Green mountains and green waters, the sun is not dazzling.
Maybe it's because the clouds in the sky are slightly thicker, blocking most of the sunlight, giving this place a lazy feel.
Leaning on the edge of a rocky cliff in the middle of a mountain stream, a pot of tea is in front of me.
There was no expression on the face, which was still covered with a piece of black cloth. It seemed to have some expectations and some imaginary excitement.
There is no one else in front of the stone cliff except the young man. If someone approaches at this time, they will find those smooth bluestone slabs on the ground around the young man who have existed for countless thousands of years.
Strange runes were carved all over the ground, with no rules at all, but they were not like formations, and they were not amazing runes. There were even some Buddhist scriptures carved on the ground.
There are also some ghost-drawn peach charms, which seem to have no rules at all, but they convey the terrifying sword energy.
A ray of sunlight fell from the dense branches and leaves of the towering tree, shining on the runes on the ground, shining with a faint light.
It seemed to be telling the boy that there were some traces that had just been imprinted on it.
The next moment, a crow chirped in the sky, reminding the boy that besides him, there was another crow here.
The crow spread its wings and slowly descended to the young man on the edge of the mountain stream, like a black cloud hanging over his head.
Although he couldn't see it, he was still a little unhappy, and a fallen leaf flew into the sky with his hand.
The frightened crow quickly retracted its wings, carefully landed on the stone platform, lowered its head and took a sip of tea from the cup in front of it.
Looking at the messy runes on the ground, he screamed a few times to express his dissatisfaction.
But at the next moment, a clear chant suddenly came from the mountain, and a sword energy came from the distance.
The few rays of sunlight that fell from the sky fell on this sword energy, shining with a compelling sword energy, and struck at the young man in front of the stone platform.
The crow screamed in fright and lowered its head on the stone table.
The young man picked up a leaf from the table, turned it into a spiritual sword and slashed it out. There was a sound of "Ding!", and no sooner or later, the sword energy just collided with it in the air.
Then a sword energy and a leaf turned into a breeze, falling down the mountain stream.
The young man sighed, as if he was not satisfied with this sword energy.
The crow raised its head and looked into the distant mountains and forests.
I saw a girl in a green dress holding a spiritual sword, appearing from the branches of an ancient tree in the air, and a golden light fell on her body from the sky, shining brightly.
But when he saw her shouting loudly, the human sword merged into one, and he slashed with one sword from the branch, and a flying fairy came out of the sky.
So the crow watched a ray of light coming towards it, but didn't care. It just curled its lips and thought about its own thoughts.
The fairy sword that the girl slashed flew at least three feet in front of her before she could hold it back, and then a ray of light struck at the runes on the ground.
The runes on the ground were activated instantly, and countless rays of light clashed with this sword energy!
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Listening to this, the crow couldn't help shouting: "I said, are we in the wrong place?"
"Buzz..."
A roar sounded above the mountain stream, and the runes on the ground in front of the young man formed streaks of golden light, rising into the sky and slashing towards the sky.
Amidst the clanging sound of the sword energy, the girl dispersed the power in her hand, waved her little hand, and put away the spiritual sword in her hand.
For a time, the sunshine in the mountains was warm and the grass was lush, making people feel relaxed and happy.
He stepped forward to pick up the cup on the stone table and drank the herbal tea in one gulp.
He asked abruptly: "Master, have we come to the wrong place? Doesn't this look like a heavenly road?"
The corners of the young man's mouth moved, revealing a smile.
He replied to her: "I've never been here either. How do I know what the Heavenly Road looks like? How about you go back with the crow?"
On the first day of spring, a spring rain fell in Ding'an City and the entire wild world, a spiritual rain just like Li Xiuyuan imagined.
It is also the spiritual rain that Zhuang Waner and others are looking forward to, connecting Xiaohong and Xiaobao's mother.
The two of them also got caught in the rain under Li Xiuyuan's greeting.
As a result, Huangfu Jingyun became the first monk in the wilderness to break through to transcendence and survive the tribulation without ascending.
Zhuang Waner hugged Ximen Mengdie and shouted, "If I had known this, why would your parents have left this world?"
Even the suppressed immortal demon soul on the building sign of the City Lord's Mansion muttered unwillingly: "If I had known this, why bother to follow that old demon."
From north to south, all the monks who stayed in this world were bathing in this spiritual rain from the sky.
There are even monks who have been practicing hard for decades and cannot wait for the opportunity to break through to a new realm in one day.
On the second day of the Beginning of Spring, when Zhuang Waner and Wang Lianhua came to the wine shop early to see Ximen Xiaodie, they realized that the master and apprentice had left the South City Gate early with Crow.
Looking at the sunny sky, Zhuang Wan'er sighed softly: "He is afraid that we will be sad and does not want Die'er to remember the way we shed tears."
Wang Lianhua cried: "My baby Xiaodie..."
Xiaohong looked at the two of them and smiled: "The shopkeeper said that when Xiaodie'er becomes a saint, he will come back to visit you."
"Saint...oh my god..."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Waner felt weak all over, and quickly said to Xiao Hong, "Xiao Hong, come here, help me come in and sit for a while."
Wang Lianhua was also startled, looked at the two of them and said, "If our Xiaodie can become a female saint, doesn't it mean that her master is already... Oh my god, no wonder he can kill the devil..."
Xiaohong chuckled: "I don't know, after all, the shopkeeper never revealed any secrets to me."
In Xiaohong's view, as long as she and Xiaobao live and practice well here, they can naturally wait for the day they meet again.
After all, the shopkeeper has come and gone a lot, right?
After the two women returned to the city lord's palace and told Huangfu Jingyun and Ximen Tingxue the news, the two men finally stopped being silent.
Ximen Tingxue sighed, looked at Huangfu Jingyun and said, "Commander, it seems that even if he is not now, he will become a saint one day in the future."
Huangfu Jingyun nodded: "Saint is the Tao. Otherwise, how could he peek into the wild way of heaven and let me stay here and leave after the beginning of spring?"
Zhuang Waner looked at Wang Lianhua and smiled: "I've been out for too long and I'm going home. You can go to Fucheng with me to live for half a year and then come back."
Wang Lianhua wiped away her tears and replied: "It just so happens that the children have left, so I will go with you to relax and see what kind of chaos the city is in."
Ximen Tingxue shook his head: "With the commander here, there can be no chaos."
Thinking about it wrong, the barbarian king was already dead, so he immediately corrected him: "When I go back this time, the marshal will give up the position of marshal. It's time for you to become the king."
Zhuang Waner thought for a while and replied: "That's right, after all, the wilderness cannot be without its master."
After being wild in the mountains for a long time, Ximen Mengdie was extremely tired. He was panting and giggling, but he couldn't help but have an excited expression on his face.
It wasn't until he drank another cup of herbal tea that he replied: "How is that possible? Where is the master? Junior Brother Die'er and Crow Crow are right there."
With a smile on his lips, Li Xiuyuan picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.
Looking at the crow lying aside, he asked, "Have you found a way out these days?"
There was no other reason. After Li Xiuyuan took Ximen Mengdie into the gate of the underground heavenly road, he felt somewhat similar to when he went to Shenhe.
Holding Ximen Mengdie's little hand and holding Crow in his arms, the two of them walked in the white fog for who knows how long.
Just when Ximen Mengdie was shouting that he couldn't go.
Li Xiuyuan stepped out and arrived at this mountain stream as if he had passed through a boundary wall instantly.
Since there was no way to come, there was no way to leave. For this reason, the crow had been searching nearby for nearly half a month.
Out of boredom, Li Xiuyuan began to ask Ximengdie to carve the Buddhist scriptures she had recited on a stone slab on the ground so that she could practice swordsmanship.
From time to time, I
She will leave another rune on the Buddhist scriptures she carved.
Therefore, the angry Ximen Mengdie would chop at the ground from time to time, cutting the smooth stone into something that no one could understand.
And Li Xiuyuan just wanted her to practice the sword skills that she had lost over the years from now on.
Fortunately, Ximen Mengdie didn't care about his cultivation. He just complained that it was too boring to be here all day long.
Crow glanced at the two of them and whispered: "There is a big mountain... there is a path leading to the outside of the mountain..."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the sky and said with a smile: "I have already said that I will not consider being a human being for the time being. If it weren't for you two, I would have flown out to be happy right now."
Ximen Mengdie let out an ooh, looked at him and said, "Master, my junior brother dislikes us. When we leave this forest, we should drive it away!"
Ever since she was about to embark on her journey to heaven, the little girl rarely called her godfather, but instead called her master.
Because Li Xiuyuan told her that the two of them seemed to be about the same age now, and if they met other monks on the way to heaven, they would think that Li Xiuyuan was abducting people.
But Ximen Mengdie didn't care. She called Li Xiuyuan master a long time ago.
After all, she also learned Qin Dao from Li Xiuyuan, although she was still half-full.
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly, looked at the crow and said, "You are great, aren't you? But you don't know how to swordsmanship. Look at Die'er's swordsmanship changing day by day. Aren't you envious?"
Crow thought for a while and replied: "It's not urgent, just wait."
It thought that it hadn't had enough fun yet, so why was it willing to endure the same hardships as its senior sister, having to practice swordsmanship for one to two hours every day?
After a moment, it retracted its gaze towards the sky and asked Li Xiuyuan, "Should we leave tomorrow? Or should we wait a little longer."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, pointed at Ximen Mengdie and said, "Tomorrow, let your senior sister train in this mountain forest for another day. We will leave early the day after tomorrow."
Ximen Mengdie laughed when he heard this, touched the crow's feathers and said, "Junior brother, if you don't transform within two years, master and I will not want you anymore."
Crow chuckled: "You think so.".
Li Xiuyuan sighed and asked, "Where is that road? How far is it from us? Is it easy to walk? Is it dangerous?"
This was something he had told Crow before. After all, he didn't know what level Ximen Mengdie's cultivation was in this unknown world.
The crow smiled: "It's not far down the mountain. The road is OK, but it's too narrow. I flew back and forth without any danger."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied: "It seems that you have grown up."
Crow thought for a moment, shook his head and replied, "I want to play again, so don't rush me."
Mountain forest in the early morning.
Connected to the mountain stream where Li Xiuyuan was, this was a rolling mountain range with no end in sight.
With the mountain stream as the center and extending to all sides, I don't know how high the mountain is and how dense the forest in the mountain is. In Li Xiuyuan's spiritual consciousness, this place is similar to that paradise.
There is no way to come and no way to leave, except for the ten-mile-long winding trail that the crow mentioned, a trail hidden under the stone wall in the mountains.
This is also the reason why Li Xiuyuan failed to discover it. After all, it is not very convenient to be unable to see.
However, since God has sent them here, no matter whether it is the road to heaven or not, regardless of whether he and Ximen Mengdie are going to embark on a different road to heaven.
He also wants to take Crow and Xiaodie with him and continue walking.
In the distance, a long roar sounded in the forest, and a black shadow flew from a distance, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of Ximen Mengdie.
At this time, Ximen Mengdie was standing on a branch of an ancient tree, looking down from a high position and looking around.
