Without any warning, Xiaoguang and Li Bai followed Li Xiuyuan towards the mountains.
Li Yueyuan was by her husband's side, but Li Xiuyuan didn't dare to let her in yet. He would wait until she had practiced swordsmanship for a month before he would consider it.
Xiaoguang was also very excited after knowing that he was going to experience the secret realm with Li Bai. After all, he had never seen any secret realm in the snowy mountains of Chang'an or Penglai later.
Unexpectedly, there is such a treasure place on Qingcheng Mountain.
Even Li Bai was eager to give it a try. After all, he was now considered a young monk who had practiced the Snow-Zhanying Sword.
After Li Xiuyuan explained some precautions to the two of them, he led them to the outside of a forest with towering ancient trees.
He said to Xiaoguang: "You are the elder brother. If you take Li Bai in, you must bring him back."
The meaning is very clear. Soon, you will have to take Xiao Yueyuan in with you.
Xiaoguang glanced at Li Bai and smiled: "Are you afraid?"
Li Bai glanced at his sister and asked, "Is my sister afraid?"
Li Yueyuan replied: "When sir lets me in, I won't be afraid anymore."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and smiled lightly: "I wish you good luck." After saying that, he took Xiao Yueyuan's hand and turned to leave.
Xiaoguang took a breath, looked at Li Bai and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After saying that, the two of them took a step forward, and there was a burst of screams... When Xiao Yueyuan turned around, her brother and Xiao Guang were no longer visible.
…
What Li Xiuyuan didn't expect was that when he returned to the bamboo forest with Xiao Yueyuan, he saw a woman in a green silk skirt and black hair standing outside the bamboo forest.
Li Yueyuan asked: "Sister, who are you looking for?"
woman
Frightened, he turned around, looked at Li Xiuyuan and Li Yueyuan and nodded: "I heard from Master Zhiguang of the temple that there is a Mr. Li practicing in the bamboo forest on the mountain..."
After saying that, he and Li Xiuyuan were slightly blessed.
"You are a guest, please come in and have a cup of hot tea."
Li Xiuyuan walked into the bamboo forest, and Li Yueyuan smiled at the woman: "Sir, my surname is Li. Sister, please come in and sit down!"
The woman was startled when she heard this, and then smiled slightly: "Okay, thank you, little sister." After saying that, she took Li Yueyuan's hand and followed Li Xiuyuan towards the bamboo house.
A pot of spring water was placed on the fire, and the three of them were sitting in the bamboo hut.
The woman in a blue silk skirt frowned slightly and whispered to Li Xiuyuan: "The little girl's name is Qibao..."
…
"Ouch..."
Suddenly a roar, which seemed human but not human, sounded not far from the forest.
Li Bai, who was holding the iron sword, groaned secretly and asked Xiaoguang: "Brother, is this a monster or a beast? Will it be dangerous for us to come in?"
Xiaoguang raised his head and looked at the towering ancient trees. He saw only a little sunlight falling through the gaps in the leaves. He thought to himself that only such a place could be called a high-end place, right?
After thinking for a while, he replied: "I don't know either. Anyway, you have a sword in your hand. If you are in danger, just cut it with me."
Before the two could continue to communicate, another low roar came from the front.
Both of them were startled, and they quickly clenched the iron sword in their hands and ran in the direction of the sound.
I saw the towering ancient trees suddenly parting on both sides, and there was a wide lawn twenty feet away. It was completely different from the previous scenery. There was also a stone wall lined with rocks behind the lawn.
There is a man with a human face and long arms,
The black and furry guy was patting his chest and yelling at the two of them, as if he was about to pounce on them if they disagreed.
It turns out there really are monsters!
Xiaoguang took a breath and said: "Don't be afraid. The teacher said this guy is called a mandrill, which is a kind of monster in the mountains. It is long and black, and has great strength. Legend has it that it is faster than a leopard, powerful and powerful, and is the overlord of the mountains! "
Xiaoguang said as he unsheathed the black sword.
Looking at the mandrill not far away, he said: "Brother, we are just here to practice, we are not here to cause trouble for you."
Even Xiaoguang was terrified. This was the first time he had encountered such a guy. If his husband hadn't told him in advance, he would have turned around and ran away.
Li Bai nodded: "Brother, we really just came in to have fun."
The mandrill in front smelled the stranger's scent and seemed very excited. He couldn't understand the explanations of Xiaoguang and the two.
He patted his chest, roared, and rushed towards the two of them.
...
"My name is Qibao..." Facing Li Xiuyuan and Li Yueyuan, the woman introduced herself softly.
When Li Yueyuan heard this, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "My sister's name is Qibao, what a strange name."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and smiled, and explained to Li Yueyuan: "The seven treasures are the language of Buddhism. The Amitabha Sutra regards gold, silver, colored glaze, clam, agate, glass, and red beads as the seven treasures."
Without waiting for Li Yueyuan to ask again, he continued: "The Seven Treasures are the most precious and extraordinary in the world. If someone is called the Seven Treasures, it means blessing and praising..."
When Qibao heard this, he smiled lightly: "This is the name that several senior brothers named me. Later, everyone became accustomed to calling it smoothly, and even I got used to it."
Li Yue
Upon hearing this, Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Is my sister a monk in the Buddhist temple in the back mountain?"
Qibao shook his head: "I'm just in Jiezi Town not far away from the mountain... there is a Buddhist hall that sells incense, candles, Buddhist utensils and other things. The senior brothers nearby will occasionally come over to get together..."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and explained to Li Yueyuan: "Qibao is a layman who takes refuge in the Three Jewels. He is considered a disciple of Buddhism who practices in the world."
Upon hearing this, Qibao nodded and smiled, and asked Li Yueyuan, "Little sister, are you also practicing Buddhism in the mountains?"
Li Yueyuan shook her head: "It seems that your husband hasn't taught me Buddhism yet."
Li Xiuyuan sighed. To be honest, he really hadn't decided whether to teach Li Yueyuan some principles about Buddhism.
Qibao was a little disappointed when he heard that, so he had to look at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Where is sir? I heard from the master in the temple that your husband's Buddhist practice is profound and he can solve Qibao's doubts."
Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally replaced the spring tea that fell in the purple sand with the spiritual tea from the snow mountain.
The boiling spring water slowly poured in, and a faint cold fragrance spread in the bamboo layer.
Li Yueyuan and Qibao's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but close their eyes and start sniffing...
Looking at Qibao, Li Xiuyuan asked: "What doubts do you have in your mind that you need me to explain to you?"
…
"Ouch..."
Xiaoguang and Li Bai were chased by the mandrill and ran all the way to the entrance of the forest, but they didn't know how to leave because a mist appeared in front of them.
No matter what, they couldn't break in, as if there was an invisible barrier in front of them blocking their way.
Li Bai thought to himself, sir, are you trying to kill students?
Xiaoguang was angry, holding the black sword in his hand
A little tighter.
Looking at the mandrill running towards him, he yelled: "My brother is a dignified monk, how can he be afraid of you, a monster in the mountains?"
With a roar, Xiaoguang concentrated all his strength on his arms. The moment the mandrill rushed forward, he slashed out the black sword and struck the mandrill in the chest.
With a sound of "Dang!", the iron sword struck the mandrill's chest and made a loud noise.
Mandrill patted his chest, paused, looked at Xiaoguang in front of him, laughed strangely, and waved his long arm to pat him over.
"Fuck you!" Xiao Guang ran back in a hurry.
Li Bai didn't believe it, so he took the iron sword in his hand and struck the mandrill in the back. Unexpectedly, the sound of "Dang!" angered the mandrill, and he immediately turned around and pounced on him.
Xiaoguang was startled and did not dare to run away. He turned around and slashed at Mandrill's back with his sword...
Li Bai's sword strike failed, and he ran towards the lawn in fright, shouting: "Let me go, brother Xiaoguang, help me!"
However, the mandrill would not pay attention to the two people in front of him. In its eyes, all living creatures in the forest are his enemies.
Li Bai ran fast outside, but in the secret realm of the forest, he couldn't run as fast as the mandrill.
When I saw that the long arms of this terrifying guy were about to reach him...
Xiaoguang, who was catching up from behind, shouted loudly, holding the iron sword and shouting: "Come here, don't hurt my brother!"
At this moment, Xiaoguang had long forgotten the swordsmanship taught to him by his master. He was as frightened as Li Bai.
The inadvertent sword strike was the sword-drawing technique that Gao Yue'er taught him. The sword flashed and a cold light passed over the mandrill's neck.
A sword as fast as lightning, between lightning and stone fire
A shallow blood mark appeared on the mandrill's neck.
The painful mandrill paused for a moment, then twisted its neck and rushed towards Xiaoguang.
What? This guy can't be killed? !
Xiaoguang screamed in fright and ran back again. Since he couldn't be beaten to death, he could only run.
So it was Xiaoguang running in front again, and the mandrill roared behind him and chased after him.
Seeing Brother Xiaoguang helping him out of the siege, Li Bai naturally couldn't stay idle. He immediately turned his head and ran after the mandrill, thinking about the right moment to strike with his sword!
Before Xiaoguang could run very far, the roaring mandrill was already close behind him, and stretched out its long arm, trying to catch him.
Xiaoguang lowered his head and waist when he heard the sound. He looked at the mandrill that was rushing towards him and used all his strength to slash out with his sword!
Cut the snow with one sword!
This is his sword that has been transformed into flesh and blood memory! It is also the simplest and most direct sword!
This sword struck the mandrill's neck, striking the previous wound... There was a click, and a huge head flew out.
With a sound of "Boom...", the headless mandrill threw Xiaoguang to the ground!
"Let me go, Li Bai, help me!"
Xiaoguang, who was pinned to the ground by the mandrill's heavy body, roared, as if he was going to die in the mandrill's hands the next moment.
Li Bai was also startled. The guy's head had already flown out, but the huge inertia still knocked Xiaoguang to the ground.
Before he could drag away the mandrill's body, Xiaoguang couldn't help but want to vomit.
Hearing a "wow" sound, Xiaoguang, who entered the secret realm for the first time, finally couldn't help but lay on the ground and vomited wildly.
In Li Bai's eyes, it's like he was there saving his sister on the mountain
, the scene when he was lying in the river and vomiting like he was killing a bandit for the first time.
While forcefully lifting the mandrill's huge body away from Xiaoguang, he laughed.
With Li Bai's help, Xiaoguang crawled out from under the mandrill, climbed to the side and sat down, panting constantly.
This was much more laborious than killing the man in black at the door of the liquor store.
The key is psychological fear. This is the legendary mandrill. Is it a demon or not a human? The sword light slashed through it, and there wasn't even a trace of blood on the side.
Xiao Guang, who narrowly escaped death, took out the wine bottle and took a big sip. He looked at Li Guang and smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, we have already killed one."
Before Li Bai could reply, two more low roars came from the distance.
Li Bai was startled and shouted: "Brother Xiaoguang, there are two guys together this time... What should we do?"
Li Bai in front of him knew that he had no ability to deal with a mandrill alone?
When Xiaoguang heard this, he thought that it was difficult for him to deal with one of them, but now there were two of them. Do they want their lives?
With no other choice, he had no choice but to shout to Li Bai: "The old way, we two brothers will deal with one first and then we'll talk."
Although Li Bai was scared to death, he still nodded seriously. It really made sense for Mr. Xindao to ask him to come together.
Neither he nor Brother Xiaoguang can face a mandrill alone.
Xiaoguang yelled: "Li Bai, go inside the stone wall and play with them slowly!"
