Chapter 25 Zixiao

"Wow! Sister, sister! These lotus flowers are so beautiful!"

Yichen seemed to have forgotten the cold at the moment and ran towards the lotus pond. He stared at these magical lotus flowers in the pond without blinking. When he got a little closer, although there was a cold air coming in, it was refreshing. , and upon closer inspection, these lotus flowers seem to be really carved out of ice, but it is difficult for any skilled craftsman in the world to carve out such a lifelike lotus flower.

"Sister, sister! Where did these lotus flowers come from!"

Yichen raised his head and looked at Fairy Miaoyin curiously. Seeing her cold face, he grinned and changed his words, "I know, it's Master——" ❈✮

Ling Yin frowned slightly and glanced at the ice lotus in the pond, saying, "This is what my master brought back after tracking people in the demonic path to the extreme north. Unexpectedly, the cold here actually allowed these ice lotuses to survive." Come down..."

The latter sentence seemed to be speaking to herself. For three hundred years, she had been living alone in this cold palace, with only these lotus flowers for company. At this moment, her mind gradually recalled what she had seen back then. That person, that person from the demon clan who fought with her for three days and three nights to fight for the ice lotus.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, Ling Yin walked towards the main hall. Yichen didn't know why she suddenly became angry again, and asked, "Are people in the devil's path bad? Master actually chased him so far away..."

"Everyone who lives in the devil's path must be punished." Ling Yin dropped these words and walked into the palace with a roll of sleeves.

Yichen was afraid of making her angry again, so he didn't dare to ask any more, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"Why don't you come in? What are you doing standing outside?"

In the main hall, Ling Yin's lukewarm voice suddenly came. She had always been like this. Yichen came back to his senses and quickly said "oh", then he picked up the water from the lotus pond, wiped his face carelessly, and walked into the temple.

"sit down."

"oh.

Yichen sat down as he was told, and Lingyin put two fingers together and tapped several acupuncture points on his body. After a moment, he said, "Let's go out first."

"oh."

Yichen stood up and walked out again. After a while, he didn't see her coming out. He wondered whether Lord Yaoguang was like Yang Xiaoran, who left him alone and didn't teach his own skills... After thinking about it, he shook his head vigorously. No, Lord Yaoguang is the master, how can he be compared to Yang Xiaoran? The master must let himself walk around at will now, and first get familiar with the environment here.

Well, then just take a walk...

Secretly peeking into the hall, he saw the master closing his eyes and concentrating. Yichen gently raised his legs and walked towards the back of the hall. When he came up, he wanted to walk around and take a look, but Because it's too cold, but now I seem to have barely gotten used to the cold here.

When he came to Zixiao Peak for the first time, although it was inevitably a bit cold, Yichen was curious about everything here. Unknowingly, he was far away from Yaoguang Hall. He didn't know where he had arrived. He walked through a purple bamboo forest and faintly heard something coming. The sound of running water came, and I couldn't help but feel even more curious. The top of the mountain seemed to be suspended above the clouds. Is there a stream as well?

Walking forward for a few miles, I suddenly saw a field of colorful flowers. Among the flowers, there was a stream flowing quietly. Yichen was even more curious. It seemed to be connected with the sky. Could it be that this water was brought by Master from the heaven to the fairy world? Led down?

Arriving at the stream, a chill immediately hit him. Yichen walked closer and saw that the stream was crystal clear. He wanted to go down for a dip, but unexpectedly, as soon as he squatted down, his hands touched the stream. , as if he had touched tens of thousands of years of ice, his whole body was shaken, and he quickly retreated back.

"So... so cold!"

Yichen was horrified when he saw a thin layer of frost forming on his palms. He was instantly frozen and lost consciousness. Although the stream did not freeze all year round, it was far colder than ice.

"Ouch! My hand can't feel the pain anymore!"

Yichen bit his palm hard, but he couldn't feel any pain at all. The two palms seemed to be broken, and there was no feeling at all. Even the frost on the palms continued to spread upwards, gradually It had already wrapped half of his arm.

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind. Yichen turned around and said hurriedly, "Ouch! Master, my hands are frozen, please help me."

Ling Yin frowned, stepped forward, moved her palm slightly, and pressed it on his shoulder, which immediately relieved the coldness in his arms, and only then did the layer of frost slowly subside.

Yichen gradually regained consciousness in his hands and looked at the stream again. At this moment, he was still a little frightened and asked, "Master, why is the water so cold?"

"This place is called 'Tianshui Stream'. It was the water that my master brought from the Tianhe River three hundred years ago. If you are not strong enough, you are not allowed to touch the water in the stream. Come back with me."

Ling Yin turned around and walked towards the Yaoguang Hall. After a while, she turned around again and saw that he was all gray and said, "Are you so naughty at the foot of the mountain?"

Yichen came back to his senses and said, "That's not true! I listened to my mother-in-law when we were at the foot of the mountain!"

Ling Yin shook his head, "I didn't see it."

At night, a crescent moon hung slantingly in the sky, and Zixiao Peak was colder than anywhere else. Yichen didn’t bring a change of clothes. After washing his clothes, he could only hide under the quilt. He was cold and hungry at night, but he couldn’t Dare to walk around outside.

This went on for three days. After he got used to the coldness of Zixiao Peak, Ling Yin taught him the first level of Yaoguang Heart Method. There are seven levels of Yaoguang Heart Method. The first level is "Jade Heart Jue", which was created by Ling Yin himself. No previous Yaoguang skills were retained. Even the buildings on Zixiao Peak have been replaced in the past three hundred years. There is no trace of the past. Even the head of the sect, Qingxuan Zhenren, never tells his disciples about the past of Zixiao Peak.

One day, at dusk, Yichen was drowsy in the Yaoguang Hall until Ling Yin shouted coldly. He woke up and saw his master's cold face. He pouted and said, "Master, I'm hungry..."

It has been nearly two days since he had eaten. He was already hungry. But Zixiao Peak is not like the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, he can still go to hunt two wild rabbits to roast. Where can he hunt here?

Ling Yin frowned and said, "In the Jade Lotus Pond outside, a lotus seed can resist hunger and cold for three days. Go."

"Yes!"

Yi Chen quickly got up and ran outside. Ling Yin looked at his figure running outside. At this moment, she didn't know what he was thinking. In the next three days, Yi Chen came to Yaoguang Hall every morning. It was not until the evening of the third day that he memorized all the first level of Yaoguang Heart Method.

"But have you memorized them all?"

"Yes!"

Yi Chen nodded vigorously. Ling Yin said, "Practice well in the next few months. When you have mastered the first level of the Heart Method, I will teach you the second level of the Heart Method."

"Oh..."

Yi Chen pouted and looked outside again. Seeing that it was getting late, he asked, "Will my master and I live here forever in the future..."

Ling Yin saw that he was distracted after just a few days and always wanted to play. He said unhappily, "How can you be distracted on the road of cultivation? If you are so careless, when will you become a great master? There are three steps to get started. Years, after three years, I can go to Tianshu Peak to practice the common mental method of our sect. I can't go anywhere during these three years."

"Ah?" Yichen turned around and said hesitantly, "I can only go down after three years..."

"Huh?"

Seeing that his master was suddenly unhappy, Yichen grinned and said, "I know, I will practice hard in these three years and won't embarrass my master when the time comes."

Time passed quickly, and it was already three months later. I don't know when it started, but one day, pieces of white snow suddenly floated on Zixiao Peak, making the entire mountain look even more lonely and cold.

After these three months, Yichen has basically mastered the first level of Yaoguang Mentality, but what he can't figure out is that, as both are mysterious skills, why is the mental method taught by the master completely opposite to the mysterious skills taught to him by the strange senior?

The Xuanmen cultivation is mostly about "all things bear yin and embrace yang, and the rush of qi is harmony", but the strange senior's method of teaching himself seems to be completely contrary to it. What's going on?

Yichen couldn't figure it out, and sometimes he was even in a trance. Every time he practiced the mental method in peace, he always felt that something was instilled in his mind, but he couldn't remember it, just like looking for flowers in the fog, and he couldn't see it clearly.

He naturally didn't dare to tell Ling Yin about this matter. Later, he realized that although the two sets of mental methods were completely different, they did not affect each other. The two mysterious energies each went through their own veins and each served its own master. He simply didn't care about it in the end. He simply practiced at the same time. I think there would be no harm.

On this day, the snow had just stopped and the sun was warm outside. Yichen went to Yaoguang Hall, but there was no trace of the master. He thought that the master would guide him to practice at this time on weekdays. Why was he not here today?

After waiting for an hour, the sun outside was gradually slanting, and the master still didn't come back. Yichen felt very bored. He walked back and forth in the hall for a long time, and simply sat cross-legged to practice. Not long after, he had a whim. Why not try to run the mental method taught by the master and the mysterious skills taught by the strange senior at the same time?

When he thought that he could practice like this, he was very excited. He immediately adjusted the mysterious energy around his body and started to practice two completely different mysterious skills at the same time. At the beginning, he was still able to control it, but the more he practiced, the more he seemed to be possessed. The two mysterious energies rushed around in his body and gradually lost control.

"Oh no..."

Yi Chen was shocked. At this moment, he felt that his body was churning and his meridians seemed to be broken. His face turned red and his eyes were gradually filled with bloodshot.

At this moment, he immediately thought of the four words "possessed by the devil", but at this time he could no longer control the operation of the mysterious skills. What should he do if this continued? What if the master came back and saw it...

Just then, a gust of wind sounded outside, as if someone had landed outside the hall, followed by a series of light footsteps, getting closer and closer.

"Oh no, it's the master who is back..."
