right away... oh!" Cai'er just yelled, but was immediately flicked on the head by Jin Xiaochai, and she immediately calmed down.
Shi Mu followed Jin Xiaochai closely, and the two quickly left the inn and headed in a certain direction in the city.
Not long after, the two arrived in front of the branch of the Immortal Sect in Xicheng District. Eight Tongtian Sect disciples wearing blue Bagua Taoist uniforms were guarding the foot of the mountain, and people walked back and forth around them from time to time.
Jin Xiaochai stepped forward and briefly negotiated with a gatekeeper disciple, and soon one of the disciples ran up the mountain.
After a stick of incense, the disciple ran out and nodded to Jin Xiaochai and the others.
Jin Xiaochai and Shi Mu hurriedly walked towards the mountain, and no one stopped them this time.
As soon as he entered the door, Jin Xiaochai led the way in a familiar manner. After turning around several buildings, he soon came to an exquisite small courtyard.
She walked over without hesitation and stopped at the courtyard door, which was already open.
"I won't go in. Don't forget our agreement." Jin Xiaochai hesitated and said.
Shi Mu nodded, glanced at Cai'er who was standing on Jin Xiaochai's shoulder, and entered the courtyard alone.
He soon discovered that a house directly opposite the courtyard door was completely bright. He immediately walked over, and when he entered the house, he realized that it was a living room.
The walls of the living room are inlaid with several egg-sized luminous stones, which emit a soft and bright light, illuminating the room.
The entire living room, except for a passage on the right, only has a dark brown round wooden table in the middle. There is a set of white tea sets on the table, and four beautifully carved brown seats surround the table. The rest is empty.
things.
"What fun did sister bring to me today?" At this moment, the sweet and sweet voice of Tianyin girl Ximen came from far in the passage.
A hint of excitement flashed in Shi Mu's eyes, and he turned to look in the direction of the passage.
Soon, Ximen Xue, dressed in white clothes, walked out of the passage. His shoulders seemed to be shaved off, his waist seemed to be plain, his cheeks were freshly peeled, his nose was greasy with goose fat, and his long black hair fell down like a waterfall from his shoulders to his waist.
At this moment, the soft light in the room shone in her clear eyes, like two stars.
As soon as she stepped into the house, she stopped and looked at Shi Mu. After a trace of surprise flashed across her face, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"Shi Mu, why is it you! Sit down quickly, where is Senior Sister Jin?"
Ximen Xue said, walked to the table, skillfully picked up the two teacups, picked up the teapot on the table, and started making tea.
"I asked Senior Sister Jin to bring me to see you alone." Shi Mu said, looking at Ximen Xue's busy figure intently.
"What are you standing for? Sit down. This is the tea I just made myself. Try it." Ximen Xue poured a cup of tea for Shi Mu and handed it over.
"The fragrance is sweet and leaves your lips and teeth fragrant. The senior sister made good tea." Shi Mu took the tea cup, sat down as he was told, took a sip, and praised it.
"This Biqin tea is a specialty of Wanlong Mountain. It was originally prepared for Senior Sister Jin. I never expected that a young martial arts disciple who had not seen each other for several years would actually condense into a Qi Palace. I learned this from Senior Sister Jin before.
You know, it really surprised me." After Ximen Xue poured herself a glass, she pulled out a chair and sat down.
"I..." Shi Mu's heart moved.
"Senior Sister Jin must have told you my name. I'm a few years older than you, so you can just call me Senior Sister. By the way, how did you escape from the Earth-Level Totem Warrior?" Ximen Xue said.
After Shi Mu finished speaking, he changed the subject and asked.
"I was able to escape from Nazaku this time because I got some opportunities in the barbarian secret realm before. It's just good luck... I won't have such luck next time I meet such an opponent. Speaking of which, I didn't have it back then.
If Senior Sister Xue comes to the rescue for the second time, I may have turned into a pile of bones long ago, and I have no chance to become an innate warrior." Shi Mu said.
"This is also God's will. It's a pity that you are a disciple of the Black Demon Sect. Otherwise, you might be able to participate in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony with me, and you might even be in the top three..." Ximen Xue said.
"Senior Sister Xue, I like you." Shi Mu interrupted Ximen Xue's next words, looked at the other party's starry eyes, and said seriously.
"...You should forget about me and what happened back then. I am determined to win this Immortal Ceremony." After Ximen Xue was silent for a moment, he spoke quietly.
Shi Mu was silent and Ximen Xue didn't know how to speak. The living room fell into silence for a while.
"Senior Sister Xue, after seeing you this time, will we have a chance to meet again in the future?" Shi Mu said after a long time.
"In a while, many candidate disciples will begin to retreat. The Immortal Sect has prepared elixirs and secret chambers in order to win over disciples who have a high chance of becoming immortals and make breakthroughs in the short term."
After Ximen Xue paused for a moment, he continued, with a little more determination in his eyes:
"In Dongzhou Continent, no matter how good your qualifications are, there is almost no chance of advancing to the heavenly position."
"How many heavens are there in the entire Dongzhou Continent?" Shi Muxuan touched the tea cup in his hand and suddenly asked.
"I don't know the exact number, but connecting with Taoist Wuchen, the leader of the Celestial Immortal Sect, and Situ Hao, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Great Qin Kingdom, there should be no more than five fingers of powerful people in the human race." Ximen Xue said.
"So few?" Shi Mu was a little surprised.
"The aura of Dongzhou Continent is limited, and the high-level skills inherited are also limited. Being able to become an Earth-level person is a one-in-a-million qualification, and you also need a very good opportunity. You have reached the innate realm at such a young age, and it is very possible to become an Earth-level person in this life.
.But do you just want to stop at the bottom of the earth? Then wait for your life span to run out?" Ximen Xue said.
"Of course not." Shi Mu said without hesitation.
"The Demonic Yang Ceremony of the Tianmo Sect is about to begin. Unfortunately, even if you take the Demonic Yang Pill, the chance of us meeting in the future is very slim... By the way, I have a Soul-Reinforcing Pill here, which will be of great use to you.
I originally sent someone to deliver it to you, but I didn't expect that you were no longer in the sect at that time." Ximen Xue said, the silver ring on his right hand flashed, he took out a jade box from it, and handed it to Shi Mu.
"Senior Sister Xue, you are about to ascend to immortality. Just keep it and take it directly." Shi Mu declined.
"I have taken one Soul-Reinforcing Pill, but it is no longer useful to me. Let's consider it as an exchange of Qingming Fruit with you. In fact, I took advantage of it. Take it!" Ximen Xue shook the jade box in his hand and said.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Xue." Shi Mu hesitated for a moment and then took it.
"Senior Sister Xue, I came to Tianyu City because I originally wanted to see you. Now I have forgotten it and have only one wish. Next, I will return to Tianmo Sect with Senior Sister Jin." Shi Mu said.
"Sister Jin brought you here, do you want you to persuade me not to participate in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony?" Ximen Xue suddenly asked.
"Yes, but now I know that you have made up your mind." Shi Mu said.
"She has always gone her own way and offended too many people. If anything happens to the ancestor of the Jin family in the future, Senior Sister Jin may...after I leave, please take care of Senior Sister Jin for me. With your talent, you will become a dark demon sooner or later.
The mainstay of the door." Ximen Xue sighed softly.
"Senior Sister Jin treats me well, and I will definitely protect her." Shi Mu nodded.
"Shi Mu, thank you. Let's go for a walk in the garden. You have just entered the innate realm. If you have any questions about cultivation, I can help you answer them. You don't know, senior sister, I am also a martial artist.
Double cultivation." Ximen Xue put down the teacup in her hand and stood up.
"Thank you, senior sister!" A look of surprise flashed across Shi Mu's face, and he stood up and said.
"Follow me." Ximen Xue floated and took the lead to walk towards the passage.
Shi Mu walked slowly behind Ximen Xue, staring at the other person's graceful back with a somewhat complicated expression.
Half an hour later, at the garden gate.
At this moment, it started to rain lightly, and the skirts of their clothes were already wet, but neither of them noticed it.
Ximen Xue's white clothes were completely attached to her body, making her body even more exquisite and undulating.
Although the night was gloomy, it had no effect on Shi Mu. As soon as his eyes touched Ximen Xue's body, his heart jumped and he immediately looked away.
"I really benefited a lot from what I heard from Senior Sister today. Senior Sister is truly worthy of being the genius of our Three Kingdoms and Seven Sects." Shi Mu said.
"Shi Mu, you are too humble. When senior sister is about your age, she will definitely not be able to escape in front of earth-level warriors." Ximen Xue said.
"Senior Sister Xue, stay here. I hope that Senior Sister will advance to the heavenly position as soon as possible." Shi Mu looked outside the courtyard door, turned around and cupped his hands.
"Shi Mu, see you again by fate... Don't forget what you promised me." Ximen Xue brushed the hair hanging down from her forehead and said with a sweet smile.
Shi Mu nodded, adjusted the knife and stick on his back, turned around resolutely, and walked out of the garden door step by step, his footprints bringing up a shower of rainwater.
Ximen Xue stood for a long time looking at Shi Mu's footprints that were extending into the distance and getting deeper and deeper.
I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly turned around, raised her right hand, as if wiping the rain off her face with her sleeve, then turned around and trotted away.
The feet as white and tender as snow fell alternately into the mud, splashing a piece of muddy water, and the graceful figure gradually disappeared in the rain...
