The old man stretched out his hand and caught the space ring thrown by Wang Hun.
After thinking for a while, he replied to Wang Hun: "Go back and tell your master that this elixir will be ready in one month at the latest. Let him rest assured and don't rush it."
Wang Hun nodded and turned his gaze away from the old man's dark figure. The corners of his mouth moved but he did not speak, because he planned to leave here.
"Ouch!"
There is a dark red light shining in the ancient cauldron, like a ghost in hell who is unwilling to be suppressed here, and has refined the elixir alive, and is roaring desperately, trying to break free from it.
Unexpectedly, there is a magic circle above the ancient cauldron, which firmly suppresses it. No matter how much power there is, it cannot be leaked.
Wang Hun was startled, raised his hands and said, "My lord said it was okay, so I will go back first."
The old man sitting in the darkness seemed to feel something. Looking at him, he suddenly asked: "Tell me, what happened in Fucheng recently?"
Wang Hun was startled and then replied calmly: "It's not the same as before. Eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink."
The old man glanced at the ancient cauldron in front of him, and after a while he replied: "Go back and tell your king that when the elixir is released, it will also be his time to fly to the sun."
Wang Hun was silent for a moment, then whispered back: "Thank you, sir."
The old man thought for a while and asked, "Have you heard any news since you came to Tiancheng?"
Hearing the old man talking about Wangtian City, Wang Hun, who was about to leave, paused, thought for a while and replied, "I was just passing by. I came here before I went into the city to eat."
The implication is very clear, he knows nothing.
Waving his hand, the old man said: "Go back, everything here..."
Wang Hun was startled and said, "Don't worry, sir, I didn't see anything. I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself."
Quietly, Wang Hun exited this terrifying goat cave along the road and headed down the mountain without stopping.
The old man waved his hand and extinguished the two oil lamps in front of him.
The huge cave regained its dark and terrifying atmosphere.
It took half an hour before a masked woman came in and greeted the old man.
The old man asked the same thing: "How is Wangtian City lately?"
The woman dressed in black and masked hesitated for a moment before replying: "What can we do? Even if there are some ups and downs, as long as the source cannot be found, it is not considered wind and rain."
After the woman finished speaking, she felt a trance in her heart, wondering what she would do if the wind and rain in Tiancheng floated up the mountain.
Although there are many monks on the mountain, and they are even more ruthless characters, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?
The old man was quite satisfied with the masked woman's answer. Just as he thought, the wind and rain in the world were not called wind and rain in his eyes.
He nodded and replied: "The spiritual energy of this place has been exhausted. After finishing this matter, we have to move to another place."
The masked woman nodded but said nothing.
Like the previous Wang Hun, she didn't want to get into trouble in front of the old man. She just wanted to finish her reply and leave the cave. After all, she didn't like the smell inside.
"but……"
The old man suddenly said, "I heard that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Wangtian City. There are masters living in seclusion here. I wonder what kind of masters they are. Will they affect us?"
The masked woman trembled, thinking about some rumors in Wangtian City, thinking that even if there were experts, they wouldn't take action to mess up your affairs, right?
After a long while, she replied: "Even if there are masters who are hiding in the world, no one would be willing to stand up at this time. It's freezing cold, who doesn't want to stay at home?"
The old man laughed and said, "It's best this way, so that everyone can live in peace."
The masked woman thought for a while and replied: "I went to buy food and came back. I have to go outside to give it to my brothers..." After that, she bowed to the old man and left this breathless place.
But the moment she turned around, she suddenly froze.
He turned back to the old man thoughtfully and asked, "Is this elixir almost ready?"
The old man nodded and replied proudly: "It will be ready in less than a month."
After reading for a long time, Li Xiuyuan retraced the path of learning Talisman with his teacher Gui Guzi.
The crow was bored for two days and did not dare to go out to let loose.
It was a different world, and it was still unfamiliar with it. It didn't dare to go out and run wild, and wanted to stay in the small courtyard with Li Xiuyuan and memorize Buddhist scriptures.
What Li Xiuyuan didn't expect was that there were still many days before the Mid-Autumn Festival when he set off from the academy, but when he arrived here it was already snowing.
Sure enough, these are two different worlds.
Watching a pot of charcoal fire, he was thinking about how to find a wildebeest and go to Ding'an City today. After all, he really didn't want to see some old friends here.
Except for the people I want to see.
Just after Chen hour, a woman in red came with an oil-paper umbrella. She stood outside the door of the small courtyard, looking at the flying snow in the sky and feeling the familiar smell in the small courtyard.
I stretched out my hand to catch a snowflake floating in the wind, while remembering the past.
At the same time, he shouted softly: "Senior brother, is it you?"
"Squeak!" With a sound, the door opened and Li Xiuyuan stood in front of her, smiling at the familiar face in front of him.
"I didn't expect it to snow here."
The woman was Chen Shanshan, whom he had not seen for a long time. She was the junior sister forced on him by his teacher Gui Guzi. They had been separated for who knows how many years since the last time they saw each other.
Taking a gentle breath, Chen Shanshan was immersed in the feelings of the past, looked at him and said, "After all, the teacher left me long ago."
In fact, what she wanted to say was, after all these years, why have I still not been able to cross that threshold?
Li Xiuyuan turned and walked towards the yard, asking: "Still not working? Or is it almost?"
Chen Shanshan said quietly: "Teacher has left me. In this world, where can you find me another Talisman Master? Senior brother, you are a magic dragon but never see its end. How can I step into that door?"
Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly when he heard this and remained silent for a while.
Chen Shanshan had already said too much about what he wanted to teach, and besides, even he himself didn’t know how to describe it.
Is it possible to tell my junior sister again the principles I taught you in the Tang Dynasty?
However, those are just the basic principles for a Talisman master to get started, just like he asked the crow to memorize a volume of Buddhist scriptures before becoming a human being.
Back in the house, Li Xiuyuan made tea and pointed at the crow and said, "This guy is now my follower and is studying Buddhist scriptures with me."
Crow looked up at Chen Shanshan and said, "Is this your friend here?"
Chen Shanshan smiled lightly and said, "I am his junior sister Chen Shanshan. Who are you? Do you have a name?"
"I am a big..."
Before the word "Demon King" could be uttered, Crow quickly changed his words: "I am Lord Crow, and I don't have a name for you humans right now."
Chen Shanshan was startled when she heard this, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Isn't it easy to come up with a name? Since this guy can already speak, how about..."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and smiled: "I really haven't thought about this. Let's talk about it later."
Chen Shanshan nodded and said, "I heard from my father that next spring, it is estimated that the Heavenly Road will be opened, and it will last for three months, so that monks from all over the world can enter."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said seriously: "If you don't understand anything, just ask. In the end, you will become a Talisman Master before you step on the road to heaven."
Crow was startled after hearing this. He looked at the inconspicuous woman in front of him and was speechless.
In its eyes, Li Xiuyuan was already very defiant, and it never expected that there would be a defiant woman here.
In the academy, Wei Qing obviously didn't expect his senior brother to leave without saying goodbye, and left in a hurry without even eating breakfast.
Hua Xiaoyu was more open-minded than him and kept comforting her.
In her heart, Li Xiuyuan did not belong to this world in the first place, and it was very good to come here before the road to heaven opened.
Not to mention, now that the threat of the Demon Realm has gone, the world has been sublimated, and the path for their future cultivation has also become wider.
Because Li Xiuyuan told her that in a hundred years, as long as someone breaks through the rules of this world, they will be able to ascend.
Unlike before, the road to ascension was blocked, which was the best news for her.
The dean looked at the two of them and said, "He has already given everything he can give you. You must be content as a human being."
Wei Qing sighed, looked at the dean and smiled bitterly: "Then senior brother can't just leave without saying hello?"
"What did he say? What else could he tell you?"
The dean sighed and said seriously: "It's already a big deal that he can get rid of the troubles in the Demon Realm. How can he be like a woman and end up with you forever?"
After speaking, he looked at Hua Xiaoyu and said, "Take him back to the academy and tell every elder and student about the great changes in the world, so that everyone can be happy."
Hua Xiaoyu nodded and replied: "Since the Demon Realm army has been rampant across the world, the academy has not had anything major that makes everyone happy for a long time."
The dean thought for a while and said, "After I finish drinking your wedding wine, I'm going to Qianfo Temple to have a good chat with Master Yuanzhen."
Li Xiuyuan only stayed at the Great Wall for three days. This was because Chen Shanshan kept troubling him with different problems, and he had to explain them to her repeatedly.
Finally, I really told Chen Shanshan the truth I told Juier in the Tang Dynasty.
In terms of understanding Taoism, in Li Xiuyuan's heart, Jue'er's talent is really not comparable to that of his junior sister.
Back then, when he was just a kid, he told Jue'er about it, using mountain paths and passing ants to describe the way of the world to the little girl.
Unexpectedly, Juier remembered it for a lifetime.
Until she transformed into a divine dragon and went to the divine dragon continent with the old man Hong Yuanhai, Qingyue, and Gao Yuer, she still remembered the principles he told her back then.
Sighing again and again, Li Xiuyuan thought that only in this way could Jui'er become emperor in the Tang Dynasty, right?
The crow is also very quiet these days. It is freezing and there is no place for it to play. Even if it flies into the sky, there is not even a ghost.
Reading Buddhist scriptures obediently for an hour every day is already a rare thing in Li Xiuyuan's opinion.
After all, Crow is not the same Xiaobao he was back then. Xiaobao is just a child, so it is easy for him to settle down and learn some skills from himself.
Unlike the guy in front of me, he is full of wildness.
Finally, after Chen Shanshan figured out all the doubts about Fu Dao, she looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled and said, "Thank you, senior brother. I think I will be able to do it this winter."
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Enter the Heavenly Road and stay with your monks from the Great Wall. Do not act alone."
Chen Shanshan was stunned: "Isn't Senior Brother with us?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "I don't know if I can be with you at that time."
After leading two wildebeests, Chen Shanshan quietly sent Li Xiuyuan out of the city.
The two came to the place where Guiguzi ascended to heaven. Li Xiuyuan gave Chen Nu Shanshan some of the apricot meat brewed with honey on Luoxia Mountain.
He smiled and said, "I brewed this myself. It should be able to help you and Zhao Ping'an, and..."
Chen Shanshan sighed quietly and put it away carefully without being polite.
The moment Li Xiuyuan stepped onto the wildebeest and was about to leave.
Chen Shanshan suddenly remembered something, looked at him and said, "Brother, I heard from a general that something seems to have happened in the wilderness."
