The red sun rises.
Another day.
In the valley, there was the sound of digging stones.
"Bang, bang..."
Under the cliff on the north side of the valley, there is a row of cave entrances. Some people are busy cleaning the gravel inside and outside the cave, some are sitting on the grass in front of the cave to rest, and some are looking up with worried expressions.
In the early morning, Mo Xiao ordered Bian Ji and Che Ju to leave the valley. They must have other errands. Before the two returned, the companions could only wait on the spot, so they dug a cave to have a hiding place.
At noon, the valley returns to silence.
Mo Xiao and Ming Ye retreated to heal their wounds. Pu Tong, Lu Zheng, Chen Qi, and Bai Zhi also went into the cave to rest. Only Ling Chen stayed on duty.
The senior fellow student sat on the grass in front of the cave, twirling his beard with his hands and squinting his eyes, looking helpless. After a while, he stood up and ran towards the ridge not far away.
On the mountain ridge, there was a person sitting.
Since last night, he has been sitting alone like this, motionless, like a cold stone.
Yu Ye didn't want to pay attention to anyone. He just wanted to be alone and quiet for a while.
At this time, he was looking at the gift ring in his hand.
Yu Xin's relic.
The various relics among them come from the common people, Taoism, the sea, or immortality, testifying to Yu Xin's short but busy life.
Although it is inevitable for people to die, they should die appropriately, die openly, and die without regrets.
However, Yu Xin was extremely innocent and unjustly accused. He died unexpectedly due to the reunion of old friends and a conspiracy.
I don’t know if he can return to his hometown, and I don’t know how he can cross the mountains and the vast sea!
This was his fault in the wilderness!
This is another evil of human nature that he has faced!
And what can he, a junior disciple at the fifth level of Qi Refining, do? The endless suspicions and calculations have long made him tired of dealing with it. The pain of refining his heart made him even more tormented. He could only grit his teeth and hold on, firmly believing that good and evil will be rewarded...
"Little junior brother!"
Someone walked up the mountain.
Yu Ye put away his gift ring and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
Under the bright sky, there are floating clouds and rolling mountains, and the scenery is picturesque. What he saw was not scenery, but dull time and wasted years.
Leng Chen sat down and said: "Don't be afraid of the floating clouds, take a broad view of the scenery!"
Yu Ye closed his eyes.
Leng Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Junior brother, you injured Ming Ye and almost broke his thigh, and you beat Chen Qi up in public. It's time to calm down the anger in your heart. Otherwise..." He twirled his beard and continued: "You kill people for a moment, but the consequences are unimaginable. Chen Qi and Ming Ye used the safety of their fellow students as an excuse. Even if they were at fault, even Mo Xiao would have trouble dealing with them when they are out now. You and Ming Ye are in trouble. How can I sit back and watch the reincarnation of heaven when I am so full of grief and anger? Come on -"
He took out an exquisite jade pot and gestured generously: "This pot of fifty-year-old wine is enough to relieve your worries!"
Yu Ye remained indifferent.
Leng Chen carefully opened the wine seal, stretched out his nose and took a deep sniff. He couldn't help but smile, his face was full of intoxication.
Yu Ye still ignored it, but there was an orchid-like fragrance lingering, which immediately made his heart move, and for a while he couldn't stop. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and grabbed the wine bottle and threw it away.
"Oh, I don't dare..."
Leng Chen was startled and hurriedly reached out to snatch it.
Yu Ye raised the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp, then threw the empty wine bottle out.
Leng Chen took the empty wine bottle with a look of pain on his face, and said with great expectation: "Little brother, how does the fifty-year-old wine taste...?"
"What is the taste?"
Yu Ye asked back with a stern face.
"Ouch!"
Leng Chen shook the jug and said regretfully: "I have treasured the fine wine for fifty years, but I am not willing to taste it, but your boy drank it as cold water. It is really a waste of natural resources..."
"belch--"
Yu Ye burped from wine, and a strong fragrance surged into his mouth and nose, like orchids blooming in a deep valley, or the fragrance of fruits, mixed with the precipitation of time, and the mellow taste lingered for a long time. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Good wine!"
"haha!"
Leng Chen felt as if he had met a close friend, stroking his hands and saying happily: "The aroma of wine is recognized, and it is worthy of being a hundred years old. My junior brother is also a drinker, so congratulations!"
"Why are you so happy?"
"Drink the wine in the cup and let go of the worries of the wind and moon; ride the wind to the sky, and the world will be yours to roam!"
"This is just drunken talk!"
"Hey, were you drunk when you were young?"
"If I have a few more bottles of this wine, I might be able to get drunk!"
"A few more pots? Don't even think about it!"
Leng Chen stared, stood up and left as if he could not avoid it. A moment later, his voice came from the valley again——
"The name of wine is to forget things, but it does not fulfill the full potential of wine; after drinking, you forget yourself and yourself, but you can forget all your worries..."
Listening to the experienced emotion and recalling the mellow aroma of the wine, Yu Ye couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile lightly.
Although Leng Chen is a senior brother, he is also a kind elder. He always protects him at critical moments and brings him relief and laughter when he is depressed.
Yu Ye stood up and returned to the valley.
He found himself in front of a mountain wall, raised his hand and flashed a sword light. Driven by the magic formula, the sword light penetrated deep into the stone wall. As the stone fragments flew, a hole gradually took shape.
Although he rarely uses flying swords, he has already mastered various sword-handling techniques. Even if it is not enough to deal with strong enemies, it is more than enough for digging caves.
He took out two more rings and waved them, and all the stone chips in the cave were put into the rings. After throwing the stone fragments far away, a small cave was formed.
"Junior brother, it will be your turn to be on duty in five days!"
Leng Chen was pacing on the grass more than twenty feet away, with a comfortable smile on his face.
Yu Ye nodded.
He got into the hole, found a mattress on the ground, sat cross-legged, and made several restrictions to seal the surrounding area. The excavated cave is only more than ten feet in size, which is enough for rest and cultivation.
Yu Ye looked at the beast control ring in his right hand, took out a few spiritual stones and threw them in, then took out two more spiritual stones and pressed them into his palms, then formed seals with both hands and concentrated for a moment...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Yu Ye remembered Leng Chen's reminder and walked out of the cave in time.
For a month and a half, I was either on the road or encountered constant encounters, and it was difficult to have a peaceful day to practice. Even so, his cultivation is still slowly improving. This was thanks to Jiao Ying's help, and Nai He made a promise for her to build a foundation for ten years.
No matter to others or to himself, he never dares to make promises easily.
And for the sake of Jiao Ying, he could only agree. Regardless of whether the foundation can be built within ten years, we can only go all out!
This place is located deep in the mountains and has many wild animals. Bian Ji and Che Ju left because of something, while Mo Xiao and Ming Ye were in seclusion to heal their wounds. In order to avoid accidents, the remaining six people took turns taking on the important task of guarding in the valley.
In the morning light, a graceful figure stood.
Was Bai Zhi on duty yesterday?
Yu Ye frowned, turned around and walked towards the open space.
In the valley, it was as quiet as ever. When you look up, you can see green grass, blooming wild flowers, gentle breeze blowing on your face, and a stronger feeling of spring.
"Yu Ye..."
Someone is following behind.
Yu Ye walked forward.
As soon as his figure flashed, Bai Zhi blocked his way, then raised his hand to pinch the magic formula, and suddenly there were several loose restrictions around him.
"I have achieved some success in the art of restraint, please give me some advice."
Her bright eyes and white teeth, her smile as bright as a flower, her voice as green as a breath of green, and her slim figure suddenly add a bit of charm to the spring scenery all over the mountain.
Yu Ye rolled his eyes and turned around to leave.
"you……"
Bai Zhi's face stiffened, her smile disappeared, but she reached out her hand to stop her again angrily, and said aggrievedly: "The death of Yu Xin was caused by Chen Qi and Ming Ye. How can you vent your anger on me? And I am also deeply affected by it. You are harmed, but you are helpless. If you can't bear it, how can you protect yourself?" Her chest heaved, her eyes were red, she pursed her lips, and said in a helpless tone: "I don't dare to expect you to avenge me. , I don’t expect you to help me revive the Taoist sect, I just ask you to remember the past friendship and don’t treat a lonely little girl like this!”
Little girl?
Yu Ye's expression was a little bitter.
It was this little woman who caused him so much suffering. Since you can't afford to offend, keep a respectful distance.
And the increasingly angry words sounded again——
"You and I are in a foreign country, and we should be taking care of each other, but you are narrow-minded and arrogant..."
Yu Ye couldn't help but look into the distance and raised his hand to impose a few restrictions. If others hear the conversation here, you will be in big trouble. He turned around and said angrily: "Am I narrow-minded?"
Bai Zhi stared into his eyes and asked, "If that's not the case, why can't you tolerate me?"
"When can I no longer tolerate you?"
Yu Ye blurted out, but suddenly his heart was in confusion, and he hesitated: "I..."
The Bai Zhi in front of her is no longer the reserved and arrogant person she once was, and she is no longer the fairy who refuses to accept others. Instead, she looks like a weak, helpless, and charming little girl. But once this entanglement continues, he seems to have returned to the cliff cave again, with emotions and sorrows at his disposal, and he has no control over where to go.
At this moment, a sneer suddenly sounded in the sea of consciousness——
"Hehe, men rely on their broad-mindedness and like to pity the weak the most. As long as you seize this flaw, anyone will be in chaos!"
Yu Ye's face heated up, and his heart instantly calmed down.
Bai Zhi saw his expression was different and said expectantly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I'm listening!"
"I……"
Yu Ye hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm talking about the art of restraint!" He stretched out his hand to remove the restraint and signaled: "If you want to practice this art, start with the talisman formation first. Senior Sister Bai will try more and you will gain something in the future!"
"..."
Bai Zhi was stunned and silent.
Yu Ye crossed his arms and strode away. After a while, he walked to the ridge and sat down. Once again, I looked far and wide, but I saw that the sky and the earth were high and the scenery was boundless.
Angelica dahurica is still standing in the valley.
Looking at the figure sitting alone, her eyes flickered. There was disappointment, resentment, anger, doubt, and unwillingness in her expression.
It was she who watched him walk out of the mountain village, watched him embark on the path to immortality, and watched him step by step from a mountain boy to a disciple of the immortal sect. But now he is walking farther and farther, making it gradually difficult for her to catch up...
