Lie Ping Hei Lian was promoted by being a salted fish

The sudden arrival of the black clouds surprised everyone watching.

Celestial phenomena are celestial phenomena, how can they be accompanied by thunder disasters?

Never seen it.

For a moment, there was a murmur of discussion around.

Ji Mu looked at the black cloud and felt something was wrong:

"Master, look at this..."

Ji Chengfeng remained calm:

"Your junior sister's cultivation method is complicated, and she has been sleeping for a hundred years. What she learned in the first half of her life also indicates that her celestial phenomena are not simple."

Ji Mu didn't say anything. He remembered the sound of the ghosts in the underworld...

I have to say that both of Sheng Hongyi's masters were very calm.

The same thing happened to Sheng Ping. When Sheng Yunfan couldn't stand it anymore and asked Sheng Ping about it, Sheng Ping didn't even explain:
"You still don't know your own daughter. Who knows what skills she has secretly learned outside? As for the celestial phenomenon, if it can appear, it means she is very capable and has learned well. As for what will appear..."

"Let's see."

At Zhengyi Peak, Ling Yue was about to speak when Sect Leader Songya spoke directly, as if he had eyes behind him:
"Shut up and just watch."

I've already said it, this is just the beginning.

Ling Yue was really making a fuss out of nothing.

What happened to the black cloud?
As for whether it is thunder?

Not necessarily yet.

No matter how much discussion there was on the ground, it could not stop the speed at which the celestial phenomenon took shape.

The white cranes are still dancing in the sky, some scattered, some gathered together, looking so leisurely.

The nine cranes are either in a row or in groups of three or five. If you ignore the black cloud, it looks like a fairyland scene.

The crane has been a Taoist auspicious animal since ancient times, symbolizing beautiful meanings such as indifference, elegance, holiness, and freedom.

Nine is the extreme number. One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Three threes make nine, which can represent the three worlds of heaven, earth and man.

The sight of the nine cranes dancing alone is an auspicious sign among all celestial phenomena.

Such celestial phenomena are enough to show the recognition of this person by Heaven. Not only Heaven, but perhaps the three realms of heaven, earth and man recognize her.

Therefore, those who can obtain such a celestial phenomenon will have a bright future.

Not to mention the Mahayana, even ascending to heaven may be just around the corner.

But what kind of change did the sudden appearance of black clouds represent?

Ordinary cultivators could not discern the profound meaning of the auspicious sign of the Nine Cranes Picture, but experienced cultivators like Song Ya would surely be able to figure it out.

Although Song Ya didn't allow Ling Yue to speak, he was also nervous.

It is hard to define what will happen next.

The black clouds were still there, but there was no thunder following them.

We waited for a long time, and the sky was still peaceful.

The nine cranes finished their dance, and then they surrounded the black cloud and dived into it together.

In the blink of an eye, from the outside, it looked like black clouds had swallowed up the Nine Cranes.

Everyone exclaimed in amazement. Not to mention seeing it with their own eyes, even those who were well-read had never seen such a celestial phenomenon.

What is this for?
There was a gleam in Sheng Ping's eyes, it was coming.

Sure enough, Jiuhe entered the black cloud, and just as everyone was in an uproar, the black cloud suddenly dispersed.

Nine cranes flew out, and each crane had a lotus in its beak!

Lotus is also a noble creature, but this lotus is black!

Of course, there were people inside and outside the Xuanchen Sect who saw all of this.

Especially Baixia City, although it is a bit far away, many people still pay attention to the celestial phenomena.

When the white crane came out with the black lotus in its beak, someone recognized the black lotus at a glance.

Others may still be pondering it, but it will be different in the eyes of those who are interested.

Black Lotus?
The people of the Demon Realm remembered the legend of the Holy Lotus that had been passed down for more than a hundred years...

The more they couldn't find any trace, the more panicked people became.

White Lotus Saves the World...

Black Lotus Destroys the World...

Does this mean that the Black Lotus has appeared?

In the city, a black bird of joy flew out silently. It was a kind of messenger commonly used in the world of immortal cultivation to transmit information. It could travel a thousand miles a day, and some people raised it specifically to transmit information.

Message talismans are divided into different grades. Low-grade ones cannot transmit far or there is a high probability of errors in transmission, while high-grade ones do not have this problem, but they are expensive and in short supply.

This happy bird, on the other hand, flies fast and high, has high accuracy, and can be used multiple times.

Inside the door, surprise and confusion continued to spread. Black Lotus? !

"Master!"

Ling Yue still couldn't help it.

Songya was silent.

Among lotuses, white and golden lotuses are the most respected. How could there be a black lotus?

Taoism does not give any special meaning to lotus.

In Buddhism, lotus is a sacred object.

Buddha smiled and picked up a flower.

One flower, one world; one leaf, one Tathagata.

The flower here is lotus.

Thinking of how much attention Lian Chi paid to Hongyi.

Could it be that Lian Chi already knew that this child had a affinity with Buddhism and taught her some Buddhist skills in private?

In fact, Jingke is just a cover. Does the old man Lianchi want to snatch Hongyi to the Buddhist sect?
Then this celestial phenomenon...

The more Songya thought about it, the uglier his expression became.

He stared at the black lotus carefully.

With the naked eye, it can be seen that the lotus seems to be covered with a layer of ethereal fairy mist.

Even though it was black, it didn't make people feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, as he looked at it, Song Ya narrowed his eyes and released his spiritual sense. He wanted to take a closer look.

Songya's spiritual sense was very restrained and he did not get too close to Xiushui Peak.

In the territory of Xuanchen Sect, especially on a peak where a Nascent Soul cultivator is stationed, if there are disciples undergoing tribulation or any unusual phenomena, each peak will provide protection.

Ji Chengfeng has been indifferent for many years, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to protect his own peak.

Even ordinary disciples can get protection on a peak with an owner, not to mention that the person inside who triggered such a celestial phenomenon is the direct disciple of the peak master.

Yes, others did not know, but when the nine cranes started dancing, Songya had already determined who this celestial phenomenon belonged to.

He knew that Sheng Hongyi was in seclusion.

Moreover, he also knew the specific situation of Xiushui Peak.

Although, when I saw that child yesterday, he had no cultivation at all, it was really incredible that a celestial phenomenon suddenly appeared when he was in seclusion today.

However, from the child's experience, it can be seen that she is indeed a person with good fortune.

His spiritual consciousness wandered, and he indeed sensed a lot of spiritual aura.

We are all brothers and sisters who grew up together in Xuanchen Sect, so we know each other well.

No matter what you think at this moment, who doesn't want to take a closer look?

Compared to their cautiousness, there was also spiritual consciousness lingering on Xiushui Peak, so they were much more open and aboveboard.

If the others were puzzled about the appearance of Black Lotus, only Ji Mu felt a little uneasy.

The story of the Black Lotus has been around for a long time. He and his junior sister have traveled together for more than 50 years, so how could he not know that the Black Lotus has some vague connection with his junior sister? When Ji Chengfeng wanted to study the astronomical phenomena of his apprentice, he did not forget to discuss it with Ji Mu:
"Eh, it's actually a black lotus? It's rare."

However, after the words were spoken, there was no response for a long time.

When Ji Chengfeng turned around, he saw that Ji Mu seemed to be looking at the sky, but in fact, his eyes were empty.

"Ji Mu?"

Ji Chengfeng called his disciple, and Ji Mu just came back to his senses, and saw his master looking at him gently.

Ji Mu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react. He turned his attention back to the celestial phenomena:

"Master, this celestial phenomenon is indeed strange, but whether it is the crane or the lotus, they are both auspicious sights, so there is really no need to worry too much."

Ji Chengfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and said "hmm" in an ambiguous tone.

He already knew in his heart that these two little ones must be hiding something from him.

Especially Ji Mu, who grew up in front of him since his early years. How could he not know how many intestines he has?

Look at what he said. Not only did he answer the question irrelevantly, but he just called it Black Lotus. Why did he deliberately drop the word "black" and only emphasize "lotus"?
Hum, so Ji Mu must actually know something.

In this way, Ji Chengfeng's originally anxious heart was relieved a little.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust his second daughter, his apprentice, he stands on her side 100%.

Doesn’t he know that the spiritual consciousness outside is paying attention to him?
At this moment, the meaning of this celestial phenomenon is still unclear. Even if we take a step back and say that this celestial phenomenon has a bad meaning, he will still argue with everyone and do everything he can to protect his apprentice's reputation.

Even if by any chance, Red-clothed Man was treated differently because of this incident, he would stand by his disciple.

This has nothing to do with anything else. Some people say that Ji Chengfeng upholds the demeanor of a gentleman and is a modest gentleman, but he doesn't think so.

He is actually no different from any ordinary old man in the world.

Have your own preferences and selfish desires.

Let’s not talk about preferences, everyone has desires, it’s a weakness and it’s also normal.

As for his selfish motives, his selfish motives were not on the Ji family, but on his two disciples.

He is the most protective of his own people.

Even if his apprentice has thousands of weaknesses, he can mutter and tease him in private, but he will not tolerate malicious slander from others.

Even if what you say is the truth, it is still "malicious"!
However, precisely because he is his own disciple, he cares about him the most.

But seeing Ji Mu's attitude, he felt relieved.

Although Ji Mu is cold and indifferent to outsiders, he is very considerate and caring towards his family.

Since he knew about the Black Lotus, he didn't mention it, and even his master didn't know about it.

The reason might be that this matter was related to the secret of her junior sister. Another reason was that in his opinion, this matter would only benefit his junior sister and not cause any harm.

And Hongyi was the smartest one. He had always known about the complicated things she had learned.

In fact, before he met Sheng Hongyi, he knew that she was a member of the Sheng family and a disciple of Sheng Ping, so he knew that Sheng Hongyi could never be an "honest" child.

Because Sheng Ping doesn't like "honest" children.

Was Sheng Ping a good person when he was young?

The reason why he is called the Scholar of a Hundred Faces is because he has many tricks and no taboos. As long as they are useful, he will use them at will and never be picky about where these tricks come from.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, no matter whether it is Taoism, demons, Buddhism, monsters or ghosts, as long as he can learn it, he will learn it.

When he was young, Baimian Shusheng was both good and evil, with a particularly strange and arrogant personality. He kept to himself, and even if he had a few friends, they were not "righteous" people.

People like this never accepted any apprentices when they were young.

With his personality, it is very likely that he has never taken a liking to her.

When he was very old, he suddenly accepted a disciple.

This disciple must be very pleasing to the eye.

A small clue can reveal a big picture. Can Sheng Hongyi be well-behaved?

Therefore, her methods are roughly the same as Shengping's.

Taoism, demons, Buddhas, monsters, ghosts...?

Ji Chengfeng had an idea in mind and began to think about the black lotus.

What does the black lotus represent?

The consciousness of many people was circling around the strange vision.

As he got closer, he discovered that there seemed to be a dark glow hidden on the black lotus.

Just by observing with spiritual consciousness, one can clearly feel that they are different from the white cranes.

The white cranes give you a fairy-like scene.

When you get closer, it's as if there's heavenly music echoing in your ears.

However, the black lotus is clearly still in the white crane's mouth, giving the viewer a completely different feeling.

It doesn't seem so when viewed from a distance, but the closer you look at it, especially when staring at the black lotus, you will actually feel a sense of danger as if you are on the edge of an abyss.

Ji Chengfeng is already in the Nascent Soul stage, and even with his level of cultivation, his consciousness inevitably seems to fluctuate slightly. He becomes alert and immediately calms his mind before he can stabilize his consciousness.

It was only after he realized it belatedly that he felt surprised.

Is this the feeling just by staring?

It is unheard of that other people's astronomical phenomena can have such a big impact on the people watching.

Especially for high-level monks like them.

The reason why celestial phenomena can attract so many people to watch is, first of all, its rarity. Another point is that, like a natural disaster, it may allow the observers to gain something, learn from experience, or even have an epiphany...

After all, opportunities are elusive, and who knows if it may be hidden in someone's celestial phenomena or natural disasters. Maybe you can reach the sky in one step. Even if not, it's good to get some good luck.

However, the higher the level of cultivation, the smaller the impact of celestial phenomena and natural disasters on the cultivator.

At this stage, they have no doubt about which path they are taking. No matter their state of mind, understanding of the world, or the experiences they have had, they are not easily swayed by it.

The opportunity they need to climb up is even more elusive and hard to find.

Ji Chengfeng did not retreat. He calmed himself down and continued to observe.

This time, slowly, the sense of danger as if on the edge of an abyss gradually disappeared. Looking at Hei Lian again, his face froze at first, and then an expression of surprise and ecstasy that was difficult to conceal appeared on his face.

Following his spiritual sense, he felt an unpredictable force suddenly penetrate into his mind.

Then, a certain part of the sea of ​​consciousness was like a blockage that was cleared, and from then on, the water flowed out rapidly.

Deep in his sea of ​​consciousness, he clearly heard a roar, as if heavenly music was playing in his sea of ​​consciousness.

This is... the sound of the sea of ​​consciousness expanding.

For some unknown reason, just by observing the celestial phenomena of his disciple, the strength of his sea of ​​consciousness was greatly reduced.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, Ji Chengfeng would never have believed it.

Such opportunities may seem silent, but they actually have far-reaching impacts.

It can be said that this time, with the opportunity, his sea of ​​consciousness and cultivation were put on par with each other, and his sea of ​​consciousness became stronger than his cultivation.

When he advances in the future, at least next time, he will be more confident in dealing with the inner demon calamity.

He resisted the urge to go back and retreat, his mind racing. Not to mention the people at Xiushui Peak, they were all his own people. Could it be that those old guys outside had also gotten the chance?

If that were the case, he would be unhappy.

Many people are born with a miracle that only happens once in their lifetime. How could it be easy for his disciple to have such a chance?

These outsiders all came here by chance. If they sucked up all the luck from the celestial phenomena, wouldn’t he have no disciples?
As it turned out, Ji Chengfeng was overthinking.

Songya didn't get any chance.

He sensed the danger emanating from the black lotus, but upon closer inspection, the black lotus also gave him a sense of holiness that was out of reach?!

He withdrew his consciousness, stood on Zhengyi Peak and thought deeply, muttering in a low voice:

"Such a celestial phenomenon?"

What does that mean?!
