Xiandao Linglong

"Brother Ye Qi! I'm so scared, save me!"

Just as Ye Qi stepped into the formation, as the hot mist spread, he suddenly entered an unfamiliar space.

In this quiet and somewhat scary place, suddenly a woman's delicate cry sounded from all around!

"Who?"

Ye Qi listened to this voice, and for some reason, a feeling of confusion and helplessness suddenly rose in his heart.

"Brother Ye Qi! Where are you? It's so dark here! I'm so scared!"

The woman's frightened voice gradually became trembling and she began to sob. Her cries became smaller and smaller, and more and more desperate. Ye Qi became more and more nervous and confused after hearing it!

"who are you?"

"Meng Yi?"

"Is it you?"

"Where are you?"

"Say something!"

"Meng Yi!"

……

As the woman's voice disappeared, the space became silent again. This tranquility seemed to be the last straw that broke Ye Qi's heart. Feeling lost and helpless, he roared around, as if he had gone crazy!

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Suddenly, a young girl in tattered clothes and barefoot was locked in an iron cage. She hugged her knees with her arms, buried her head deeply between her legs, and her body trembled and twitched slightly.

There was a spiked iron chain on her slender ankle, as if she would be pricked by the spikes with every step she took.

"Meng Yi? Is that you?"

Hearing the voice, the girl slowly looked up at me, her eyes full of tears, her rosy eyes were red and I don’t know how long she had been crying!

"Meng Yi!"

"Ye...Brother Ye Qi...ah!"

The girl had just stood up and was about to run towards Ye Qi, when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her foot and fell heavily onto the iron cage.

The pale cheek was pressed against the gap of the iron cage, struggling hard to get out, and the cries and screams hit Ye Qi's heart again and again!

"Mengyi! Wait for me! I'm coming to save you!"

Seeing Meng Yi stretching out his arm covered with wounds, Ye Qi drew his sword and was about to rush over, but an invisible barrier in front of him separated him from Meng Yi. No matter how hard he chopped with his sword, he could not rush over.

"Ye Qi! Who is she? Why does she look so much like me?"

Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared behind Ye Qi. She stared blankly at the man in front of her and the face that looked extremely similar to her own. Her face turned pale in an instant, but she did not shed tears!

Because she said that she was born without the ability to cry!

"Jingshu? Why are you here too?"

Ye Qi looked at the girl behind him and suddenly felt at a loss as if he had made a mistake.

"Why can't I be here? Who is she?"

Jingshu's tone was as calm as usual, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

"she……"

"Then who am I? Her substitute?"

"I'm sorry! I don't know how to explain this to you!"

Faced with Jingshu's questioning, Ye Qi didn't know how to answer.

"I understand! There shouldn't be a third person in a story between two people, but thank you anyway, Ye Qi!"

Jingshu still spoke in the same gentle voice. Although she didn't know how to cry, she knew how to laugh, but this time her laugh was not happy.

Watching Jingshu's figure gradually disappear, Ye Qi also understood something, but no matter whether it was Mengyi or Jingshu, he had no ability to protect them.

At this moment, a voice full of vicissitudes of life suddenly appeared and said, "Ye Qi! What you see is the obsession in your heart. If you want to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, you must cut off all emotions and desires. The sword is in your hand, choose the path you want to take!"

Ye Qi staggered to Meng Yi's side, looked at her red and swollen eyes, wanted to touch them, but didn't dare to face her!

"Brother Ye Qi! I believe you will not kill me, right?" Meng Yi grabbed his hand holding the sword and said tremblingly.

Ye Qi, without hesitation, pried open her slender fingers that were tightly grasping his arm one by one, then raised the sword high, closed his eyes, and swung it down with full determination!

"You people will never understand that some obsessions cannot be cut off, and some people cannot be let go. Protecting those you want to protect does require strength, but at the same time, having strength is also for the purpose of protecting those you want to protect. So, if this immortal path requires sacrificing those you want to protect, then I will forge a path of my own!"

The cage in front of him shattered when Ye Qi swung his sword, but Meng Yi's figure also gradually disappeared!

He knew that this was just an illusion, and perhaps cutting off Meng Yi in the illusion would allow him to successfully complete the trial, but he did not choose that!

If a person is willing to deceive even his own heart, how can he talk about attaining enlightenment?

The master is right. Only when your mind is as calm as still water and your mind is as clear as a spirit, can you glimpse the essence of all things in the world and walk towards the path you pursue and yearn for!

Just as the heat mist dissipated, the original world reappeared before his eyes. At the same time, a voice rang out: "Congratulations! You've passed the trial! You are the seventh disciple of our sect to pass the trial! The rewards for passing the trial are: a high-level spiritual treasure and an ice silk wristband!"

Ye Qi took the ice silk wristband and examined it carefully. The wristband extended from the palm to the forearm, and there was nothing special about it.

It feels cold in the hand. Under normal circumstances, it is soft and elastic. It seems thin in the hand, but when it is attacked violently, it feels extremely hard. It is quite interesting!

"This is a good thing. It can withstand the full force attack of strong people below the Jindan realm!" Old Mu said as he looked at the ice silk wristband.

"How can something as thin as a cicada's wing have such strong defensive power? But it looks pretty. Jingshu will probably like it. I'd better put it away for now!"

Ye Qi was shocked when he saw the ice silk wristband. He thought it was just beautiful, but it turned out to have such a great use.

According to what Mr. Mu said, with this thing, wouldn't it be possible to withstand the fatal attack of a Jindan realm expert at the critical moment?

This is such a great treasure. It should look great on Jingshu’s soft, boneless, slender and white arms!

"Mr. Mu! The Qingyan Sect has so many treasures. Where should we go to find them next?" Ye Qi asked excitedly.

"Do you think everyone is like you, sweeping up treasures like leaves? If spiritual treasures were as common as fallen leaves on the ground, and everyone could find one, then the Qingyan Sect would be able to join the ranks of the world's top sects!"

Ye Qi scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm too greedy!"

Elder Mu looked at Ye Qi's greedy look and slowly warned him, "I think the Qingyan Sect has been almost completely plundered by those people. It's time for us to leave. Otherwise, if those people know about your opportunity, I'm afraid there will be more murders and treasures!"
