Early in the morning, the rain finally stopped.

The water droplets on the tree were crystal clear, quietly slid from the edge of the leaves, fell down, because of the wind, drew a beautiful arc in the air, fell on Shaw Danon's face.

The coldness woke Shaw Danon from his dream. He opened his eyes, subconsciously wanted to call out: "Master..." But there was no one around, only Baye lying next to him, having a good dream.

It seemed like a dream.

But the broken Grasstemple in the distance, his playmate sleeping next to him, all told him that it was all real.

He thought for a while in a daze, shook his head, walked over to Lin JingYu and pushed him hard. Lin JingYu mumbled a few words and slowly woke up. He rubbed his eyes and before he could speak, he felt a chill and couldn't help but yawn.

He opened his eyes and saw himself and Shaw Danon were all wet, lying under a pine tree in the wild. He was stunned, said: "Wasn't I sleeping at home, how did I get here?"

Shaw Danon shrugged his shoulders, said: "I don't know, but I am very cold, let's go back."

Baye's mind was full of questions, but his body was really cold. He nodded, got up, and ran toward the village with Shaw Danon.

Before they arrived at the village, the two of them already felt that something was wrong. Usually, by this time, the villagers would have already woken up, but today it was incomparably quiet, not even a shadow could be seen. Moreover, as the morning breeze blew, there was a faint smell of blood.

They looked at each other, saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and hastened their steps toward the village. Not long after, the two of them reached the village entrance. Looking from the main road at the village entrance, they saw that on the flat land in the middle of the village, Grasstemple Village had more than forty families, more than two hundred people, big and small, men and women, all lying on the open ground, their bodies stiff, turned into corpses, blood flowed like a river, flies flew everywhere, the smell of blood assaulted their nostrils.

Baye and Shaw Danon saw this horrible scene, under the shock, screamed and fainted.

After not knowing how long, Shaw Danon suddenly woke up, sat up, panting, his hands slightly trembling. When he fainted just now, his mind was filled with the faces of evil ghosts, blood and white bones. It was really a nightmare.

He calmed himself down and looked around. He saw that he was in an ordinary room with two small windows. The room was simple and clean. There were only a few pine wood tables and chairs with a kettle and cups. Occupying half of the room was a large kang bed connected to each other. There were four beds on it. Other than the bed he was lying on, the bedding next to him was also a little messy, as if someone had just slept in it. As for the other two, their blankets were folded neatly and meticulously.

On the wall directly above the four beds, there was a banner with a large word written on it.

Dao!

From the looks of it, it looked like an ordinary guest room in an inn, or a room shared by a few disciples who were learning from their masters.

Shaw Danon sat for a while, suddenly a thought rose in his mind: Maybe everything last night was a nightmare? Maybe I've been sleeping here all this time? Perhaps when he walked out of this room, his mother would laugh and scold him as usual, "You little lazy worm!"

He slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked towards the door step by step.

The door was unlatched. From the gap of the door, there was a faint breeze blowing in, it was cool.

He walked step by step, but his two little hands were clenched tighter and tighter. His heart was beating so fast that he held his breath. Soon, he walked to the door and put his hand on the door.

At that moment, the wooden door was as heavy as a mountain, as heavy as iron.

He clenched his teeth and steeled his heart. With a creak, he opened the door to his room.

The bright light from outside suddenly shone in, making him squint his eyes. The warm sunlight fell on his body, there was a touch of warmth.

But, his heart, suddenly fell into an icehouse.

Outside the door was a small courtyard. There were a few pine and cypress trees, a few bushes of grass, and a few fragrant flowers, happily blooming. In front of the door was a corridor, leading to the outside of the courtyard. Four feet in front of the door, there were several steps, connecting the courtyard and the corridor.

At the corner of the steps, there was a lonely child, holding his cheek, sitting there, motionless.

Perhaps the sound of the door startled him, the child hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned his head.

Baye.

Shaw Danon opened his mouth wide, there were thousands of questions in his mind, but when the words came to his mouth, they turned into silence.

He wanted to shout again, but his heart was depressed, he could not shout.

Two lines of tears, just like that, quietly, fell.

Two children, just like that, silently, looked at each other.

Far away, a quiet bird cry came, the sky blue, a few white clouds.

Shaw Danon sat on the other side of the steps, head down, looking at the stone path in the small courtyard.

In the small courtyard, it was quiet.

After a long time, Baye slowly said: "I woke up earlier than you, there were a few people in the house, I asked them, this is Mount Jadeon, Peak of Widows."

Shaw Danon whispered: "Mount Jadeon..."

Lin JingYu said, "Heard from them, it was a few Qing Yun disciples who were passing by, saw the village, the village …" Speaking till here, his voice could not help but choked. He rubbed his eyes hard and took a deep breath before continuing, "Later, they found us at the back of the village and brought us up the mountain."

Shaw Danon's mouth moved, but he did not raise his head, said: "What are we going to do, Baye?"

Baye shook his head, sadly said: "I don't know."

Shaw Danon was about to say more, suddenly a strange voice came from the corridor behind him: "Ah, you all woke up?"

Both of them looked back at the same time, saw a young Taoist standing there, wearing a blue Taoist robe, quite heroic. He quickly walked over, said: "Just nice, the masters also want to see you, ask you some questions. Come with me. "

Shaw Danon and Baye looked at each other, stood up, Baye said: "Yes, please lead us there, big brother."

The young Taoist priest glanced at Baye, nodded and said, "Follow me."

Following the Daoist priest, the two of them walked out of the courtyard. In front of them was an even longer and larger circular corridor. Every twenty feet, there was a red pillar. In the middle of every two pillars, there is also an arch.

They walked along the corridor, passed by many arches and pillars, then discovered, in each arch, there is almost the same small courtyard as the one before, seems like this is the living place of Jadeon disciples.

Not to mention other things, just from the scale, there are probably no less than a hundred such small courtyards, showing the number of Jadeon disciples.

After walking for a while, he finally saw the end of this corridor. It was an incomparably tall white wall, and below it was a large door. The two thick wooden doors were ten zhang high, and one would have to raise their head to look at them. It was unknown how such a large piece of wood was found in the first place.

That young Daoist priest turned a blind eye to them. Perhaps he had been going in and out of this place for a long time and had become numb to it. His face did not show the slightest bit of emotion that the two children had. Expressionless, he walked straight out of the door. Shaw Danon and Baye quickly followed.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, the two children held their breath at the same time, could not believe everything in front of them.

This, is almost like the legendary fairyland.

It was a very large square, the ground was paved with white marble, shining brightly. At first glance, it made people feel small and insignificant. Far away, the white clouds, like a veil, are floating under the feet. In the center of the square, every hundred feet, there is a copper cauldron, divided into three rows, three in each row, a total of nine, placed orderly. From time to time, light smoke floated up from the cauldron, the smell is clear and does not disperse.

"Go this way." Seeming to understand the two children's thoughts, the young Taoist's face showed a smile, let them watch for a while, then wake them up and continue to walk forward.

"This is the" Cloud Sea "of Jadeon's Six Sceneries, there is even better ahead!" The young Taoist said while walking.

Baye could not help but ask: "What is it?"

The young Taoist pointed, said: "Rainbow Bridge."

The two looked into the distance, saw far ahead, at the end of the square, behind the misty clouds, there seemed to be something shining. They quickened their pace and walked forward.

Gradually, there was the sound of water, there were also one or two strange thunder-like sounds, not knowing where they came from.

As they got closer, the clouds were like gentle fairies, gently surrounding them, gradually pulling away the veil, revealing the clear face.

At the end of the square, a stone bridge, without a seat or pier, rose into the sky, one end of the bridge was on the square, straight upward, into the depths of the clouds, like a dragon leaping into the sky, proud and aloof. There was the sound of water, under the sunlight, the whole bridge emitted seven colors, like a rainbow in the sky, falling into the world, gorgeous, beautiful.

Shaw Danon and Baye were stunned.

The young Taoist smiled, said: "Follow me." Then, he took the lead and walked on the stone bridge.

Stepping on the stone bridge, the two discovered, on both sides of the bridge, water constantly flowed down, extremely clear, but the middle part was dry. The sunlight shone on the bridge through the clouds, then was refracted by the water, becoming a gorgeous rainbow.

The Taoist looked at their ecstatic appearance, said: "Be careful, under this bridge is a bottomless abyss, if you accidentally fall in, then you will die without a burial place."

Shaw Danon and Baye were surprised. They quickly calmed down and walked carefully.

This Rainbow Bridge was extremely high and long, the three of them walked on it, only to feel the clouds on the left and right gradually sank under their feet, as they went higher and higher. But the strange sound in front of them was still coming.

After a while, the clouds thinned, they walked out of the sea of clouds, the eyes suddenly brightened, the sky was clear, blue like transparent. The sky on all sides, vast and boundless; below was the vast sea of clouds, gently floating. Looking at it, their hearts suddenly felt relaxed.

And in front of them is the peak of Peak of Widows, where the main hall of Jadeon Temple, "Crystal Hall" is located.

The green mountains were green, the palace was majestic, the 'Crystal Hall' was located at the peak, surrounded by clouds, from time to time there were a few cranes, flying over with long cries, circling in the air, like a celestial spiritual realm, making people feel reverence.

At this time, the Rainbow Bridge no longer rose, making an arch in the air, landed in front of the hall next to a green pool. At the same time, Taoist songs were faintly heard from Crystal Hall, the atmosphere of immortals. And the strange sound, also became louder.

The three of them walked down the Rainbow Bridge, came to the pool, a wide stone stairs, from the pool to the door of Crystal Hall. The pool water was green, clear like a mirror, the shadows of people and mountains could be clearly seen.

They walked up the stone stairs, about to go to the door above, suddenly heard a roar from deep in the pool, like thunder, it was the strange sound from before. Looking around, they saw a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the pool, a moment later, a huge wave rolled up, a huge figure jumped out, water splashed all over the sky.

The young Taoist seemed to be prepared, his left hand pulled, his body floated in the air, quickly floated back more than two feet, stopped in mid-air. But how could the two children escape? They were immediately drenched like drowned rats.

However, the two of them didn't notice their own situation at all. They only stared blankly at the colossus that had appeared in front of them. It was over 15 meters tall, with the head of a dragon and the body of a lion. Its entire body was covered in scales, and it had a huge mouth and two sharp fangs that flickered under the sunlight. Its appearance was hideous and terrifying.

The monster shook its body, and another wave of water splashed over. Then, as if it had discovered something, it stretched its giant head towards the stairs.

Shaw Danon and Baye saw that the monster's head was much bigger than both of them. Under the sunlight, the sharp teeth were clearly visible. Watching it getting closer and closer, their hearts were really scared. They couldn't help but stick close to each other, their hearts beating fast.

At this time, the young Taoist floated back, one palm in front of his chest, respectfully said: "Master Spirit, they are specially summoned by the masters."

The monster stared at him, with a "chi" sound, snorted, its pair of big eyes rolled, like a human thinking. Then it ignored the three people, staggered to the side, lay down on the dry ground next to the pool, yawned, lazily put its head down, basked in the sun, and fell asleep.

The young Taoist signaled the two people to continue walking, said: "Master Spirit is an ancient beast that our faction's Master Green Leaf tamed a thousand years ago, called 'Water Kirin'. At that time, Master Green Leaf brought glory to Jadeon, subdued the demons, it contributed a lot. Now it is our Jadeon's guardian spirit beast, respectfully called 'Master Spirit'. "

Then, he saluted to the Water Kirin. Shaw Danon was lost in thought, but was pulled by Baye. Seeing Baye winked at him, they also saluted to the Water Kirin respectfully. But the Water Kirin did not turn its head, did not move, but snored loudly, probably could not see it.

After the three people saluted, they continued to walk. Walking through the high stone stairs, they could see the golden board, written with three words: "Crystal Hall". Coming to the front of the grand hall, the door was wide open, inside was full of light, worshiping Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun, the three Pure Deities, the atmosphere was solemn.

And in front of the deities, in the hall, stood dozens of people, some Taoists and some common people, seemed to be Jadeon's disciples. In front of them, there were seven large sandalwood chairs, three on the left and three on the left and one in the middle, but there were only six people sitting on it, only the last chair on the right row was empty.
