The night was dark and windy, the bright moon was obscured by dark clouds, and no light could be seen.
Two black figures came out of the house in Xima Mountain, one to the east and one to the west, moving slowly against the fence.
The two black figures did not see each other, but they walked out of the house along the fence and headed down the mountain.
The black shadow facing east had only taken a few steps when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw another black shadow walking out from the base of the wall.
The dark figure behind the wall was noticed, and he immediately took a preemptive strike and said, "Junior brother Li, you stopped sleeping in your room late at night, but you sneaked out. What do you want to do?"
Junior Brother Li immediately started to sweat on his back, but when he took a closer look, he breathed a sigh of relief, and calmly smiled and said: "You're talking about me, Senior Brother Huang also ran out secretly. It's dark and windy this night, it can't be... Is the moon viewing coming?"
The two people spoke in extremely low voices and looked at each other like two lone wolves, fierce and dangerous.
Senior Brother Huang sneered: "I think Junior Brother Li is hoping that Master Chen will not escape down the mountain? If Master finds out, do you know what the consequences will be!"
Junior Brother Li's eyes flashed with a fierce light and extreme fear, and he said: "Senior Brother Huang, why don't you call out all the fellow disciples louder? So that they can all see that you, Huang Qiao, are also planning to defect from the disciples. "
The two little wolves saw through each other's intentions, but neither wanted to give in.
The fierce god went out to visit friends, and Uncle Qiu Yun was the only one in the mountain. If you don’t escape now, you won’t be able to escape again in this life.
God is good, if we give up today, I don’t know if I will have a chance tomorrow!
So naturally, the two lone wolves chose to join forces.
Huang Qiao said: "Okay, you win. If you want to go, I will go too. There is only one way down the mountain. Why don't we go together so that we can have someone to take care of us."
Junior Brother Li's eyes flickered slightly and he said: "Okay, if you want to leave, leave quickly. Don't delay. If he comes back..."
The two of them had a cold war, and neither dared to imagine how their master would punish them.
So the two of them walked in tandem, carefully sensing the movement around them, and arrived at the mountain gate unimpeded.
The mountain gate that was knocked down by Gong Mengbi has been re-erected, and it seems that the resentful souls of Xima Mountain's evildoers are still lingering on it.
Huang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Escaped."
Junior Brother Li was uneasy and said, "How could it be so easy?"
Huang Qiao said: "Is it still difficult for you to think about it?"
Junior Brother Li shook his head, his face showing anxiety.
Huang Qiao grabbed his arm and said, "Let's go quickly, don't wait any longer."
The two of them stepped down the mountain path together. In just a moment, the world changed, and they became dizzy and their strength was withdrawn from their bodies.
Junior Brother Li suddenly remembered and said: "Master practiced the Four Bitter Formations again, but the token no longer works..."
It's not that they didn't know the news about re-refining the Four Bitter Formations, but they had gone down the mountain, walked through the Four Bitter Formations, and secretly hid the mountain-going token when collecting the corpses for the master of the division, so they were lucky in their hearts.
But at this moment, Junior Brother Li finally figured out why it was so easy to escape all the way, because there were still four bitter formations guarding the mountain gate.
But the two of them were determined, as long as they passed through the four hardships, they could get down the mountain!
According to what Uncle Qiu Yun said, the Four Sufferings Formation is a formation of questioning the mind, not a killing formation. As long as the mind is firm and the Taoist heart is as iron, it may not be impossible to pass through the formation safely.
His thoughts only changed for a moment, and the next moment, a gust of cool wind blew, and Junior Brother Li couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a baby's cry.
Junior Brother Li looked around and felt his body light up. He was picked up by a pair of hands and handed to a man. He heard someone say in his ear: "Congratulations, you have given birth to a daughter."
The joy on this man's face disappeared in an instant before he even mentioned it. The two old parents beside him became even more angry, "It's my daughter again, how can our family afford to raise such a loser!"
Junior Brother Li was furious and waved his hands, but without any attack power.
The door opened, cold wind blew in, and the old woman hugged him and walked outside.
Junior Brother Li had an ominous premonition in his heart. He soon heard the sound of water, and then heard the old woman say: "Don't be reborn as a daughter in your next life."
Plop.
It was the sound of the swaddling clothes falling into the water, and the water poured in from the mouth and nose. Junior Brother Li felt extremely suffocated, and his vision quickly turned dark.
"ah!"
Junior Brother Li took a big breath and recovered from the shadow of drowning. He noticed the scene around him. The mountain gate of Xima Mountain stood behind him, like a towering gate to hell.
The attempt failed.
He was terrified, and his heart seemed to jump out of his throat.
After a while, Huang Qiao's figure also emerged from the mountain road, as if being pushed out by an invisible hand.
He yelled, but Junior Brother Li's quick eyes and quick hands covered his mouth.
Huang Qiao struggled fiercely, but when he saw clearly that it was Junior Brother Li, he gradually calmed down.
Junior Brother Li asked: "What did you see?"
Huang Qiao said: "I became a baby and my parents loved me. But not long after, bandits rushed into the village and robbed me. All six members of my family were hacked to death."
Huang Qiao looked at Junior Brother Li and asked, "What did you see?"
Junior Brother Li said vaguely: "I drowned accidentally."
Huang Qiao didn't notice his unnaturalness, but looked at the mountain gate behind him and said, "What should I do? Are you still trying to break in?"
Junior Brother Li gritted his teeth and said: "Chuang! You won't really die in the Four Hard Arrays, but you may really die if you stay in the mountains!"
The two gritted their teeth and broke into the formation again.
Of course, the birth formation is not a certain death situation. The reason why there are two dead situations first is just a greeting gift for the first meeting.
Although it is not a fatal situation, it does not mean that it can be easily overcome.
The suffering of life is the first of all sufferings.
The spirit spirit falls into the mortal body and becomes fragile, soft, unable to stand on its own, and susceptible to wind and evil. It is a rare thing to be able to grow up safely.
In addition, after the mortal body settles down and enters the world of mortals, one is trapped by fame, fortune, and wealth, and may spend his whole life in a state of confusion, just running for these things.
Family background, appearance, male and female, noble status, etc. are all determined even when a person is born. Even if he spends his whole life, he may not be able to get out of it.
The suffering of the world of mortals begins and ends with birth.
Huang Qiao and Junior Brother Li went through many twists and turns and suffered a lot in the smoke and willows, and finally arrived at the second formation, before the old formation.
From a soft and fragile child to an adult, through the prime of life, trapped in fame, fortune, and wealth, with some gain or no gain, a person's lifespan and energy are already slowly draining away.
Huang Qiao and Junior Brother Li stood in front of the old formation. On one side they were afraid of their master's fierce power, and on the other side they were afraid of the torture of the Four Pain Formations.
They claim to have a strong mind, but they have gone through the hardships of life, and their experiences in the battle are still vivid in their eyes, and they are touched in their hearts one after another.
Immortals came from mortals, and in their previous cultivation, they had more or less lost their mortal mind. The environment in Xima Mountain is such that it despises and ignores life.
But at this moment, their ordinary hearts were revived, and they gradually regained their original sincerity in cultivating Taoism.
