After Ye Junze and Lin Xin walked inside, the illusory entrance to the cave gradually disappeared.
If someone were standing outside and observing at this moment, they would be able to see that everything had returned to smoothness, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, in such a remote and gloomy place, no one should come here.
After walking inside and stopping, Ye Junze and Lin Xin raised their heads at the same time and looked at the retreat place in front of them.
Although the middle-aged monk said that this was a place where he practiced retreat, it was generally very simple and simple, with only some relatively simple furnishings and some cooking utensils for making fires for cooking.
Rather than saying that this is a retreat, it is more appropriate to say that it is a cave that has been carved out.
But as they followed the middle-aged monk deeper and deeper into the cave, their impression of the place changed again. What I saw was no longer so dark and narrow, but instead became suddenly brighter.
Not only that, but the scene they saw also changed.
What you see upon entering is a lush scene. The slender willows are fluttering in the wind, and there are green grass and colorful flowers below. Just looking at it gives people a feeling of vitality, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
Ye Junze and Lin Xin looked closely and could see a crystal clear pool surrounded by willows.
Especially when the breeze blows, the willow branches are blown up and then reflected in the pool, which is quite poetic.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Junze inexplicably thought of a famous phrase - where are you sober today? On the bank of willows, the dawn wind wanes and the moon falls.
Doesn’t this kind of scene fit the artistic conception of Liu Yong’s poems?
Ye Junze and Lin Xin did not expect that when they first came in, it was still so simple and simple, but after entering the depths, the style of painting suddenly changed, and there was something special inside.
Seeing Ye Junze and Lin Xin look a little shocked, the middle-aged monk smiled and asked: "How are you two? The scenery in my retreat is not bad, isn't it?"
Lin Xin smiled and said with a smile: "It's very good. It's a treasure land of Feng Shui. No wonder you, senior, would choose to practice in seclusion here."
Ye Junze also nodded slightly and agreed: "The scenery here is indeed beautiful."
When the middle-aged monk heard this, the smile on his face became even bigger. He waved his hands gently and said, "You two can sit wherever you like. Don't be formal. It just so happens that we can sit down and have a chat."
The middle-aged monk said and sat down directly on the ground.
When Ye Junze and Lin Xin saw this, they sat down on the ground without any hesitation.
The middle-aged monk looked at the two people and asked aloud: "Since these two young friends have the ability to see through the restrictions I have placed here, they must be monks, but I don't know where they are from?"
"We are students of Anze College." Lin Xin responded with a smile: "This time we are also going out to practice under the instructions of the school to increase our knowledge."
"That's it." The middle-aged monk nodded slightly to show his understanding, and sighed softly: "It's Anze College, no wonder."
Lin Xin looked at the other party and asked, "Senior, where are you?"
The middle-aged monk waved his hand gently, as if he didn't want to say more, and just responded: "I, a casual cultivator, am not worth mentioning."
After saying that, he changed the subject and asked, "What do you call the two little friends?"
When the two heard this, they immediately told each other their names.
"Ye Junze."
"Lin Xin."
The middle-aged monk nodded in understanding and said with a smile: "Little friend Ye Junze, little friend Lin Xin."
Lin Xin nodded lightly, then looked at him and asked, "Senior, where are you? What should I call you?"
The middle-aged monk smiled slightly and responded aloud: "You two little friends, just call me Mingjun."
Ye Junze and Lin Xin heard this and immediately
Then they shouted in unison: "Senior Mingjun."
After the two parties had a general understanding, Ye Junze asked the doubts in his heart, "Senior Mingjun, where is this place?"
Mingjun waved his hand gently and said in a deep voice: "It's just a random cave I found on Lindan Mountain. I originally thought it was remote enough that no one would come here. I even added it specifically There were several layers of restrictions, but I didn’t expect that you two would still find me.”
"Those restrictions are just to hide my secluded place, and there is no danger. It concerns ordinary people, so I can clearly distinguish the serious from the serious. The worries you two had before were actually a bit too much."
Hearing what senior Mingjun said, a look of embarrassment appeared on the faces of Ye Junze and Lin Xin. They looked at Mingjun with apologetic expressions, ready to express their apology again.
But before they could say anything, Mingjun waved his hand and said slowly: "Of course, I don't blame those who don't know. There are reasons for everything, so naturally I won't blame you."
Lin Xin smiled and said softly: "Thank you, senior, for not pursuing the matter with us."
At this moment, Ye Junze became concerned about another issue. He looked at Mingjun and asked: "Logically speaking, the area of this cave is not very large. How is this done?".
When Mingjun heard this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand and responded: "It's not a big deal, it's just that some formation methods were used to achieve the effect of Mustard Seed Sumeru here. What you see here I also transplanted the flowers, plants and trees from Lindan Mountain."
Ye Junze and Lin Xin looked surprised, nodded slightly, and sighed in unison: "So that's it, senior is really powerful."
"It's just a little trick, it won't make any difference." Mingjun shook his head slightly, chuckled, turned to look at Ye Junze and said: "Since you are also well versed in formations, you must also know that this kind of thing is not difficult. Do it."
Ye Junze quickly waved his hand vigorously and responded with a smile: "Senior, you are just joking. I am just a beginner. I have not studied formations for a long time. I will definitely not be as good as you, senior."
Mingjun waved his hand gently and said, "Don't be humble. Being able to break the restrictions I left behind shows that your formation skills are quite impressive."
Seeing that Mingjun spoke so highly of himself, Ye Junze felt a little embarrassed. He just shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything more.
Lin Xin on the side quickly changed the subject and said: "Senior Mingjun, why are you practicing in seclusion here?"
"To be honest, my cultivation has been in the late stage of pill formation for a long time." Mingjun's eyes showed a look of memories, and pictures seemed to flash through his mind. He said in a solemn tone. : "But after all these years, I have never understood the method of breaking through the Nascent Soul."
Hearing what Mingjun said, Ye Junze and Lin Xin's expressions gradually became serious, and they listened carefully to what Mingjun said.
Although they have not yet reached the realm of Mingjun, it may not be long before they reach the later stage of pill formation and reach perfection. And what Mingjun said now was an extremely valuable experience for them. If you listen now, you may avoid many detours in the future.
Having said this, Mingjun paused for a moment, then continued: "But just a while ago, I suddenly had a sudden impulse, and my cultivation seemed to be uncontrollable, and I always felt that the time for a breakthrough had arrived. So I thought Find a place to clean up in order to seek opportunities for breakthrough."
As soon as Mingjun finished speaking, Ye Junze and Lin Xin's eyes lit up instantly, because they knew that the most critical thing was coming.
"It is precisely because of this that I found this cave in Lindan Mountain." Mingjun did not pay much attention to the reactions of the two of them, and continued on his own: "I have been in seclusion here for a long time. Then This feeling of breakthrough is getting stronger. Maybe after a while, I can try to hit the Nascent Soul realm."
Lin Xin nodded gently and said with a smile: "Then congratulations in advance, senior."
Ye Junze also said blessings
: "I wish you, senior, a speedy pregnancy and a smooth breakthrough."
Mingjun smiled and nodded, and said in a relaxed and cheerful tone: "Then let me borrow some good words from my two friends."
After explaining clearly the causes and consequences of his seclusion here to practice, Mingjun looked at Ye Junze again and said slowly: "Just now I observed that there was an extremely sharp wave of sword intent coming out of little friend Ye Junze's body. You must be the same. A sword cultivator?"
Now that Mingjun had noticed it, Ye Junze had no intention of hiding it anymore. He chuckled, nodded slightly and said, "Senior has a keen eye, and I can't hide anything from you. I am not talented, but I do know a little bit." Kendo fur.”
Mingjun laughed heartily a few times, nodded slightly and said, "Let me just say, as a swordsman, my perception of the same kind will not go wrong."
Mingjun said, without waiting for Ye Junze and Lin Xin to respond, the conversation suddenly changed: "Let's do this, you compete with me in swordsmanship. Regardless of winning or losing, I will use the formation skills I have mastered in recent years. I give it to you, hoping it can give you some inspiration."
Hearing this, Ye Junze and Lin Xin couldn't help turning their heads and looked at each other. Both of them saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes, and they did not expect that senior Mingjun's topic would change so abruptly and unexpectedly.
But soon, Ye Junze calmed down his surprised emotions. He turned to look at Mingjun and responded loudly: "Senior, I have a request, and I don't dare to refuse. I just hope that senior will be gentler and don't let me lose too ugly."
Mingjun showed a faint smile, waved his hands gently and said, "Don't worry, let's practice swordsmanship until the end. I won't bully you, so I'll just attack with the same level of cultivation as you."
He said, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Perhaps your arrival is also destined to happen, and will become a part of my breakthrough in cultivation. Maybe after my swordsmanship with you today, I You will also be inspired to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.”
Hearing what Mingjun said, Ye Junze clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Then it's better for me to be respectful than obey my orders."
Mingjun stood up, pointed to the water pool over there, and said, "Let's go and spar over there. There is a formation protection there, so you don't have to worry about destroying my place of retreat."
Ye Junze also stood up and responded with a smile: "I listen to my seniors."
Mingjun looked at Lin Xin, waved his hand gently and said, "Little friend Lin Xin, just watch from here to avoid being accidentally hurt."
After saying that, Mingjun tapped his toes lightly on the ground and flew towards the pool.
Lin Xin looked at Ye Junze and warned, "Junior, be careful."
Ye Junze nodded lightly and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, senior, I'm measured."
After saying that, Ye Junze waved slightly to Lin Xin, and then without saying anything more, he followed Mingjun towards the water pool.
