With the experience of being attacked in the wilderness, Li Xiuyuan cleaned up the items in the eight-person space ring, leaving only the elixirs and spirit stones, and did not dare to leave any other items.
The eight people's spiritual swords and long knives were all thrown into the space ring, and then they walked to the creek, dug a deep pit, and buried all the space rings under the sand and gravel.
The small stream in the mountain flows continuously day and night, naturally cutting off the treasure-hunting monks who come to the mountain to explore.
As long as his breath is not exposed, he can pretend not to know anything after coming down the mountain.
The worst thing is, just let someone beat you up and not fight back.
By the time he finished cleaning his body, the flames in the pit had been extinguished. With the splashing mud, Di Xiuyuan flattened the pit and restored it to its original state.
It's spring now, and after a spring rain, grass will grow here.
After the talisman fire burned, it also isolated the breath of the eight people. No one would know that a life and death battle had just happened here, and there was a faint trace of ashes buried under the green grass.
After handling everything, Li Xiuyuan left here, walked along the creek, and found a small-looking cave under a cliff.
Before he could walk in, a spring thunder rumbled in the air, and then it started to rain.
...
The small building listened to the spring rain all night.
Li Xiuyuan didn't have a peaceful life that night. He didn't know whether it was because of the man in black or because he absorbed the evil spirit in the mountains.
He has a fever!
He, who was already invulnerable to all poisons back then in Tianshan, actually developed a fever.
This was the second time he had an inexplicable fever. The first time was in Monk Poxu's cave on Tianshan Mountain. After that high fever, he completely forgot about Dongfang Yu'er in the Territory Lord's Mansion.
This time he was awake, but his body felt very uncomfortable.
Every day, I feel groggy and unable to lift my spirits. I just lie on the animal blanket, opening my eyes blankly from time to time, looking at the occasional spring rain outside.
He thought that the grass on the mountain should be a little taller and the creek in the mountain should be full of water. At this moment, he suddenly missed the old ape and the old wolf who left back then.
When I had a high fever that year, two old people were by my side, as well as Xiaobai, who had not transformed.
Or was it Xiao Qing who later transformed into a blue bird and came to the mountain to save his life...
But this time, he had to lie in the cave for seven days and face it alone.
On the eighth day, having recovered some strength, he leaned against the entrance of the cave with his animal blanket and looked at the spring breeze, thinking that this time he really had a narrow escape from death.
First, he was plotted during his ascension, and coupled with the power of time and space traveling through the black hole, he suffered more injuries.
Later, I finally had enough time to recuperate and go down the mountain. I met eight deadly men in black again.
He thought that none of this was a problem and that he would be fine as long as he left here and went down the mountain. But he suddenly fell seriously ill for no apparent reason after sleeping in this cave?
Is it possible to forget what happened on the Shura battlefield?
Before he could think about it, a young man shouted from the mountain: "Elder brother, there is someone in front of you!"
In just an instant, a boy about eight years old appeared in front of the cave. He was startled when he saw Li Xiuyuan leaning outside the cave.
Then he shouted: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
A high fever burned up Li Xiuyuan's energy. He looked as skinny as a stick and had long since lost his human form.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the young man in front of him and shook his head feebly. He wanted to say something but couldn't.
Then I remembered that I had not drank water for several days.
The young man looked at his appearance and quickly took his own water bottle and handed it over...
Following the boy's shout, a young man about twenty years old floated over. Looking at Li Xiuyuan at the entrance of the cave, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Elder brother, come here and see this brother..." The young man turned to look at the young man behind him and said.
"How could there be someone on Tianhuang Mountain? It's incredible." The young man looked at Li Xiuyuan and shook his head, then stepped forward and reached out to reach his forehead.
"You are so lucky that you dare to spend the night in this barren mountain." The young man looked at Li Xiuyuan and said calmly.
Li Xiuyuan took the young man's water bottle and took a sip. He looked at the young man and smiled bitterly, but he was still speechless.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that my internal organs have been corroded by the evil spirits of the mountains. Come down the mountain with us..."
The young man investigated for Li Xiuyuan and asked him to put away the items on the ground for Li Yuan. He stretched out his arms and carried Li Xiuyuan behind him, and then went down the mountain.
Seeing his elder brother carrying Li Xiuyuan away, the young man responded and put away the animal blanket and other items on the ground, followed behind him like a wisp of smoke, and headed down Tianhuang Mountain.
...
Seeing that the visitor had no ill intentions, Li Xiuyuan leaned on the young man's back and fell asleep again.
Apart from some spiritual stones, he doesn't have any treasures on his body, so he is not afraid of being remembered.
I don't know how long it took, but when he woke up, it was already late.
He felt that he was in a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist again. There were different palaces scattered in the mountain. This was obviously the location of a large sect.
Strangers came to the mountain, and many monks came to watch the fun. However, when they saw Li Xiuyuan lying in the bamboo hut, they all shook their heads and turned away.
They were so disappointed. They didn't expect a mortal to come to the fairy mountain, and there was nothing curious about it.
The young man didn't take it seriously, and asked him to take care of the sick Li Xiuyuan every day, saying that meeting him on the mountain was considered a fate, and it was a miracle that he survived.
In the days that followed, Li Xiuyuan learned that the boy's name was Ping'an, and that his senior brother was Wang Qiang... This is Tianyun Mountain, one of the four holy places in the Xuanwu Continent.
Tianyun Mountain has always been a holy land longed for by monks in the northern area of Loulan, and it is also the largest sect in the northern area of Xuanwu Continent.
In the bamboo house, Li Xiuyuan slept deeply for another ten days, then dragged his thin body and leaned under the eaves to watch the spring breeze.
"Peace, spring is coming to an end, right?"
The wind brought a slightly hot breath, and Li Xiuyuan wondered, is spring already gone and summer is approaching?
Don't you know that the moment Li Xiuyuan walked out of the bamboo hut, there was a faint blue light rising into the sky, which shocked the experts on several mountain peaks to open their eyes.
Countless rays of divine light looked down the mountain from the main hall on the peak. After scanning around, they could not see any results.
In desperation, I had to give up.
Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting under the eaves, looked at Wang Qiang who had returned with Ping An. He stood up and clasped his hands to express his thanks: "I was in trouble this time. Thank you for saving me!"
Wang Qiang came over and sat down, smiling lightly and saying, "I'm just taking you back with Ping An, so don't worry about it."
Ping An looked at the two men and shook his head, then went to fetch water and boil it for tea.
Li Xiuyuan did not dwell on this issue. He looked at the mountain peak not far away and asked blankly: "Excuse me, why did I faint in the mountain that day? Could it be that I was poisoned?"
"No, senior brother said that Tianhuang Mountain is very evil, and few people dare to spend the night on it... Brother, it's a miracle that you didn't die!"
Ping An, who came back from the spring water, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said.
"Is this true? But I spent a lot of time at the top of the mountain. Why did this happen when I came down the mountain?" Li Xiuyuan was very puzzled.
Wang Qiang watched Ping An make a fire and boil water, and replied with a smile: "There are few evil spirits on the top of the mountain...but there are many more in the mountains. This is why the monks who go to Tianhuang Mountain to explore will only go to the mountainside at most, not to the mountainside." The reason for the top of the mountain!”
Ping An looked at Li Xiuyuan's confused look and chuckled: "Because they are afraid that if they can go up the mountain, they will not be able to get down in the end, just like you, brother..."
Li Xiuyuan thanked the two of them again: "I see, it seems I was careless!"
In his opinion, if it weren't for his strong physical body, he might not have been able to survive on the top of the mountain.
No wonder the young monks from the Chen family ran desperately to the top of the mountain despite being seriously injured. However, the killers knew clearly but did not dare to catch up.
It turned out to be all because of those evil spirits.
"Brother, can you stay here to practice...many monks from Loulan City want to come..." Ping An said suddenly, looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled.
"Are you also a monk from Loulan City?" Wang Qiang glanced at Li Xiuyuan. In his opinion, the Li Xiuyuan in front of him did not look like a cultivated guy.
"Hey, I fell down on the mountain and I can't remember many things..."
Looking at the two people, Li Xiuyuan explained helplessly.
He neither dared to use Chen Mengsheng's identity nor could he explain his whereabouts, so he could only pretend to be in the past.
Otherwise, if people knew that he came from a black hole and traveled through a certain starry sky, he would definitely be stripped naked and studied.
"It turns out that my brother has lost his memory. No wonder you are brave enough to spend the night on the reclamation mountain."
Ping An looked at him and nodded, took Wang Qiang's hand and said, "Elder brother, just leave your brother to practice on the mountain."
Wang Qiang looked at Li Xiuyuan and shook his head in embarrassment: "You have neither immortal roots nor spiritual energy... and I am not qualified to accept disciples. In this case, you can only stay in the sect and sweep the floor..." .”
For Wang Qiang, the only thing he can do is to let Li Xiuyuan stay here as a handyman sweeping the floors.
As soon as Li Xiuyuan heard this, things changed, and he couldn't escape the fate of being a sweeper.
Taking care of himself, he also understood that it was good for him to be a sweeper in this Immortal Mountain Sect.
Although he has no cultivation, he has no fairy spirit energy at all. Coupled with his age, in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a young man who does not know how to cultivate and has no brute strength.
Since it was a large sect, there would definitely be a place for refining weapons, but staying here was an advantage.
He originally thought about going to Loulan Chen's house to learn weapon refining, but he immediately gave up the idea.
If he brought Chen Mengsheng's space ring to his door, he might be treated as a murderer.
Now that I have come to Fairy Mountain, I will stay here safely.
I had also been a handyman in the academy for several years, so it would not be embarrassing to do it again.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan cupped his hands with Wang Qiang and thanked him: "Thank you, senior brother. Li Xiuyuan is willing to stay and sweep the floor in the sect."
Wang Qiang looked at Li Xiuyuan's sincere look, nodded and said: "You don't have to be sad, maybe one day you will get a magic medicine to change your physique, and start practicing spiritual practice..."
While he was talking, a beautiful 28-year-old woman came to the bamboo house and shouted from a distance: "Ping An, sister is here to see you."
"Brother, what happened to what I told you last time?" The girl came over and sat down at the table. She glanced at Li Xiuyuan in front of her and started yelling at Wang Qiang.
"Didn't I tell you? Ping An has been with me for many years, and I have already told the master about this."
When Wang Qiang said this, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch Ping An's head and sighed leisurely.
It turned out that the girl's cousin also wanted to join Tianyun Mountain, but she couldn't find an elder to take her in. She had no choice but to come to Wang Qiang for help, but Wang Qiang had no choice.
Tianyun Mountain is notoriously troublesome in recruiting disciples in the Loulan area, especially for the venerables on several mountain peaks, who find it difficult to recruit a disciple even in a hundred years.
The rules for recruiting disciples in Tianyun Mountain are that a competition will be held every three years, and the top ten will be accepted into the sect as a rule. The relevant elders will be responsible for recruiting disciples and teaching them.
As for other people, only those elders who are willing to accept disciples can enter Tianyun Mountain. If no one is willing to accept them, they have to leave.
Another option is to be recommended by someone like Li Xiuyuan and voluntarily stay in the mountain as a handyman disciple, and then look forward to one day leaping over the dragon gate and becoming a real Tianyun Mountain monk.
