Even though she was several feet away from Li Xiuyuan, Huangfu Qinglian still felt a high temperature coming from behind her...
Before Li Xiuyuan could make a warning sound, she flew away to the right in an instant.
If the person behind her takes action, she must get out of the way, otherwise she may accidentally hurt herself in the next moment.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and thought to himself that you are smart and don't need me to warn you.
The sound of "Boom!" frightened Huangfu Qinglian and screamed instantly. When she turned around to look, she saw that the black shadow behind her finally revealed its original shape, and it was a black hawk that was taller than a person.
"Woooo...chirp!" roared.
Seeing the black eagle's golden and jade-like wings gradually burning up, and seeing Huangfu Qinglian about to suffer a loss, Li Xiuyuan finally folded a piece of talisman paper and turned it into a sword.
In an instant, he waved his hand and slashed away.
He didn't expect to be able to hurt this guy with one sword, so he could only let him retreat and let Huangfu Qinglian go.
The injured Black Eagle gave up the attack on Huangfu Qinglian with a cry of grief, and turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing straight into the sky among the mountains and forests. It felt the terror of this flame.
"A terrifying sword..."
Looking at the lightning-like black eagle, Huangfu Qinglian exclaimed softly. She had an illusion that she had seen such a sword a long time ago when she was an ignorant girl.
This feeling once seemed like yesterday, but it was impossible to reach out and grasp it.
She sighed secretly in her heart and shook her head. She wanted to forget all the lingering memories in her heart.
Just like what Li Xiuyuan told her, she wanted to live her life again just for herself.
Seeing the black shadow of the sword flying high into the sky, Li Xiuyuan was not in a hurry.
Instead, he looked at Huangfu Qinglian who was in a daze and said: "Don't go into a head-on conflict with the monsters in the mountains and forests until you have overcome the tribulation."
Huangfu Qinglian almost vomited blood when she collided with the flying black eagle.
Let her understand that she is far from a match for the monsters in the mountains and forests. It seems that she has to find the elixir and slowly restore her previous cultivation level.
Li Xiuyuan was looking forward to finding a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters after passing this dangerous place.
At least, there are none of these horrific miasmas.
After beating away the black eagle monster, Li Xiuyuan didn't care about this guy's life or death. In his opinion, the black eagle with a sword in its wing must have the courage to cut off half of his own wings.
Otherwise, the talisman fire will not be extinguished, but the black eagle with one broken wing can still become the overlord of this mountain forest?
"Li Xiuyuan, do we still want to move forward?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled lightly, and replied: "I haven't found the elixir I want yet. Why don't you go back to the Taoist temple first and wait until I find it before I share it with you."
Huangfu Qinglian shook her head and stared straight ahead.
It seemed that not far in front, there was a strong spiritual energy, and she even saw the elixir growing on the cliffs, cheering to her.
After finally reaching such a long distance, how could it be possible to go back at this time?
Li Xiuyuan knew that there was no way to convince this stubborn guy, so he had no choice but to let her rush forward.
Finally, when in danger, he takes action again.
Sure enough, the two of them went all the way and never encountered a monster as terrifying as the Black Eagle. Some wild beasts in the mountains smelled the murderous aura on Huangfu Qinglian and moved away from them.
to escape.
Where would they stay, waiting for her to slaughter them and roast them?
Along the way, although we didn't go over mountains and ridges, we also crossed a mountain stream and came to the foot of a huge waterfall.
Looking at the rushing water making an ear-splitting roar in the mountains, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that even if there were monsters, they wouldn't be able to stay in a place like this.
Even monsters like to be quiet at night.
Huangfu Qinglian looked at the stream of water in front of her, cheered, pointed to the cliff on the mountain stream and said, "I'll pick the elixir there."
Before he finished speaking, the person had disappeared in front of Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan didn't expect this guy to be so impatient. It seemed that once he embarked on the path of cultivation, no matter what kind of cultivation level he was, he wanted to go to a higher realm.
Not to mention that the guy in front of him has been sitting in the cave for thousands of years.
If I hadn't met myself this time, I'm afraid that in the end, my vitality would have dried up and I would have died.
Looking up at the sky, before I knew it, it was already setting sun and it was almost midnight.
The two of them were already far away from Old Man Zhang's Taoist temple.
Fortunately, Dongfang Ruyu didn't need to worry about him at the moment. A magic circle in the Taoist temple and a magic circle in the house protected her heavily.
Not to mention Old Man Zhang, even if the monsters in this mountain forest ran to the Peach Blossom Spring, they would not be able to hurt the silkworm cocoon in Nirvana.
I found some dead branches and found a stone flat on the mountain stream far away from the waterfall.
After lighting a fire, he made a pot of spring bamboo shoots and mushroom soup. The mushrooms came from Penglai in the Tang Dynasty, but the spring bamboo shoots came all the way and were picked in the bamboo forest.
He took a few more cakes that Old Man Zhang had brought from the village and baked them aside.
Such a day
Son, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had experienced it.
Whether in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty or in Penglai, they lived a life full of fireworks.
Only when he returned to the mountains and slept in the open air would he inadvertently remember that he was originally a person born in this world.
When the sun sets and the moon has not yet risen.
The steamy Huangfu Qingmei came back from the mountain, smelling the faint fragrance. Li Xiuyuan thought that this guy still had the heart to go to the waterfall to clean himself.
Aren't you afraid of a black snake emerging from the water?
Thinking that the black snake is actually the most monster beast I have encountered since I started practicing, I wonder if it will change after going to Tianyu City?
In fact, the Shura Heaven Realm will not give him any surprises, not even the Savage World.
Huangfu Qinglian was obviously very happy. She smelled the fragrance in the pot and smiled: "It's not bad. I found a few hundred-year-old elixir, although it's not very useful."
Li Xiuyuan gave her a bowl of soup and smiled: "Eat a piece of cake, since you didn't bring back the prey."
Huangfu Qinglian took the soup and took a sip, then picked up the baked cake from the fire and took a bite.
While sighing, he said: "Li Xiuyuan, do you think I'm stupid?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied: "If you were stupid, you would still die in that cave for a thousand years? I'm afraid you would have been reincarnated long ago."
Huangfu Qinglian sighed and murmured to herself: "I just don't give up, I don't want to give up, so what's the plot? Thousands of years... In fact, I slept on that stone step for a thousand years."
"It's a dream of a thousand years. It's actually not bad if you think about it. When you wake up, you will meet me and Old Man Zhang."
Li Xiuyuan drank
Taking a sip of soup, he said, "The time is just right."
Shaking her head, Huangfu Qinglian whispered: "Actually, it was the girl who came down the stone steps who woke me up from my dream."
Thinking of her thousand-year dream, Huangfu Qinglian couldn't help but sigh, but her cheeks were wet with tears before she knew it.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned. He thought of Wu Xin's three lives and three lives. Thousands of years have passed, but he still hasn't woken up from the dream of a thousand years ago.
Or was he killed later, so he followed Jasmine and gradually forgot about his past...
Quietly, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to the infatuated woman in front of him.
He said softly: "The past has been buried by me in that cave. You can't go back even if you want to. After a hundred years, stepping through the void and leaving this world is your cultivation."
Huangfu Qinglian lowered her head and hummed softly.
In her deep eyes, the shadow that had been unable to go away...inadvertently, had left her eyes.
In the years and months to come, she could no longer be moved by it.
Thousands of years have passed, although it seems to her that there has been no change, but after all, time flows like water.
Even a drop of running water a day can gently erase the traces in her heart inadvertently.
…
After drinking a pot of fragrant bamboo shoots and mushroom soup, Huangfu Qingmei finally felt much better.
He moved out a deck chair and placed it under the tree, lying on it and covering it with an animal blanket.
Looking at the moon in the sky, he looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was standing by the mountain stream with his hands behind his hands, looking at the moon, and asked, "What about you? By the way, where are you going after you take that little girl out of here?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and looked away at the starry sky.
Come back and sit
Next to the fire, I boiled a pot of water and thought about taking a sip of tea to clear my mind. After all, the night is long, how can I just sleep?
After being silent for a long time, he replied: "I am a person abandoned by the heavens. I cannot break through this world through practice like you and go to the higher starry sky..."
"What's the meaning?"
Huangfu Qinglian frowned slightly. After living for a thousand years, this was the first time she heard that there were monks abandoned by the heavens. This was incredible.
Pointing at the starry sky, Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "It's just that the heaven in this world does not recognize my practice. After I leave the Peach Blossom Spring, it won't be long before I embark on the road to heaven..."
Now that he is back here, since neither the master nor the old monk has said a word.
That means that the road to heaven is probably opening in the next few days, and it's just the right time for him to come back.
As for whether he would embark on the same adventure path with Chu Feng, Ximen Lone Star, Li Qiu Shui and others at the last minute, that was not his concern.
Back then, he told these guys not to expect to meet him again on the road to heaven.
He believes that his difficulty must be several times that of these guys, and he is afraid that he will not be able to face the crisis on the road together.
Fortunately, the group of guys have already formed a team, so they can cope with the dangers they encounter.
However, Huangfu Qinglian listened to the story told by Li Xiuyuan with her ears pricked up as if listening to a book from heaven, and then she exclaimed: "What if I die on that road?"
"Either the body enters the wheel, or the soul and spirit are destroyed."
Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "Cultivation is a path that defies heaven. I have long wanted to understand this path.
Got it. "
"So you really have unspeakable difficulties?"
Huangfu Qinglian leaned on the recliner, looked at the stars in the sky, and asked quietly: "Does that girl also want to walk the road to heaven with you?"
"She...she is a little different from me."
Li Xiuyuan decided to boil a pot of spiritual tea, dropped a few tea leaves into the pot, poured boiling water into it, and sighed.
He smiled and said, "Her situation is somewhat similar to yours. She can stay in the Shura Heaven Realm and continue to practice, waiting for the moment of breaking through the void and ascending. There is no need to take risks with me."
"I see. It seems that her life is indeed better than yours. She doesn't even have to go out to look for this elixir."
Huangfu Qinglian chuckled: "Do you want me to accompany you on the road to heaven?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied seriously: "I'm afraid you won't be able to go... I can give you a plaque that will allow you to ascend to heaven, but your cultivation will not return to the extraordinary realm so quickly."
"Is that so...how much time will it take before the road is opened?" Huangfu Qinglian asked unwillingly.
"I've returned here, I'm afraid it won't last five years."
Li Xiuyuan took a sip from the spiritual tea in front of him and said, "Even if I give you five years, your cultivation will not be able to return to its previous peak."
Huangfu Qinglian was stunned when she heard this. She was so angry that she couldn't help complaining: "Why didn't you come to see me earlier?"
