The island has rugged rocks, and the towering rocks look like the fangs of some kind of beast, reaching into the clouds. A red full moon hangs in the distant sky, and the entire island is shrouded in a dark red night, giving it a desolate feel.

It was also charmingly beautiful. The weather was clear and cloudless, as if it was completely different from the storm we just encountered.

Ling Huayin suddenly found that the gourd she was carrying was missing, and she quickly asked Situ Yan: "Have you seen E Luo?"

Situ Yan took out the piano and played it a few times, and the sound of the piano immediately floated into the distance. After a while, he said: "There is no response to the sound of my piano. It should be dispersed by the turbulence here, but Miss Eluo should

Also fell on this island."

"Let's go find her." Ling Huayin quickly straightened her clothes and stood up from the ground.

Fortunately, there was only one road here, so the two of them walked along the top.

Ling Huayin looked at the figure in front of her and asked, "Situ Yan, you were in the water just now. Didn't you see anything?"

"It's just a few vague fragments that flashed through, I can't remember clearly. I think this water can evoke all the memories deep in people's hearts, but I really forgot them too completely, and those fragments don't do much to retrieve my memories."

Useful." Situ Yan said as he walked, as if he wasn't very concerned about what was going on in the river.

However, Ling Huayin was very concerned about this and asked: "What did you see?"

"Well... I saw a plum blossom forest. It was not the place where I used to live. There seemed to be a man." Situ Yan thought about the fragments he saw in the water just now.

"Man? What kind of man is he?"

"A man in a black robe." Situ Yan stopped, spread his hands, and guessed: "Maybe he is someone I have met before."

Ling Huayin couldn't help but be a little disappointed, thinking that she could learn more meaningful things from Situ Yan, but Situ Yan couldn't remember anything. She couldn't help but start to wonder if Situ Yan hadn't told her the complete truth.

The two walked for a while and heard the sound of vomiting not far ahead. Ling Huayin and Situ Yan looked at each other and hurriedly ran forward to take a look. Behind a rock, they saw E Luo holding the rock with one hand.

He couldn't stop vomiting wildly.

Situ Yan didn't seem to be able to see this scene. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve and stopped moving forward. With the other hand, he motioned to Ling Huayin to go up.

Ling Huayin quickly stepped forward to express concern: "Eluo, how are you?"

E Luo couldn't help but make another sound of vomiting. After vomiting, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, threw it on the ground in disgust, and replied weakly: "Although the Nightmare can fly, it only flies at low altitude, so I don't think it's okay."

What, it’s really too much to bear when we reach a high altitude. We also encountered a whirlwind, which made my aunt and I dizzy. And just now, a good-looking man persuaded me to follow him, saying that if I followed him, I would have ‘meat’ to eat.

I sent him away, saying that I would rather follow you as a vegetarian than eat his food."

Ling Huayin looked around after hearing this and asked doubtfully: "But it doesn't seem like there is anyone here? Are you sure someone is passing by?"

Er Luo said with certainty: "I'm sure, I'm sure, plus I'm sure, I even vomited all over him, and he ran away."

Ling Huayin suddenly felt a headache and couldn't help but press her temples. She looked at Situ Yan again and saw Situ Yan's eyebrows furrowed in thought.

E Luo glanced at Ling Huayin and Situ Yan who were all soaked, and asked: "By the way, why do you two look like this?"

Ling Huayin said helplessly: "We fell into the water. Let's find the exit first and talk as we walk."

"What exactly is this place?" E Luo couldn't help but ask, looking at the strange stone walls everywhere.

Situ Yan looked at the sky in the distance and said: "Look at the red moon in the sky, this should be the Moon-Watching Island. This storm came very strangely. It doesn't look like a natural phenomenon, but seems to be man-made."

Ling Huayin glanced at him and already knew what was going on. She lowered her head and said nothing.

They walked along a road up the hillside, and when they reached the top, they saw the little Taoist priest who greeted them waiting there with a big smile. This person was also the ancestor of Master Linghuayin.

, Eluo didn't dare to vent her anger.

The little Taoist priest bowed politely to them and said apologetically: "Thank you for your hard work, you three, for coming all the way. This is the test that Master has given you. It frightened you three. I'm really sorry, but congratulations to you three for passing it."

Master’s first test.”

Situ Yan smiled and asked with interest: "What is the second level?"

The little Taoist priest smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I will take three of you to meet the master first. Please come here." After that, the little Taoist priest led them into a large courtyard.

Entering a hall where incense was lit, they saw a man in blue in front of him who was finishing lighting a stick of incense and turned around. The three of them took a look and saw that although this man had white hair on his temples, he had a slender expression.

His eyes were sharp and majestic. Ling Huayin knew in her heart that this person was the Master Gao Mang mentioned by her master. When she saw this respected elder for the first time, Ling Huayin felt a little uneasy and did not dare to act carelessly.

say.

The little Taoist priest bowed respectfully to the man and said, "Master, I have brought the three of them here."

Immortal Gao Mang nodded, showed no anger, and walked forward with a solemn expression. Ling Huayin hurriedly saluted him and said respectfully: "Disciple Ling Huayin pays homage to Master Gao Mang."

Situ Yan and E Luo also each bowed politely.

Immortal Gaomang glanced at Ling Huayin and just nodded. Then his eyes moved to Situ Yan, one of the other two people. Ling Huayin quickly introduced him: "Master, these two are my friends, Situ Yan."

Yan and Eluo."

"Well. I already know the purpose of you coming here, but the Sea of ​​No Return is not a place that everyone can go to. Some people once went there to satisfy their selfish desires, and ended up being trapped in the illusion of the phantom realm and never returned.

If you don't come, are you really going to take the risk?" Immortal Gao Mang asked.

"Master, we had already made plans before we came here. If we don't find Bai Yi, we won't leave easily. Please tell us how to enter the Sea of ​​No Return," Ling Huayin said.

Immortal Gaomang glanced at the three of them indifferently, unmoved, "There is determination, but determination alone is not enough. Although you have passed the first level just now, you still have to pass my second test.

That’s all.”

"I wonder what the second test is for seniors?" Situ Yan asked.

Immortal Gao Mang pointed his sharp eyes at the harp on Situ Yan's back, and replied: "The second test is for you and me to play a song together on the harp and flute. If you can catch it, you will win, and you can enter the Sea of ​​No Return; if you can catch it, you will win."

If you don’t win, you will lose and you will leave.”

As soon as these words came out, both Ling Huayin and E Luo were a little surprised, but Situ Yan smiled calmly and said: "I am overjoyed to be able to play with my seniors. When will we start?"

"Situ Yan." Ling Huayin still didn't know the strength of this master, so she was a little worried about Situ Yan.

But Situ Yan seemed to be looking forward to this test, with a confident attitude.

"Yun Qing, take a few guests to change into clean clothes first." Immortal Gaomang told the little Taoist priest who had just brought them in.

"Yes, Master."

After receiving the order, the little Taoist priest led them to the guest room in the backyard. E Luo looked left and right, and suddenly asked: "This little Taoist priest, where are the other people on your island?"

The little Taoist priest replied: "On the Moon-Watching Island, there are only two of us, Master and me, and no one else."

"Ah? Then what I saw just now..."

The Taoist priest covered his mouth and smiled, probably knowing what had just happened, and said: "Master is actually testing you just now to see if you can stick to your heart and not be disturbed by external objects. Everyone, please wait here for a moment.

, I'll get the clothes."

Watching the little Taoist priest leave, E Luo couldn't help but murmured softly: "Ling Huayin, your master also has a habit of teasing people."

Ling Huayin glared at E Luo and signaled her not to talk nonsense.

After they changed their clothes, Immortal Gaomang was already waiting in the front yard, holding a flute in his hand.

"Are you ready?" Immortal Gaomang asked.

Situ Yan smiled and replied: "Ready. Senior, please." After saying that, he sat on the edge of the piano table, unhurriedly, with an elegant smile on his lips.

Situ Yan was quite confident in his piano skills, but Ling Huayin was worried about him. She sat aside and stared intently at the two people who were about to play together.

Without the music score, it is not easy to recognize the music based on the sound of the flute, and then play the flute to echo the sound of the flute. However, as soon as the sound of the flute starts, a moment later, the sound of the piano is also included in the sound of the flute. Just listen to the flute.

The sound is quiet and melodious, and the sound of the piano is also soft and elegant, like a question and answer, the piano and flute are playing together, and it is very harmonious and beautiful when you come and go. The sound of the piano is like the mist of clouds and the ripples of flowing water. The sound of the flute is like the arrival of wild geese.

In the prelude, the geese are flying in harmony. Suddenly, the sound of the flute is suddenly high-pitched, and the clouds are rising straight up. At first, the sound of the piano is still gentle, and then it makes a sonorous sound, like cracking brocade, which seems to have the meaning of decision. The sound of the piano points directly to the sky, and the sound is like

The pine wind roars. The two tones are high and low, complex and changing, with cadences and ups and downs, which makes people feel excited when listening to it.

Ling Huayin felt so excited that she couldn't help but stand up. Immortal Gaomang's forehead was already dripping with sweat. Looking at Situ Yan, he still looked as usual, calm and elegant, as if he was immersed in the music of the piano and flute.

I could only hear the sound of the flute slowly, then suddenly, and the sound of the piano stopped. For a moment, there was silence all around, except for the red moon in the sky.

"Your name is Situ Yan?" Immortal Gaomang stepped forward and asked.

Situ Yan hugged the qin and replied: "Exactly."

"You have won today. According to what I said before, you can enter the Sea of ​​No Return." Immortal Gaomang immediately fulfilled his previous promise without saying a word.

Ling Huayin cast a delighted look at Situ Yan, and then said to Immortal Gaomang: "Thank you, Master."

Immortal Gaomang said again: "But before entering the Sea of ​​No Return, I have something to tell you. Linghua, you come with me."

Ling Huayin glanced at Situ Yan with confusion, and then followed Immortal Gao Mang into the hall.

"Master, what do you want to tell me?"

Immortal Gao Mang looked solemn and asked, "How did you meet Situ Yan? Do you know who he is?"

Ling Huayin was a little confused when her master suddenly mentioned Situ Yan, so she just answered truthfully: "A month ago, my disciple accidentally fell into the hands of the locust tree demon. It was Situ Yan who rescued me. After that, he fought for the nightmare demon."

We took action together. As for Situ Yan's origin, I only know that he is a wandering immortal. For some reason, he has forgotten many things in the past, and his last memory is that he stayed in Qinghuitai. Master

Does Zu know who he is?"

Immortal Gao Mang muttered: "I feel the murderous spirit from his music. Although it is not strong, it has the power to penetrate people's hearts."

Ling Huayin was shocked and said: "The aura of killing? How could it be?"

How could Situ Yan, a person as gentle as the wind, be so murderous?

"I hope I heard it wrong. But after all, you can't tell his origin. I think you have also noticed the powerful spiritual power hidden in Situ Yan's music. This person's identity is not so simple."
