It was like lifting a big mountain from his back. Li Xiuyuan, who was lying on the ground, took a deep breath.
He got up and sat on the ground, took out the kettle and drank half of it before he could breathe again.
When he reached out and touched his aching chest, he discovered that there were no wounds on his body.
I thought that I was pressed by the long yellow sand, and I couldn't breathe for a while, and fell into an illusion. Fortunately, the storm disappeared and I woke up.
If he continues to fall asleep, his bones will really be buried in this vast desert.
Looking around, there was not a horse or a human figure.
Presumably, these horses either outran the wind and headed for Dunhuang City, or were swallowed up by the sudden yellow sand like those guys.
Since there was no one around, he was no longer in a hurry.
He took out the dry food he bought and took a bite. After thinking about it, he took out a small jar of spiritual wine and started drinking it.
Although you don't need to scream to the sky to survive the catastrophe, you still have to drink a few sips of spiritual wine to regain some strength.
In his opinion, this time of danger was no weaker than the one in the Demon Realm.
Although the ruins of death were extremely dangerous and he was swallowed by the dragon, he almost lost his mind immediately and when he woke up, he was already in the wilderness above the nine heavens.
But this time, it gave him an extremely terrifying experience.
Let him understand what it means to be invincible and let him feel powerless and defeated.
It was almost impossible to wake up.
Fortunately, there were no injuries on my body, but I was sore from the pressure of the yellow sand. I thought I would have to rest for a few days before I could fully recover.
Whether it was being attacked in the creek behind the Great Buddha Temple at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, or later on going to the Shura battlefield and encountering a dragon in the abyss, and even going to the future Tianluo City to transform into a dog egg.
Ever since he came down from the Tianshan Mountains, he has been fighting against fate, fighting against people and against heaven, and has never stopped.
Even in the prehistoric world, with Tantai Mingyue, Yuwen Liuli and the others, they were always in a state of nervousness.
However, I have never been as tired as I am now, and I even want to lie here quietly until dawn.
Even after taking two sips of the spiritual wine he brewed, he still couldn't improve his current mental state.
Today, all his potential has been maximized. If the storm in front of him drags on for another hour, he may collapse at any time.
Looking at the box trees in front of me protruding from the yellow sand, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I thought that only trees like this in the desert could survive the wind and sand in the sky.
Before he knew it, the sky was full of stars, shining quietly on him.
He closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the rare cool breeze in the night breeze. Li Xiuyuan, who had entered his body with starlight, had transformed into a shaking star in the nine heavens.
Seven stars point to the south, it is midsummer.
Gradually, the starlight in the sky fell on him like fireflies in the summer night, and gradually gathered on his chest.
The stars on his chest were brilliant, far away from the shaking star in the sky.
The starlight on his chest turned into a vast sea of stars, flowing slowly towards his limbs and bones.
And a soul has flown to the nine heavens, bypassing the stars one after another, and finally landed on the stars in the dream.
Standing in the starry sky, looking at the vast sea of stars, Li Xiuyuan tried to find the planet he had been to.
It was a place that he couldn't let go at first, and after completing the cause and effect of Mount Sumeru, he wanted to go back again.
After some searching, his eyes finally landed on a planet that was not very dazzling.
It’s not for anything else, just because the current shaking star casts a dazzling light, quietly illuminating a certain world or a certain mountain on the planet.
I searched for her thousands of times in my dream, but that person was in the Yaoguang Palace above the Bamboo Peak.
Incarnate as starlight, following this light shining on the sea of stars, Li Xiuyuan landed on the top of the Bamboo Peak of the Tianyun Holy Land in the Xuanwu Continent.
The bamboo shed that was there has collapsed and been replaced by a small wooden house.
Pushing open the ajar wooden door, I found that the place was well-equipped and clean. It was obvious that people often came here to practice.
He sighed and looked at the cave not far away.
It was here that I transformed into a phoenix and entered Nirvana, entering the place where life and death were tempered under the abyss.
Now that I think about it, I am still terrified.
I'm afraid he won't easily step into the cave again until he recovers his cultivation.
Even though there were still two jars of spiritual wine in the cave, he didn't dare to go in and open it to take a sip.
Shaking his head, he walked under the starlight all the way to the main hall on the mountainside.
In the current Yaoguang Palace, Nalan Ruoyu was guarding a pot of spiritual tea with the old man Meng Shentong from the Sutra Library, chatting happily.
"I plan to wait until summer arrives and go to Meishan Mountain to see the female saint."
Nalan Ruoyu looked at the old man and smiled bitterly: "I have to think of a way to see if I can get a chance to become a saint."
The old man sighed, looked at her and replied: "If our precious disciple is still here, I'm afraid it won't be a difficult task."
"He..."
Nalan Ruoyu shook her head and said: "The two people by the Tongtian River have become obsessed. They are guarding a food shed and do not want to leave. They have to share half of the money they earn with others..."
The old man laughed and said: "You are not the two of them, how do you know the truth behind this?"
Nalan Ruoyu didn't say a word, but poured the remaining tea in the pot into a bucket nearby and cleaned it up with warm water.
After thinking for a while, he said unwillingly: "If my disciple is still here, it would be a beautiful thing to cook a cold plum tea from Meishan at this time."
"If you want to drink spiritual tea, you don't have to go to Meishan, you can get it here."
Before the old man could reply to her, Li Xiuyuan's voice came from the door of the hall: "It's been a long time since we last saw each other, how are you doing?"
"Boom!"
Nalan Ruoyu was so frightened that she screamed: "Are you a human or a ghost? Don't come to scare me."
The old man shook his head, pointed to the chair beside him and said with a smile: "Could it be that you borrowed the starlight in the sky to see us two poor guys?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded and sat down at the table next to the two of them.
Looking at the old man, he replied: "I don't know whether I am a thousand miles away from here or ten thousand miles away... Master, what kind of cultivation are you doing now?"
His own cultivation was limited, and Li Xiuyuan couldn't clearly see Nalan Ruoyu's cultivation, so he had to ask.
Nalan Ruoyu replied faintly: "When you brought back the elixir refined by the Ten Thousand Years Divine Medicine, the female saint did not allow me to eat it. She said she wanted me to endure it and understand the calamity of the five declines of human beings in that day..."
Li Xiuyuan frowned when he heard this.
Looking at the smiling old man beside him, he asked: "Teacher, is it possible that Master can become a saint even if he is not an ordinary person?"
The old man nodded and explained: "It is a natural thing to first enter the mortal world and then become a saint; and like your master, it is equivalent to crossing the bridge first, and then looking back to think about how it passed... …”
"This is a very troublesome and dangerous matter... without the help of saints, it is absolutely impossible."
The old man also sighed and said with a wry smile: "This is the reason why your master carries the elixir and dare not eat it."
Thinking that something was wrong, the old man reached out and grabbed his little hand and began to explore it quietly.
After a long while, he asked in disappointment: "Why is this?"
Li Xiuyuan spread his hands, looked at the two of them and replied: "This disciple has a hard life. Halfway through the tribulation of the Five Small Decays of Heaven and Man, he was summoned by a starlight..."
"Where?"
Nalan Ruoyu was startled when she heard this. Being interrupted during the tribulation was a very terrifying and unbelievable thing.
Even the old man had never heard of it, so he had to ask: "Where have you been?"
"I've gone to the past in the long river of time, to a planet you don't know about. Forget it, let's not talk about the disciples..."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at the old man and asked seriously: "Teacher, I have a question to ask."
The old man smiled and replied: "Between you and me, master and disciple, we can talk freely."
With a smile, Li Xiuyuan pointed at Nalan Ruoyu and said, "If my master realized the five declines of heaven and man on the Bamboo Peak, can the teacher protect her?"
He did not explicitly say that it was possible for Nalan Ruoyu to hear the Tao and then survive the tribulation and become a saint.
Instead, he took a roundabout way and asked the old man if he was a saint. Only the master and the apprentice could understand this, but Nalan Ruoyu sitting beside him was confused.
The old man trembled when he heard this, looked at him blankly and asked, "Don't scare me!"
Nalan Ruoyu finally understood, reached out and grabbed Li Xiuyuan's little hand and asked, "Why have you become the same person again after not seeing each other for all these years?"
She did not immediately ask about her breaking situation, but looked at Li Xiuyuan's appearance with curiosity.
After thinking about it for a while, he complained: "If your two junior sisters saw this, it would make them angry to death."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "It's hard to explain everything about my disciples. Now that I am no longer in the body of a divine bird and phoenix, let me talk about the important things about my master."
Now that he has come to Zhufeng, he is giving his master an impossible opportunity.
Since everything is going against the will of heaven, why not give Master all the opportunities in the universe?
Even the old man in front of him might break through again and become a member of this world... He didn't dare to think about it.
If I think about it again, I'm afraid I'll have to recruit the two saints from Meishan here...
The old man didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan had seen through his hidden secret, and he no longer concealed it, but said lightly: "As long as she can hear the truth at Zhufeng."
"Then you can go to the cave on the top of the Bamboo Peak to survive the catastrophe of the five declines of the human race. With me here, I should be able to protect her. No one dares to try to take her revenge..."
When Naguan Ruoyu heard this, she was so excited that she couldn't speak. She just held Li Xiuyuan's little hand tightly.
I'm afraid that the next moment, this guy will turn into starlight and leave.
But at this moment, the old man poured a basin of cold water on Nalan Ruoyu.
Looking at the two people, he said seriously: "Although I can protect her, it is only for those outside who want to take advantage of her. She has to face the matter of overcoming the tribulation by herself."
Li Xiuyuan nodded. He had experienced this personally and naturally understood.
Nalan Ruoyu nodded solemnly and said: "As long as I can survive the legendary five declines of heaven and man, even if I die, I am willing to do so."
The old man was silent when he heard it.
What Nalan Ruoyu said may be the thoughts in the minds of several venerables in Tianyun Holy Land.
Even if there is a slim chance, who wouldn’t want to become a saint immediately? Live as long as heaven and earth?
Nalan Ruoyu looked at Li Xiuyuan's silent appearance and asked with a trembling voice: "You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Speaking of which, my disciples don't know either."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and replied quietly: "I haven't transformed into a mortal yet, and I have no experience of becoming a saint. I only have one chance. I wonder if Master dares to try?"
The combination of many opportunities, in Li Xiuyuan's opinion, means that the female saint and the old monk of Meishan can both hear the Tao and break through the realm.
Not to mention the current Nalan Ruoyu.
This is an opportunity that is rare to find in the ages. If it were anyone else, even the guy from the Loulan City Lord's Mansion, he would not be so generous.
Nalan Ruoyu glanced at the old man, who gave her a firm look.
That clearly means that if you don’t even believe in your own disciples, who can you believe in?
Taking a deep breath, Nalan Ruoyu looked at Li Xiuyuan and replied seriously: "Come on, just tonight."
Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this: "I'm afraid that I can only drink a cup of spiritual tea with my master, and I will have to go back soon..."
The old man was startled when he heard this, glared at him and said, "In that case, why not hurry up so that you can witness this most sacred and legendary moment!"
Nodding, Li Xiuyuan picked up the purple clay pot that Nalan Ruoyu had just warmed and placed it in front of him.
