The corners of Shen Manqing's mouth raised imperceptibly, and the joy in her heart was difficult to explain to outsiders. She lowered her head and saw the necklace, and was stunned. Ever since she entered the immortal path, she has been either in retreat or preparing for retreat every day. On the road, I had no desire for worldly things. I only focused on reading swordsmanship and never bought myself any decent jewelry.

After all, she is still a woman. When she first saw this "walking in the snow in search of plum blossoms", she couldn't help but show affection.

Xie Qingyun also saw the appearance of the necklace. The craftsmanship of the chain was extremely complicated, and it was strung together by plum blossoms about the size of half a grain of rice. I don’t know what kind of metal these plum blossoms were outlined with, they were so lifelike; the pendant was even more Incredible, it is about the size of a longan, and the whole is made of thin ice-white snow flakes. The hollow pattern design really looks like a falling snowflake.

The shopkeeper's vision is really vicious. This necklace is indeed suitable for Shen Manqing. But he has some doubts in his heart and said: "Shopkeeper, this necklace is called 'Walking in the Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms', but why are plum blossoms used to form the chain?"

"Fellow Taoist, you don't know something." The middle-aged man showed a nostalgic look, "When my late wife designed this necklace in her later years, she recalled that we have been tirelessly pursuing the road to immortality in our lives. Only when we grow old do we realize that the most important thing is that we have already owned it. But they neglected each other's company. This is what the so-called 'walking in the snow in search of plum blossoms' embodies."

"The meaning is really good." Shen Manqing was a little crazy, "My fellow Taoist husband and wife love each other so much, and the husband sings and the wife takes care of them. It's really enviable."

"Funny." The middle-aged man quietly wiped away the tears from his eyes and said with a smile.

"Xiaoqing, it really suits you." Xie Qingyun took out "Walking in the Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms" from the display case, and then handed it to Shen Manqing.

"Why do you say that?" Shen Manqing did not answer.

Xie Qingyun said: "Your collarbone is particularly delicate, with an indescribable bone beauty. Coupled with your natural cold temperament, this necklace is simply tailor-made for you."

There were slight ripples in Shen Manqing's eyes: "You want to send me off?"

Xie Qingyun smiled and said: "Just think of it as a thank you gift for accompanying me shopping, please accept it."

"Can you put it on for me?" Shen Manqing said softly.

"Of course." Xie Qingyun helped her put it on quickly, then took two steps back to admire it. Because of Shen Manqing's strange attire, the necklace was clearly attached to Shen Manqing's sternum. The superb craftsmanship and design made the silver-white necklace It blends seamlessly with her snow-white skin, and because of the existence of the necklace, her delicate collarbones are also highlighted, making her overall cool and dusty temperament more obvious.

"How is it?" Shen Manqing's ears felt a little hot.

"Perfect." Xie Qingyun exclaimed.

"Thank you." Shen Manqing said softly. I don't know if she was thanking him for the compliment or for the necklace, or both.

"This is what you deserve." Xie Qingyun smiled.

He looked at the shopkeeper, only to find that the latter was also stunned, so he coughed twice to remind him.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." The middle-aged man came to his senses and said with shame, "This necklace has been sold to many people, but no one has ever been able to wear it with such a bone-deep effect as a fellow Taoist. I believe that the spirit of my deceased wife can also rest in peace in heaven. Alright."

"This is my honor." Shen Manqing stroked the pendant and felt unprecedented happiness.

Xie Qingyun then selected five or six more jewelry, and finally pointed at the blue beads and said: "Shopkeeper, wrap these together and calculate how much they cost."

"Okay."

The middle-aged man was very quick with his hands and feet. He wrapped each piece of jewelry separately and put it into a big box. Then he took out the abacus and made calculations with a "beep, boop," and finally showed a smile, "Chenghui two hundred and fifteen." Guan, give fellow Taoist a small amount, let’s call it two hundred Guan.”

Although it is expensive, it is well worth the money... Xie Qingyun paid the money happily and then put the things into the storage charm.

After leaving the jewelry shop, he said as he walked: "We've almost bought everything. Let's buy some food and drinks and go back. I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Shen Manqing nodded.

Xie Qingyun then went to buy some peanuts to go with the wine, braised chicken, duck and beef, and cold vegetables, and carried two large jars of wine back.

…

Going south from Shangtang County is to Shangyang, and to the northwest is Shenmu Mountain where the Shixuanmen are located. Shenmu Mountain has ten peaks, corresponding to the ten veins of the Shixuanmen. Among them, Qingmu Peak is both the main peak of Shenmu Mountain and the It is the main lineage of the Ten Mysterious Sects.

There is no leader in the Ten Mysterious Sects. The number of disciples in each peak ranges from hundreds to dozens. Ten elders coordinate all daily affairs, and these ten elders form the Elders Council. Among them, the most powerful one is Qingmu Peak Grand Elder Liang. dawn.

Liang Dan entered the Divine Realm three years ago, and the power of the Ten Mysterious Sects has greatly expanded, and the sect has almost become his one-spoken hall.

On the path from Qingmu Peak to the main hall on the top of the mountain, Senior Brother Yang and Lian Hai were walking side by side, talking about Song Manting's current situation. Senior Brother Yang sighed and lowered his voice and said: "The Great Elder originally regarded Senior Brother Song as his own son, but when he learned that he His spiritual roots were destroyed and he immediately ignored him. Senior Brother Song asked for the Jade Pill several times but failed. He was bullied and framed by ordinary disciples and is now in prison. It is really pitiful..."

Lian Hai was startled, and said in a suppressed voice: "Shh, senior brother, are you going to die? The elder is visiting a guest, and if he hears it, you will be rewarded!"

Senior Brother Yang sighed again and looked at him with complicated eyes: "I heard that the Great Elder has decided to officially accept you as his disciple?"

"The old man did mention it a few days ago," Lian Hai said reservedly.

Senior Brother Yang hesitated for a moment and then sent a message: "The Great Elder has a cold nature. If you are of no value to him, he will abandon it without hesitation. Do you want to think about it again?"

"Senior brother is jealous of my younger brother," Lian Hai said calmly.

Senior Brother Yang said in a daze: "Why do you say that?"

"Speaking of which," Lian Hai said calmly, "I have been feeling strange all day, and now I finally understand that you forced me to visit Senior Brother Song because you wanted to persuade me not to become a disciple."

Senior Brother Yang felt cold in his heart and his face turned cold: "Do you miss me so much?"

"You dare to say that you are not worried that my cultivation will surpass yours after I become a disciple?" Lian Hai sneered, "You said that the Great Elder is cold and cold, but in my opinion, Senior Brother Song is in the situation he is in today. He asked for it. He Three consecutive breakthroughs to attract jade have failed. Senior brother should know how precious the jade attracting pill is. We don’t have silver bounty catchers to earn Daoxun. All jade attracting pills are purchased from the black market at high prices. Which disciple of the Immortal Sect can have three opportunities to attract jade? The Great Elder is not kind enough to him? He can't defeat Xie Qingyun, but he still insists on gathering his soul. Now he is a useless person, and he still wants to continue to waste the precious resources in the sect. Why should he?"

Senior Brother Yang smiled sadly: "When you first came to Shixuanmen, you didn't understand anything. You were like a blank piece of paper. Your youthful spirit made you look proud and cute. Now that you have grown up, you understand the key points when looking at problems, and strive to change based on your reasoning. It has become your weapon, and it has become your instinct to be wary of others, but you have become powerful and vulgar."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, knowing that after these words were spoken, they would become strangers to each other.

Go away, you useless fat man, you still want to bewitch me? Lian Hai looked at Senior Brother Yang's back coldly and thought to himself, "With the Great Elder guiding me in my practice, I will be able to break through Yinyu quickly. No matter you or Xie Qingyun, no matter what.

I will trample on my feet. Then I will snatch Miss Sinan away from Xie Qingyun..."

Thinking of his success, he walked briskly and walked around to the door of the main hall. The disciples on duty reached out to stop him. One of them said: "The great elder is visiting guests, you can't go in."

"You're new here? Don't you recognize me?" Lian Hai's face darkened.

"Junior brother Lian Hai, don't make it difficult for me." The man frowned.

"In two days, the great elder will officially hold a apprenticeship ceremony for me." Lian Hai said calmly, "At that time, I will be the great elder's personal disciple. It is my duty as a disciple to help the master entertain the guests."

"This..." The man hesitated, and the other said, "Don't cause trouble, let him in." He frowned and put down his hand.

Lian Hai smiled coldly and strode in proudly. But there was no one in the main hall. Only the side hall seemed to have flickering firelight. When he came to the door of the side hall, he saw that the side door was closed and there were people talking inside.

He heard a strange voice say: "Brother Liang, Li State is the birthplace of martial arts. Once this is done, you and I will master the key martial arts secrets. Your Shixuan Sect can open the gates to cultivate warriors. Once it is formed, it will

At this scale, even if you are an emperor, you may not be able to do it."

Liang Dan said: "Brother Yun, even if this matter is accomplished, I will probably be jealous of others if I do this great injustice in the world."

"Brother Liang, it's hard to achieve great things by looking forward and backward. - The little friend outside the door, don't you think so?"

The side door suddenly opened, and Lian Hai saw the great elder and a man in black brocade sitting across from each other. Both of them turned to look at him coldly. He hurriedly said: "Master, this disciple did not intend to eavesdrop."

The man in black brocade clothes smiled inexplicably and said: "Brother Liang, is this your new disciple?"

"That's right, the apprenticeship ceremony will be held in two days." Liang Dan said, looking at Lian Hai coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Lian Hai felt slightly relieved when he heard him admit it in front of outsiders: "Come and help you entertain the guests."

"What did you hear?" Liang Dan asked.

"Li Guo, warrior..." Lian Hai's heart suddenly skipped a beat, "No, no, no, I didn't hear anything. Disciple, please leave first..." He said and wanted to leave.

Liang Dan only touched his hand gently, and Lian Hai's whole body froze. He said in horror: "Master, please spare my life!"

"If you want to help me entertain the guests, then you can stay." Liang Dan said with a faint smile.

"Is that okay, Brother Liang? I'm really a little angry lately and have nowhere to vent my anger." The man in black brocade clothes said with a smile.

"Oh?" Liang Dan said.

"There is a boy about his age, jumping up and down everywhere." The man in brocade clothes said.

"I seem to have heard rumors, but it's a pity that your wife is so young...is her name Xie Qingyun?" Liang Dan said with regret, and then smiled, "Although he will be accepted as a disciple, as long as Brother Yun can be more comfortable, he is just a disciple.

That’s all.”

"Thank you very much." The man in brocade clothes smiled slightly, "Boy, remember not to eavesdrop on others in the next life." After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and thunder gathered above Lian Hai's head. With a "chila" sound, Lian Hai was startled.

The cry turned into a ball of coke.

Liang Dan sighed: "So, the most important thing is to know yourself."
