Cihang Jingzhai, a place that people in the martial arts world admire and worship. For Bai Dao, it is a holy place in the martial arts world. The descendants from there are all peerless beauties and the dream goddess of the martial arts world. But for us, it is a huge trap.

We are walking on the way to Cihang Jingzhai.

The news about Qing'er has been confirmed. She is indeed missing. On the way to Taihu Lake, it was Luo Yan's news. At the end of the news, Luo Yan asked me to wait for her. She planned to go to Cihang Jingzhai with me. She felt that Jingzhai's doing this must be a conspiracy.

I didn't wait for her because this time was very dangerous. I didn't want her to take risks, and I knew she would advise me not to take risks. According to rational analysis, Qingxuan and Qing'er should not be in danger in Jingzhai. I believe these nuns have not yet reached this point. If Boss Bai has been unifying the world for two or three years, I believe that Jingzhai will send Qing'er back safely, otherwise Buddhism should not want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.

But can I let Qing'er stay in Jingzhai for so long?

It definitely doesn't work. I'm not a very rational person. I often rely on intuition and impulse, and there is no reason to say. For example, I have to go to Jingzhai. If there is a bystander who wants to accuse me of not doing it well enough, it is because he is a mediocre person who is disturbed by me. I only act on my own heart, that's all.

There were four people who arrived at Jingzhai this time, the evil king Yinhou, Meixian and me. I originally wanted to let Meixian go, but she insisted on doing this, so I had to compromise.

Cihang Jingzhai is located in Zhongnan Mountain, which is known to everyone in the world, but there are many different opinions on Zhongnan Mountain. The huge Zhongnan Mountain is like a maze, hiding countless Taoist temples and temples. This is also the place where hermits like to live in seclusion the most.

In this era, there are several types of people who like to live in seclusion. One is depressed and disheartened by reality, the other is to keep themselves clean and hide from the world, and the other is to seek fame and wait for the opportunity. Therefore, seclusion is a science.

The four of us had a quick journey. Soon we arrived in front of Dita Peak. The green mountains were green and the peaks were filled with clouds. There was a stone step in the middle, and above it was Cihang Jingzhai.

"For hundreds of years, I don't know how many seniors of the Demon Sect have walked through this ladder, but they all regretted it in Jingzhai. Today it was finally our turn." Shi Zhixuan stroked the rocks beside the road and sighed.

"Are the Evil King scared?" Zhu Yuyan said coldly.

"Haha, since Shi is here, he will be determined to die. What's the fear?" Shi Zhixuan laughed wildly and strode up the stone steps.

Meixian and I looked at each other and held hands and walked up the steps. This time, no matter whether we were alive or dead, we were at least together.

Following the stone steps up and halfway through the way, there are two plaques carved from huge stones next to the road, which are separated on both sides of the road with two lines of words "Home is in the mountain, and the clouds are deep and I don't know where they are." A person slowly walked out from behind the plaque.

"I have been waiting here for a long time." A Taoist priest in Taoist uniform bowed his head.

"Zhengren Sun, it's been a long time since I saw you. Why are you waiting here? Has Tianji Sect assigned a new mission?" I said angrily.

That's right, the Taoist priest in front of me is Sun Simiao. Yang Xuyan finally told me that there was a person in the Tianji Sect who was very familiar with me. I think Yang Xuyan would not talk randomly. After thinking about it, only Sun Simiao met the conditions. Of course, I also suspected Lu Miaozi, but Lu Miaozi's behavior did not look like a time traveler.

In my memory, Sun Simiao appeared on many important occasions, the little landscaping in the netherlands twenty years ago, the Luoyang City twenty years later, and his strange whereabouts, all made me wonder that the reason why I did not turn against me was because he had saved Su Su and had not found any evidence of his assassination.

"Haha, I am here to see you off." Sun Simiao smiled and said, "The wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold, and the heroes are gone..."

"I knew you were not kind and cursed us to die." I said annoyed.

"Then I advise you not to go up, are you willing to listen?" Sun Simiao asked seriously.

"Of course I refuse." I simply said.

"That's why I want to see you off and go up with you." Sun Simiao looked up at the stone steps and sighed, "This road is really long. I remember I came here once ten years ago."

Ten years ago? It was Shi Qingxuan's incident. The young Shi Qingxuan had come here and sneaked into Cihang Jingzhai. If Sun Simiao hadn't come to pick her up, Qingxuan would have stayed in Cihang Jingzhai forever.

"Which side are you helping?" I asked.

"I belong to my own side." Sun Simiao replied, "Do you see, how is the difference between me and twenty years ago?"

"different?"

I looked carefully and didn't pay attention before. Sun Simiao's face was still so young. Because I hadn't changed much around twenty years, I ignored this point. If this was not the way to maintain health as a doctor, it means that he could travel back and forth in time and space. No wonder history records that he still maintained his youthful appearance during the Tang Dynasty, like a living god. So that's it.

"Are you born with ability?" I hesitated.

"Yes, some people are born with some strange abilities. This is a talent and a curse. However, my talent comes from the sequelae of being misdiagnosed by quack doctors when they were young." Sun Simiao smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I can't control this ability, so I always shuttle in time and space. This is why I have been living alone. Otherwise, disappearing out of thin air will scare many people. The me you saw today and I saw me yesterday may not be the same me."

"Then where did you come from this time?" I said curiously.

"Don't ask, I won't say it." Sun Simiao shook his head and said, "You just need to know that I'm here for your own good. Everything needs to be settled. I'll ask again last time, are you really going up?"

"Yes, I must go." I said firmly.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you up, it's also a matter of fulfilling my duties." Sun Simiao sighed.

"What duty do you do? Do you know something?" I asked, "Will we die?"

Sun Simiao said nothing, just smiled and shook his head.

"Life and death have fate, I believe that Zhenren Sun will not harm us." Meixian said affirmatively.

I don’t know why Meixian has such great confidence, but think about it, except for the accident of using me for experiments, Sun Simiao has never done anything bad for me. Besides, having a doctor around is safer. Although his medical ethics are not very good, his medical skills are still trustworthy.

Going up further, the breeze comes and white clouds linger. I am in it, and I feel relaxed and happy. The scenery is like a fairyland. Perhaps only this fairyland can cultivate the temperament of those fairies. Then we saw the mountain gate of Cihang Jingzhai. It was a wooden door with a door knocker decorated with lotus patterns on the door. I stepped forward and pulled the door knocker. The door knocker collided and made a crisp sound, floating on the peak, especially clear and elegant.

We are not here to kick the house, nor to seek revenge, but to talk about things, and we still know that we are polite and then soldiers.

The wooden door slowly opened, and a simple face appeared in front of me. This face had appeared countless times in my dreams.

It's Axue!

For a moment, I seemed to have returned to the Dashi Temple in Bashu, watching the stone door close, and her back disappeared from my sight, and from then on, I was isolated from her and I, and now that the door was opened, she stood in front of me, just as before.
