This is the fifth time Zhang Xiaoman has come to this dragon viewing platform.
Every time they come, the Ye family will make a pot of fine Yaolin tea.
And every time, he seemed to be able to taste a different flavor from it.
Looking at the main peak shrouded in clouds and mist, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh at the speed of all these changes. It was only half a year, but it seemed like a long time had passed.
After drinking all the water in the tea cup, he stood up, looked at Ye Yunxiu beside him, and asked:
"What is Mr. Ye doing now? I haven't seen him go to Rebirth Island in the past few days. Did something happen to him?"
Ye Yunxiu also stood up and said:
"Thank you Star Master for your concern. The old man has been fine recently. He is in good health. He just suddenly said a few days ago that he wanted to retreat, and then he stayed in the room alone. Apart from food and clothing, we asked us not to disturb him for other things."
"Oh? Seclusion?"
"Yes, I heard that his old man is currently studying a magic method. Now it has reached a critical juncture. He hopes to understand its secrets through retreat."
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head in amusement.
It's obvious that Mr. Ye is thinking about a new dark energy formula. So something like a magic formula, to put it bluntly, is the arrangement of dark energy particles.
I have to say that Mr. Ye's persistence in cultivating immortality is as strong as ever. He has the momentum of "there is no immortal path in the world, I will find it myself".
"Well, since Mr. Ye still has something to do, I won't disturb him. Mr. Ye gave me a big surprise today. He was able to make an analysis in such a short period of time and use this opportunity incident, helped us implement the spokesperson plan... This ability is indeed worthy of praise."
"Star Master is so flattering. These are all judgments I made based on the large amount of information you provided. I would never be able to achieve this level of success by myself."
Ye Yunxiu said modestly.
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said:
"I am relieved that you can help Mr. Ye in the construction of Longmian Mountain. After the things here are settled, why don't Mr. Ye come to the headquarters to help me. With your ability, it is really overqualified to be located in this branch base. ”
Ye Yunxiu was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that this was his chance, but on the surface he remained calm and said:
"Thank you Star Master for the opportunity. Being able to serve in the headquarters is something I've always dreamed of."
Zhang Xiaoman smiled helplessly, shook his head and said:
"You guys, everything is fine. It's just that the way you talk is too retro. I've been communicating with you for a long time, and I've been brought in unknowingly."
Ye Yunxiu also laughed and said:
"What Star Master said does have some truth, but this is also the tradition of our Longmian Mountain. Just like this mountain, it is stretching and long. If you stay here for a long time, it will naturally become a mountain. Part of it.”
While the two of them were talking, they had already reached the cliff of Guanlong Terrace. Looking at the mist-shrouded and winding Longmian Mountains at the foot of the mountain, they were immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery there.
After a long time, Zhang Xiaoman spoke, breaking the silence.
"Mr. Ye, the main peak of Longmian Mountain should be that one. You always pursue the immortal path with Mr. Ye, so I wonder if you have ever experienced the feeling of soaring into the clouds and conquering the void?"
"Teng Yun Yuxu?"
Ye Yunxiu was a little stunned.
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said:
"I came here today. In addition to mobilizing a batch of dragon sleep stones, I also wanted to see Mr. Liu. He is now at the main peak. I want to go find him. Why don't you just come with me?"
After Ye Yunxiu heard what he said, he immediately understood the meaning of his words and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Xing, Star Lord doesn't want to start from here..."
"Yes, if you can trust me, then come with me."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded, then took a step forward, and his figure suddenly fell towards the main peak under the cliff like a light feather.
Behind him, on the cliff, Ye Yunxiu's expression changed one after another. Given his temperament, he couldn't help but panic at this moment.
After all, there is a cliff in front of me, and I am not wearing any protective measures. Stepping out in one step is simply too thrilling.
Thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind, and Ye Yunxiu instantly understood the other party's intention.
This is a test!
It is not only a test of courage, but also a test of trust!
The other party is about to enable me to join the headquarters, so naturally they need to test themselves.
"As expected of the Star Lord, I really didn't expect that he could use this method to test my loyalty."
Ye Yunxiu sighed in his heart, and then looked down at the retreating figure below.
He knew that he could no longer hesitate now, so he immediately gritted his teeth, raised his feet and stepped out.
The imagined feeling of weightlessness did not come, and the body seemed to have become several times lighter, completely ignoring the law of free fall and floating slowly in the air.
When Zhang Xiaoman saw that he had indeed jumped down, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he immediately slowed down and waited for him to catch up.
It didn't take long for Ye Yunxiu and Zhang Xiaoman to maintain a parallel relationship.
He didn't ask the other party how he did it.
Because he knew that the person in front of him was the Lord of the Star Alliance, the person behind the scenes who controlled all these extraordinary powers. It couldn't be easier for the other party to accomplish such a thing.
"In the past, I have always watched the scenery below from the Dragon Observation Platform. Now that I am integrated into this world, it is a completely different experience."
Ye Yunxiu couldn't help but take a deep breath as he watched the beautiful scenery around him, feeling the urge to shout loudly.
However, he was still middle-aged, so he still had some determination. He stayed as calm as possible and talked to Zhang Xiaoman beside him about the recent development of Long Mian Mountain.
In this way, while the two were discussing, they slowly landed in this sky space. The breeze blew across their cheeks, making them feel particularly comfortable.
Zhang Xiaoman used the levitation technique and the introduction of dark energy vibration to successfully fly himself and Ye Yunxiu from the top of the Dragon Viewing Platform to the main peak. The moment the two figures appeared, the people walking around below suddenly His eyes were caught.
"Let me go, is that person Ye Laosan? He, he can actually fly!? And who is the person next to him? It's too far away, I can't see clearly."
"What we have here is indeed the true inheritance of cultivating immortals! Now even Ye Laosan can fly! Oh my God! When will I be able to learn the cultivation techniques? I'm really looking forward to it..."
"Hey, you two are so brave! You know that Uncle Ye is successful in cultivation, but you still dare to call him Ye Laosan here. Don't you know that there is a magic called Shunfeng Er?"
The people who spoke were the disciples who stayed in Longmian Mountain. They were all orphans and had been adopted by the Ye family since they were young. Now after the Ye family merged into the Star Alliance, they were successfully retained to train as reserve talents for the organization in the future. .
However, even though it is a seedling under cultivation, they only know a rough idea of many things, and they do not know the detailed structure of the Star Alliance at all.
Zhang Xiaoman and Ye Yunxiu landed slowly, and they were stopping in a square in the middle of the main peak.
There were disciples around who were looking here curiously, but the changes that had taken place in Longmian Mountain during the recent period were so great, and they had seen many miraculous sights, so they were not so surprised at the moment.
"Xiaoya, have you seen Mr. Liu?"
Ye Yunxiu called a girl and asked.
This girl was one of the two little Taoist priests Zhang Xiaoman met when he first came to Longmian Mountain. At this time, she happened to be cleaning fallen leaves in the middle of the square. She was the closest and her name was called.
"Hello Uncle Ye, hello Mr. Jixing."
Xiaoya first greeted the two obediently, and then answered the question just now.
"Sixth Master took Dahei to Xiaozhulin early this morning, and he hasn't come back yet."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Let's go over and take a look."
Ye Yunxiu said.
The small bamboo forest is actually where the star boundary sign is located, not far from here.
The two immediately headed to their destination, and soon after they walked in, they spotted Pei Laoliu.
He had moved to Longmian Mountain at Zhang Xiaoman's suggestion since the last Master Pei incident. It had been more than a month now.
Longmian Mountain has beautiful scenery, pleasant scenery, and particularly clean air, making it very suitable for elderly people like Pei Laoliu to live.
The most important thing is that Ye Cang, the Awakener, is usually guarding this place. Once the aura of a foreign species appears, he can respond immediately.
In addition to Mr. Liu, the family members of many other members are also arranged here, such as the heroic wife with her children.
Tang Yuan felt that compared with the pollution in Longmian Mountain, it was like a sky and a place.
Although it would be a bit boring on weekdays due to the lack of some entertainment facilities, for the sake of her children, she lives here to endure loneliness.
Of course, to say loneliness is a bit exaggerated.
Although Longmian Mountain is located in the mountainous area around the Camellia Market, at least it has Internet access. She usually watches TV shows and movies, and at least it is not too boring. At most, she can't go out for shopping.
This is much better than Rebirth Island.
As the main base of the Covenant, Rebirth Island is protected by a shield and is rarely threatened by alien species.
But because of the Gate of Hell, it can't connect to the outside world's network. It's quite comfortable to stay there, but it's just boring.
At this time, Pei Laoliu was sitting at a small stone table, stroking the hair of a big black dog under him, and talking nonchalantly.
"Dahei, don't always try to avoid me. I know you are afraid that I will worry about you, but if you just run away without saying a word, wouldn't I be more worried?"
In front of him, the big black dog lay motionless on the ground, with his eyes closed, as if he was dead.
Zhang Xiaoman walked over and stood behind him.
Pei Laoliu stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at the person he was looking at, then rolled his eyes and said unhappy:
"You brat, I'm finally willing to come see your Sixth Master. If you don't come, I'll think you've forgotten me."
Zhang Xiaoman came to sit next to him, grabbed a bunch of peanuts placed on the stone table, put it into his mouth, and said with a smile:
"How can that be possible? I forgot that no one can forget you, Mr. Liu. Haven't you been very busy recently? I took some time to see you today and brought you some of your favorite plum blossoms. Old goose."
When Pei Laoliu heard the word "Lao Goose", his eyes suddenly lit up and he suddenly became energetic again.
"You have a conscience, and you still know how to bring old geese to Liu Ye. Let me tell you, Longmian Mountain is good, but there is no old goose that I want to eat. Do you know how long it has been since I had Liu Ye? What an old goose, you’re almost suffocating me to death!”
Ye Yunxiu on the side felt a little embarrassed and asked:
"Sixth Master, didn't Xiao Liu in the kitchen cook for you? I went out of my way to resist them. Why are you slacking on me again? Let's see if I go back..."
"No, no, no."
Pei Laoliu quickly interrupted him and said:
"You can't blame them. Xiao Liu made it for me, and it's pretty good, but it's just not the taste I want."
Zhang Xiaoman smiled, knowing that Mr. Liu was a tricky person and had no idea how to eat salted goose.
No matter how good the food made by outsiders is, it always seems to lack the taste of hometown. Putting this in Pei Laoliu's mouth, it can be tasted as soon as he eats it.
"Okay, Mr. Liu, don't be greedy. Dinner will be served soon. There will be plenty of time for you to eat to your heart's content."
Pei Laoliu nodded, stood up again, and sighed deeply, looking very worried.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Xiaoman said strangely, and then looked at Dahei lying on the ground, and immediately understood something.
"Is Dahei asleep? Or is he sick? Or something else...?"
"Why……"
Master Liu shook his head and sighed again: "Dahei started to avoid me."
Zhang Xiaoman paused while eating peanuts, confirming his previous guess.
Pei Laoliu sat back on the stone bench, staring intently at the big black dog on the ground, and slowly spoke, with a tone that sounded like emotion and reminiscence.
"Dahei is not the first dog I have raised. I remember I had a little yellow before. It was like this before I left. He avoided me all day long and just went to everyone's place..."
When he said this, he took another long breath, shook his head and said:
"This dog, it also knows that it is about to die. At this time, it will hide from its owner and find a place where no one is around to wait quietly for death. This small bamboo forest is where Dahei especially likes to come recently. Every time this stupid dog goes missing, I will come here to look for it, and I will definitely hit it with the right move..."
Zhang Xiaoman listened to what he said about Dahei, and at the same time he knelt down and reached out to touch his dog's fur, which was a bit messy.
This black dog is quite old. Zhang Xiaoman remembers that when he was ten years old, Mr. Six picked it up from nowhere.
At that time, Dahei was still a little puppy, jumping around behind him all day long and very energetic.
It’s just that time flies by so fast. The little puppy back then turned into a big dog and an old dog in the blink of an eye. The boundless vitality no longer existed. Now, it’s even harder to breathe while lying on the ground.
"How long does it take for Dahei to survive?" he asked.
Pei Laoliu shook his head.
"Maybe I won't survive today."
Zhang Xiaoman sighed, feeling quite touched in his heart.
Although it is just a local dog, there are still people who will feel sad and uncomfortable because of it.
Emotion, maybe this is the value of life.
However, birth, aging, illness and death are themselves part of reincarnation and cannot be changed by human will.
Even if mortals are in pain, shed tears, and feel sorrow, they can only endure it silently...
unless……
