Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 96 On Xiaozhu Peak
Yao Yao Han mountain road, falling on the cold stream bank.

As soon as Xu Zhiqiu set foot on the soil of Qingyun Mountain, God gave him a cliché welcome ceremony.

The drizzle was gentle at first, just a few strands.

But before he had taken a few steps along the mountain path, the mist began to fall.

Heyang City is about sixty miles away from Qingyun Mountain.

Out of courtesy, Xu Zhiqiu simply flew from outside the city to the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and then chose to walk up the mountain.

Originally, he was looking forward to meeting Zhou Yixian or Qu Niang in Heyang City on this trip.

However, the result was just his wishful thinking. Zhou Yixian had no fixed place to stay and wandered around the world. After Qu Niang recovered from her injury, she would probably follow him.

By the way, I'll be a wet nurse for Xiao Huan...

Good.

He also consulted Zhou Yixian about Qingyun Sect.

The Qingyun Sect is divided into seven peaks, and the Shuiyue Zhenren on that day was the chief of "Xiaozhu Peak" among the seven peaks.

All the people on this peak are women.

There have been many high-ranking masters with unparalleled cultivation in every generation, so their status in the Qingyun Sect is no lower than that of the other six sects.

Xu Zhiqiu asked for directions from the woodcutters along the way, and then followed the mountain path to the foot of Xiaozhu Peak.

Looking up, you can see the beautiful peak covered with bamboo shadows.

The vegetation is lush and the atmosphere is compelling.

At the foot of the mountain there was a bluestone path leading straight up, and Xu Zhiqiu was about to step on it.

Two women in blue jumped out from behind the bluestone in the distance.

They all have handsome looks and hold magic swords.

Someone shouted, "Hey! Stop!"

Another person shouted, "Who are you, trespassing into the quiet place of Xiaozhu Peak?"

Xu Zhiqiu laughed and cupped his hands:

"I am Xu Zhiqiu, a wandering man in the martial arts world. I have the audacity to come to your door today just to ask to see Master Shuiyue. I would like to ask the two fairies to inform you."

The two women looked him up and down.
"Do you know our Master?"

Xu Zhiqiu thought about it and said, "It probably counts as such."

The two female disciples looked at each other after hearing this, and one of them said to the other:

"Go and report to the senior sister first. I'll stay here."

Then, one of them turned and went up the mountain.

"Please wait a moment."

"That's natural."

Xu Zhiqiu was waiting there. After a while, the man who brought the news came back with a woman in white.

She was a beautiful woman with an oval face, hair like clouds and skin as white as snow.

"This is our Xiaozhu Peak's senior sister."

"Xiaozhufeng Wenmin, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

Xu Zhiqiu returned the gift, then recounted his origins and gave his name.

Wenmin listened, hesitated for a moment, and said to him:
"Our master is teaching a junior sister and cannot be away for a while. There are only women on the peak, so it is not easy to keep her..."

She looked somewhat apologetic.
"If you are not in a hurry, you may wait here for a while. We can meet again later when the matter is settled."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqiu frowned slightly.

I thought that Xiaozhu Peak had some serious rules.

But after all, he came to visit relatives and express gratitude, so even if the host was a little neglectful, he could only make do with it.

So, "Nothing is impossible."

It was already past noon when he climbed the mountain, and he had to wait at the foot of the mountain for a long time.

It was not until the sun began to set that Wenmin appeared again.

"My master invites you, please follow me."

So he led him up the mountain, and after walking along the bluestone path for about a cup of tea, a fork in the road appeared in front of them.

Going up leads directly to the top of the mountain, and to the left leads to the secluded forest on the mountainside.

Wenmin led him into a small path to the left, and after walking for a while, a bamboo building appeared in front of them.

Xu Zhiqiu wondered, is this the place to meet guests?
Wen Min saw that he was dissatisfied, so he smiled and said jokingly:
"Please forgive me, my friend. Most of the people on our mountain are junior sisters who have entered the sect in recent years. They are not very advanced in Taoism and their concentration is not deep. And you are handsome and dignified. I am afraid that once they see you, they will be tempted by you."

"..."

That sounds nice.

But Xu Zhiqiu is not a stupid person who can't smell the smell.

He said lightly:
"It seems that I came too abruptly."

Wenmin smiled awkwardly and led him to the bamboo building.

"My master is inside, please go in."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xu Zhiqiu didn't hesitate and pushed the door open.

The furnishings in the house are simple, and most of the furniture is made of bamboo with a faint scent of sandalwood.

A woman in a moon-white robe was facing away from him, admiring a piece of calligraphy hanging on the wall.

——Living with good people is like entering a room full of orchids. You will naturally become fragrant after a long time.

Noticing the door being pushed open, she turned around, her cold face looking very calm.

"Your name is Xu Zhiqiu?"

"It's down."

Xu Zhiqiu cupped his hands:
"I came here to thank you for your help in the past."

"It's not a matter of gratitude, it's just a coincidence that we met and I acted according to my nature."

Shuiyue's tone was dull, and her eyes were calm as she looked Xu Zhiqiu up and down.

"Let's not talk about the incident with He Huan. Although I have lived in the mountains for a long time, I have heard your name a lot recently."

Xu Zhiqiu was stunned.
"Recently? The real person knows me?"

Shuiyue lowered her eyelids calmly and opened her thin lips slightly:
"You have been to Huqi Mountain and Yudi again. You have become famous twice. It can be said that you have transformed yourself into a great man. You are indeed a rising star."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Xu Zhiqiu heard some hidden meaning in her words.

Combined with the bright handwriting behind her...

In addition, Xiaozhufeng showed him all kinds of "excellent" hospitality...

Xu Zhiqiu was not a blind man and had already guessed most of it.

Shuiyue continued:
"The human heart is more dangerous than the mountains and rivers, and more difficult to predict than the heavens. Sometimes people...are bound to act in contradictions. If they make a mistake, they may not realize it at first, but it may sow the seeds of disaster in the future."

"Is the real person giving me a heads up?"

Xu Zhiqiu was amused, cupped his hands, and said in a teasing tone:

"You are high up there, looking down on everyone. How can you know the struggles in the hearts of us little people?"

"To be honest, the reason I came here this time, besides thanking you in person, I also wanted to see..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shuiyue.
