Immortal Journey

Chapter 52 A Coincidence (Part [-])
The night is cold as water.

The wind seemed to be a bit harsher than usual, blowing the long hair of the figure floating under the moonlight one after another. Ren Ling was unaware of all this, and just walked up the stairs with his head full of thoughts.

The stairs going up the mountain are actually very strange. It flickers in the night, bends and straightens, and is constantly changing!

However, Ren Ling didn't notice this. I don't know if she was too absorbed in thinking about things, or because she was dazzled by the diffuse night. When walking, a bottomless abyss, or a sea of ​​swords and flames suddenly appeared behind him. These dangers appeared silently, as if a monster opened its mouth wide, and then closed it silently again after not eating food.

Ren Ling still had the chaotic scene in his mind.

When Zhong Yu came to her side, the seven-petaled heavy lotus suddenly burst into a strong seven-colored light to envelop the two of them. Under the dazzling halo, she saw him. The affectionate eyes, maybe she has been subconsciously avoiding them all these years, but today everything is so clearly presented in front of everyone, and she has to start thinking whether her previous response was too clumsy?
Zhong Yu has always been a partner in her heart, no matter whether she is willing to believe him from the bottom of her heart, she is always grateful to Zhong Yu and knows that he treats her sincerely.As for feelings, Ren Ling has gone from being completely ignorant four years ago to being a little enlightened now. She doesn't understand much. At least for her, she can't feel the so-called feeling of heartbeat. She has never changed the fact that cultivation is the most important thing in life, and she has already agreed with the concept that her mother had instilled in her in the deepest part of her heart.

The journey of self-cultivation is long and far away, and one needs to walk alone.

Perhaps this kind of thinking is a bit shocking in the Yin Lingmen, but it does not hinder her personal belief.

His eyes became clearer and firmer because of these thoughts, Ren Ling slowed down his steps slightly, thinking of the noisy scene, he was still extremely depressed.

Being pushed into such an embarrassing situation under the eyes of everyone, Ren Ling was actually a little angry besides reflecting on her usual shrinkage. She didn't want to be noticed, and she didn't want to be caught without warning Putting it in a situation beyond his control, even if Zhong Yu likes her, the people present shouldn't think that she should accept it with tears of gratitude, right?

So, at the last moment when everyone entered the carnival, she quietly avoided everything and ran in the quietest direction, trying to clear up her thoughts.

As we walked, suddenly there was an elegant and melodious flute sound in the air. The notes were sometimes lingering, sometimes sad, sometimes exciting, and sometimes lonely, as if entangled with various emotions that could not be put into words, slowly in this quiet night. Express it through music.

Ren Ling was curious for a moment, and followed the source of the sound to find it.

It's just that the voice was far away for a while, close for a while, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right. Ren Ling just went around in the mountains like this, and when he was about to give up, he finally saw a figure in front of a cliff.

She had never seen such a sad back, thin, thin, almost non-existent, as if he would ride the wind away at any time, the man was intoxicated by the flute, and he didn't seem to notice her who was surprised two feet away.

He played it slowly, without stopping, as if he was continuously conveying his longing for someone, no, Ren Ling shook his head, not so much longing, but desperate, desperate longing.

There is an unforgettable pain.

Ren Ling hesitated whether she should just leave quietly like this. She seemed to have inadvertently broken into someone else's world, and it was obvious that this was a world where she hoped not to be disturbed.

Just as she stepped back step by step, she suddenly found that she couldn't move.

In the blink of an eye, her whole body seemed to be frozen in an ice cave, but she didn't even have a trace of ice on her body, her eyes widened in surprise, Ren Ling said, "Junior Ren Ling, I accidentally disturbed the senior , please forgive me."

Ren Ling couldn't see the man's cultivation level, he didn't deliberately release the coercion, but the inadvertent suffocation felt even more unfathomable and terrifying, and he was a little annoyed that he ran around willfully, frowning slightly, a little dilemma.

The man didn't turn his head back, and ignored her, but continued to play as usual, but Ren Ling still couldn't move, so he could only stiffen his body to listen to the piercing sound.
for a long time.
It was so long that she almost forgot that she was imprisoned, and fell into the sad atmosphere created by the sound of the flute, unable to extricate herself.
"How did you get in?"

A cold voice awakened the intoxicated Ren Ling. She was startled, and found that the restraints on her body had been removed at some point. came here."

"Accidentally?" The voice seemed to be a little confused, and after a long pause, he said again, "That's true, I haven't been here for a long time, and I almost forgot when was the last time someone came, but , how did you break my Kunwu star array?"

"Kunwu Star Formation?" Ren Ling murmured, looked around for a while, carefully thinking about whether he encountered any strange things when he came here, and after a long while, he tentatively said, "Back to the seniors, when I came up, I always I walked along the stairs, the route is a bit too complicated, so I can’t remember it completely, I’m really sorry.”

"Stairs? It turned out to be along the climbing ladder," the man slowly turned his face, still did not look at Ren Ling, but seemed to be lost in his own thoughts again, and said to himself, "Deng Xianyun ladder is Kunwu. If you are able to come to the entrance of the second Xiao Sha of the star formation without any damage, if it is not because of your talent, then it is God's will."

He sighed lightly, and said softly, "Little girl, come forward."

Ren Ling nodded and walked over.

The man was wearing a simple black robe, and the black jade brocade belt tied around his waist looked extremely thin. The curve of his half-turned face was very elegant, his thin lips were tightly pressed, and his thick black eyelashes were slightly closed. , he was sitting on a boulder beside the cliff, and when he turned around—Ren Ling looked at the empty robe on the boulder with trembling heart, this man had broken his legs?
"Ren Ling met senior." Ren Ling bowed respectfully, and said neither humble nor overbearing.

The man turned his face, his eyes were half-opened, and he looked at Ren Ling carefully for a moment.
"You came from the climbing ladder, you must have participated in the Qiqiao Festival, right? Only that valley can lead to the climbing ladder."

Ren Ling snorted, nodded and said, "The younger generation just walked away during the Qiqiao Festival, and I don't know how to get here."
