Chapter 1 Xie Pianran
There were green mountains on both sides. Between the green mountains, an old carriage was walking along the post road. The person who drove the car was an old handkerchief with a scattered face and a frosty eyebrows.
"Young Master, you will reach Ailao Mountain eleven miles away," said the old hand-held Lin Junxuan, who was poking his head out of the car window.
"Well, Master, please trouble you." Lin Junxuan nodded and smiled, looking around with interest. Now it is the midsummer time, it should be the hot weather and the world is dry, but the continuous green mountains leading to Ailao Mountain are full of mist, covering the sky, looking like late autumn and early winter.
"Young Master, it's not my opinion. This Ailao Mountain is really not a good place. You are weak. If you just want to see the scenery, why not go anywhere else?" The car was not fast. The old coachman glanced at Lin Junxuan and finally couldn't help but persuade him.
Lin Junxuan smiled indifferently and did not comment. He knew that this old coachman regarded him as an ordinary Confucian scholar studying abroad.
The old coachman knew that Lin Junxuan had decided his will, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, I'll say that. The miasma near Ailao Mountain has been very strong recently. I can only send you five miles away and can't move forward. Going forward any further will mean death."
"My old man is worried, I'm just here to visit. Even though there is so much miasma in Ailao Mountain, I naturally won't go to any kind of place." Lin Junxuan sneered.
The old coachman nodded and stopped talking. The carriage continued to move forward and headed towards Ailao Mountain.
Lin Junxuan leaned against the car window and looked at the scenery outside, but his heart was silently in deep thought. After that night, Lin Junxuan finally got rid of the pursuit of evil Taoist people. After being tricked by the Dao Alliance, the evil spirits had no intention of chasing him, an unknown soldier. After leaving, Lin Junxuan later heard that some top masters from various Taoist sects, led by Xingchenzi, raided several medium-sized sects of evil Taoist sects, and successively wiped out these large-scale sects. Later, they raided Xuanpin Sect, and the Tianlang Sect Master and others came to help, and then repelled the masters of the Dao Alliance.
In addition to the fact that Midnight designs siege and killing all evil Taoist monks, the successive designs of the Dao Alliance can be regarded as a revenge and retaliation against the leaders of the three major sects of evil Taoist sects jointly attacking the Langya headquarters of the Dao Alliance. Now, the entire Taoist world's eyes have been shifted to Yu Deng between good and evil. The Taoist world is at a time of turbulence, but all this has nothing to do with Lin Junxuan.
Ailao Mountain is located remotely, with sparse figures along the way. Except for the carriage Lin Junxuan rode, there was no figure.
"Yu Yuyu!" When the carriage was seven miles away from Ailao Mountain, about to bypass a fallen palm forest, suddenly its front hooves were raised, its eyes wide open, and its mouth and nose kept spewing white air, which looked like it was frightened. The old coachman was also startled and jumped out of the car and comforted the two horses.
"Huh?" Lin Junxuan was puzzled when he saw this, and looked around for a few times. There was a quiet place in front of him, and nothing was strange. Why did these two horses seem to be frightened?
"Young Master, I'm afraid I can't take you forward any further," the old coachman turned around and looked at Lin Junxuan and smiled bitterly: "The Ailao Mountain has a lot of miasma and is very evil. I usually don't walk this road. People in the town rumored that many people entered this Ailao Mountain and never came back. I'm afraid I can't help it, so I can only send the young master here."
At the foot of Ailao Mountain is a poisonous pool. The so-called miasma is actually the poisonous gas evaporated from the pool. In addition, there are many poisonous substances in the poisonous pool, which are indeed not a place that ordinary people can go.
"Okay, the old man just sends me here," Lin Junxuan nodded, and after saying that, he walked out of the carriage.
"Is this young man going to Ailao Mountain?" As he was speaking, a elegant voice suddenly came from the woods ahead. Amid the footsteps, a gentle young man in white appeared at the turn of the way. The man held a folding fan in his hand, graceful and elegant.
"Yes, I don't know what this kind of brother is called?" Lin Junxuan bowed with the etiquette of a Confucian scholar and replied.
"Xie Pianran is here. He lived near Ailao Mountain when he was young. Now that he has returned from his studies, he has finally visited the old place again." Xie Pianran also turned around and bowed.
"Oh, there seems to be no villages near Laoai Mountain, right?" Lin Junxuan said in surprise. This was not the first time he had come here. There were no families near Ailao Mountain, which he had known for a long time.
Xie Pianran shook his head and smiled and said, "Young Master is wrong. There was a Xiejia Village in this Ailao Mountain before. I grew up in the village. If you don't believe it, just ask the old man around you."
The old coachman frowned and thought hard: "Young Master said this, I do remember that there was indeed a Xiejia Village near Ailao Mountain thirty years ago. Judging from the young master's age, he should be born in Xiejia Village at that time..."
"So that's it," Lin Junxuan nodded: "I wonder if my brother is going to Ailao Mountain with me?"
"No," Xie Pianran shook his folding fan and smiled, "I also want to enjoy the landscape here. I just heard the young master's horse screaming, and I thought I was frightened. I was familiar with Confucian classics, read all the classics and historical notes, and I also knew a little bit of animal language. Maybe I could do some fun with my young master."
"Oh, that's a blessing, brother," Lin Junxuan was very surprised. When he was working as a scholar in the Ziyi Hou Mansion in Lin'an City, he had read many miscellaneous books, but he had not heard of them related to beast language.
Xie Pianran put away the folding fan with a silhouette, walked over, stroked the horse's ear with one hand, gently stroked the horse's eyes with the other, and whispered a few words in a silence. After such an act, it was strange that the two frightened horses quickly calmed down.
"Okay, I can go on the road," Xie Pianran clapped his hands and smiled.
"Thank you," Lin Junxuan bowed his head, thought for a while, and said, "If you don't mind, you might as well walk with me and go to the vicinity of Ailao Mountain."
"No need," Xie Pianran waved his hand and walked to Lin Junxuan: "I have been there, there is nothing to behold. The young master is so majestic and looks extraordinary. Especially the young master has a few swords on his body, with simple shapes and a mesmerizing pattern. I am afraid that there will be some magical swords forged by ancient swords. I was very interested in ancient weapons since I was a child. If you don't mind, you might as well borrow them and take a look."
Xie Pianran had a natural expression, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the direction of his fingers was pointing to the Immortal Killing Sword on Lin Junxuan's back.
Lin Junxuan's heart burst into tears and looked at Xie Pianran carefully. Seeing that he looked calm and had everything in hand, it seemed that he was really interested in weapons.
"Although the four swords of Zhu, Shu, Shen, and Shu are extremely killing, they are only open-minded and morally polite, but they will not be injured by these four swords. If there is really nothing wrong with this, it should be fine even if they hold the four swords of Zhu Xian in their hands." Thinking of this, Lin Junxuan pulled down the sword of Shu Xian on his back and handed it over with both hands: "My brother is interested, so why not take it to take it."
Xie Pianran smiled and stretched out one arm, but just stretched out a few feet, hesitated for a moment, and then took it back: "A gentleman does not take away people's love. This Gu Jian Brother Platform's personal collection must be a favorite thing. I will not borrow it."
"A gentleman is also a beauty that makes people a human being. It's just a borrowed view. Just take it back and forth," Lin Junxuan said, and handed the sword of Killing Immortals forward.
"No need, it is a great blessing for life to be able to see this ancient sword from a distance. By the way, aren't you going to enjoy the mountains and rivers near Ailao Mountain? The terrain is complicated, so you'd better go there early, otherwise, it would be dark soon." Xie Pianran waved his hand and said.
Seeing Xie Pianran's expression firm, Lin Junxuan didn't force it and smiled: "As long as this is the case, I won't force it. Old man, let's go on the road."
"Okay!" Lao Jie responded, clapped his hands and stepped onto the carriage.
Lin Junxuan nodded slightly and then entered the carriage. The old coachman whipped his whip, and with the crisp sound of "pop", the carriage was on track again.
Xie Pianran asked to go to the side of the road, put one hand behind him, and watched the carriage slowly leave, gracefully and gracefully. After the carriage left, Xie Pianran opened the folding fan with a silence, and his face sank.
"It's indeed the Sword Sect's Four Swords of Zhuxian! How could the Sword Sect entrust the Sword Swords to a person outside the sect?" Xie Pianran's eyes kept turning, and his mind was unsteady: "Fortunately, this young man did not master the Sword of Zhuxian, otherwise, the entire demon clan would be subject to him."
‘Swish!’ He swung the folding fan, Xie Pianran turned around and walked towards the forest.
"Young Master, I have a saying that I don't know whether to speak or not," Walking on the road, the old coachman suddenly said to Lin Junxuan through the barrier, and his tone was full of hesitation.
"It's okay for the old man to talk about it," Lin Junxuan said with a smile.
The old coachman was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, I think the scholar just now has some problems."
"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed through Lin Junxuan's eyes: "I wonder why the old man said that?"
"Although the scholar seemed to be fine, I always felt strange. I asked myself with my eyes and saw many people for decades, but none of them was the same as the scholar."
"Why is it different?"
"I'm not able to say it..." The old coachman looked thoughtful and whispered: "I always feel that he... seems to be missing something, but he can't say anything."
"Is there something missing?" Lin Junxuan frowned slightly, feeling thoughtful.
"Well, I always feel that he doesn't look like a human being. Although he speaks no differently from us, he lacks a little... By the way, there is a little less humanity," the old coachman suddenly shouted.
"Human taste!" Lin Junxuan's heart was shocked suddenly when he heard this.
"Yes, it's just a little less humanistic," said the old coachman. "I don't read much, but the world is so great that it's all strange. There are still people who know how to speak beasts. The scholar Xie said that he used to live in Ailao Mountain. I lingered here all my life, and others forgot many things, but I remember. Thirty years ago, there was indeed a village not far from the Ailao Mountain, and it was called Xiejiazhuang. However, thirty years ago, all the people in Xiejiazhuang died overnight. I was in my prime at that time, and I happened to send a pestle there. The name of the scene at that time was so bad. Many people were incomplete. Afterwards, the 385 people in Xiejiazhuang died, and the corpses were there, not many, and there were many. How could there be any descendants of Xie Pianran?"
"Ah!" Lin Junxuan trembled all over. His Taoist craft had advanced to the sixth level, but he didn't feel anything special about Xie Pianran just now. After hearing what the old man said, Lin Junxuan recalled the situation at that time and suddenly felt something suspicious.
"Shu Xianjian, by the way, he seems to be very interested in the Shu Xianjian," Lin Junxuanhuo took out the Shu Xianjian behind him, crossed his knees, and glanced at him.
