Chapter 4 Storms and Storms (4)
The next morning.
Li Changan went to Taiyuan Pavilion first, and after asking Ouyang Qian about Qu Lanling's temporary residence, he went to Xuantian Pavilion alone.
The land where Xuantian Pavilion is located is the largest of the nine lands, and its size is several times that of other flying lands. The Nine Heavens Sword Sect is headed by Xuantian Pavilion, and the nine lands are also centered on the land where Xuantian Pavilion is located, and it has a circular trajectory that remains unchanged over the years.
In the past few days, many cultivators who have been traveling abroad for many years and practice hard have returned to the sect to welcome the once-in-a-century swordsmanship. There are many people in Xuantian Pavilion, and the rooms of Xuantian Pavilion have already been filled. At this time, when the monks who come to the Ninetian Sword Sect to watch the ceremony, their residences can only be divided into other pavilions.
Xuantian Pavilion, at the gate where people come and go...
A young monk with a look of about 20 suddenly glanced at the busy gate at the gate that Yiwei had not seen for many years. He immediately ran over and said hello: "Uncle Xiaokang! You are back!"
The monk named Xie Xiaokang looked like a middle-aged man, with a slanted scar on his right face. He heard someone calling him and looked back. After seeing who it was, the monk who had left the sect for twenty years was relieved and smiled, "I haven't seen you for many years, Ajiu, your cultivation is getting deeper and deeper!"
Ajiu looked at Xie Xiaokang, who was decadent and much older, and said with some emotion: "How are you doing in the past few years, Master, uncle?"
Xie Xiaokang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. Life is a dream of void, and the youth is gone, but it's just a blink of an eye. Only the way of heaven is always there, and it's going to be repeated, without changing."
When Ajiu heard this, she said bitterly: "The days when you are not here, the eldest brother often talks about you to us when he is confused... Moreover, the senior brothers miss you very much."
Xie Xiaokang walked over and hugged Ajiu's shoulder, "Let's go! Let's go see them together."
Ajiu nodded and said, "Yes!"
These two people are both monks from Xuantian Pavilion, and Ajiu is Xie Xiaokang's nephew.
Xie Xiaokang is Chen Tianyuan's second junior brother, and he is also the second disciple of Tianjizi, the leader of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect. This person has a very high prestige in Xuantian Pavilion, second only to Tianjizi and Chen Tianyuan.
The scar on Xie Xiaokang's face was scratched in the Battle of the North; he was one of the dozens of people who came back by chance in that fierce battle; although Xie Xiaokang returned to the Nine Heavens Sword Sect alive, his sword path was damaged in that battle; therefore, he left the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and went out for a trip.
On the other side of the gate of Xuantian Pavilion, there were endless greetings...
A young monk greeted excitedly: "Isn't this Uncle He? When did you come back?"
The junior sister with a good appearance complained to the senior brother Returning: "Senior Brother Liu, why didn't you send a flying talisman to me after you returned to the sect? If the master hadn't told me that you were back from the sword tower, I wouldn't know; I still miss you so much!"
An old monk said to his old friend again: "Junior Brother Ma has been missing for many years, so we have to be drunk this time!"
Some junior sister also asked her senior brother: "Stern Brother, when you left the sect, did you bring the rouge you promised to me?"
Some old friends also teased him: "When you go out, why are your skin so dark? I'm very worried if you can find a Taoist partner!"
Also, the plain words from a lover who has not seen him for many years: "The master asked me to pick you up, and, over the years... I miss you very much..."
In the past few days, such scenes often appear in the Nine Heavens Sword Sect. Many monks who have been away from home have returned to the sect one after another. Because of the return of these monks, the sect, which was greatly damaged in the battle in the northern border, has regained its vitality.
In addition to the return of the monks who traveled to the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, many other sects also came to the appointment. The entire Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and all the monks from all over the world gathered in this sect outside the lonely pass.
Li Changan passed through the gate of Xuantian Pavilion and flew towards the house where Qu Lanling was located with his sword.
The houses in Xuantian Pavilion are complicated. Although there are Ouyang Qian's guidance, Li Changan searched for half an hour before finding Qu Lanling's room.
Li Changan stood at the door and knocked gently on the door.
"Who?" A woman's inquiry came from the yard.
"It's me."
"Who are you?" asked the person in the yard again.
Li Changan scratched his head. The sound in the yard was obviously not Qu Lanling's; he thought to himself: "Have you found the wrong place?" He turned his head and looked at the door sign. It was Jia Ninety-Seven, that's right! Li Changan murmured to himself: "Is it that Sister Ouyang said it wrong?"
Li Changan didn't want to go back to confirm with Ouyang Qian, so he asked the yard: "Ouyang Qian of Jiyang Sect, but here, my name is Li Changan, and she is her friend."
The woman in the yard said "Oh" and said, "She lives here, wait, I'll open the door for you now."
The one who opened the door was a girl wearing a scholar's robe. She should be about the same age as Qu Lanling, both at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
Li Changan asked, "Are you a fellow disciple of Qu Lanling?"
"No!" The young-looking girl shook her head and said, "My name is Ye Xiaochun, and she is from Qingli Academy."
Qingli Academy is also one of the eight top sects. The monks of this sect regard themselves as Confucian scholars and cultivate the Haoranqi, which is the most exotic sect in the Han Dynasty. The Haoranqi cultivated by the monks of Qingli Academy and the Haoran sword cultivated by the Haoran Pavilion of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect are the same, and the roots are both the same.
The monks at Qingli Academy were open-minded and focused on the moral cultivation of gentlemen, emphasized the complementary nature of benevolence and etiquette, attached importance to the five relationships and family ethics, advocated education and benevolent government, lighted taxes and reduced taxes, and tried to rebuild the order of rituals and music, changed customs, and safeguard the country and the people. They were the favorite sects of ordinary people and emperors in the Han Dynasty.
After Ye Xiaochun opened the door of Li Chang'an, he trotted two steps and shouted to the house on the right: "Miss Qu, someone is looking for him."
The room was a courtyard with three living rooms in the courtyard. Not long after Ye Xiaochun said that, two women holding hands walked out of the house on the right.
A person with a slender figure, white clothes and black hair, cold and clear hair, seemed to be able to see through everything, her fingers were slender, her skin was as white as a cream, and her long hair was drooping straight to her ankles, with a fairy-like temperament.
The other one was wearing a fiery red robe and looked petite and cute. His waist was slender, his limbs were slim, and under his thick eyelashes, he had big, beautiful eyes, charming and adorable. His slightly long bangs just reached his eyebrows, and he had half of his head of blue hair, leaving a few strands of blue threads in front of his ears.
It was really a meeting between mountains and rivers! The woman in white said to Li Changan: "Last year, you told me that you can come to Jiutian Sword Sect to find you; why do you seem a little unhappy when you see me now?"
Li Changan heard the woman in white and said, "Your Highness, I was shocked, not unhappy."
"What shocked you?" asked the woman in white.
"That's right, I'm shocked you to live here."
Li Yu glanced at Li Changan and said, "Because there are fewer female monks coming, only one or two in one sect; if female monks from one sect occupy a house, there will be many more empty rooms, so we can only make up the number."
Li Yu asked Li Changan: "By the way, why are you here?"
Li Changan couldn't say that he was here to explain what happened yesterday to Qu Lanling; he could only say, "I haven't seen you this year, and your cultivation has been much higher!"
Seeing that Li Changan was unwilling to say it, Li Yu did not continue to ask questions, but joked: "I can compare with you. I was in the middle stage of foundation building a year ago, and now I am the peak of the middle stage of foundation building. You were in the Qi Refining Stage at that time, and now you are almost surpassing me."
Qu Lanling felt a little happy when he saw Li Changan coming to find him, but he didn't want to show it in front of his friends. Listening to the conversation between Li Changan and Li Yu, it seemed that the two had met a year ago, so he asked, "Have Brother Changan met Sister Li Yu before?"
Li Yu let go of Qu Lanling's hand holding and said, "I happened to meet him when I was on the mission a year ago."
Li Changan looked at the intimate two people and asked curiously: "How did you two meet?"
Qu Lanling explained to Li Chang'an: "My martial arts are not suitable for practicing in Jiyang Sect, so I went to the Lotus Peak of Canglong Sect a year ago. Sister Li Yu was very nice to me and kept taking care of me."
...
Ye Xiaochun looked at the three people talking and couldn't get in. Seeing that the three people were finally a little distracted, she asked, "Didn't Miss Li say she wanted to go shopping together yesterday? When will we set off?"
The friendship between women is very strange. Li Yu has lived in the palace since she was a child, so she has few friends. She is cold by nature and has some reason to be friends with Qu Lanling. Moreover, Li Yu also likes Ye Xiaochun, who is usually serious from Qingli Academy, so she plans to make friends with Ye Xiaochun.
Li Yu smiled at the person he liked. She smiled at Ye Xiaochun and said, "I'm not very familiar with the Jiutian Sword Sect. It just so happened that Prince Li is here, so let him lead the way."
Hearing the three words "Prince Li", Li Changan said helplessly: "You should call me my name."
"Yes." Li Yu nodded, "Then don't call me Your Highness, Princess."
Li Changan first led the three of them to visit the sea of clouds in Liuyun Pavilion, and then he didn't know where to go. Although Li Changan had been to Jiutian Sword Sect for more than two years, when he was in Jiutian Sword Sect, he spent most of his time in seclusion and practiced rarely, so he knew not many people and places he had been to.
When Li Changan recalled that he had been to the place where he had been, except for the sword tomb of Zhujian Pavilion, there was only the sword tower of Yujian Pavilion; the sword tomb was a sect's access control area, so he naturally could not bring three people there, so he asked the three: "Have you ever seen the sword tower?"
All three women shook their heads.
Li Changan was familiar with the way to Jianta. He slapped his thigh and said, "Then let's go to Yujian Pavilion! There is a very high sword tower there, I'll take you to see it."
