When Xie Nanshi finished his work in the pavilion and reopened the mountain gate to return to the main peak, Song Yu felt that he had even developed his abdominal muscles.
It's quite sad to think about it. No matter how hard Song Yu practiced in the game, he could only develop a series of numerical values - even because his level was locked, he didn't even have any explicit numerical values. When all the dust settled, Song Yu returned to reality. He was thankful that his muscles were not atrophied under the protection of the game cabin. There was no way that a thin dog could turn into a macho man because of this.
That is to say, the willpower developed through persistence can be inherited into reality... But the problem is that when he honed his gaming skills in the past, Song Yu was a person who was extremely tolerant of repeated operations and frustration. So he does not lack this kind of willpower.
Song Yu didn't dare to think any further. The more I thought about it, the sadder I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I might as well lie down during this period.
"I think I'm so familiar with these sword moves that I can use them even if I leave the game." Song Yu held the wooden sword, his eyes unfocused, as if he wasn't looking at anything, and seemed to be looking at an extremely far away place. There was a sense of detachment and refinement in his expression, as if nothing could ever pass his eyes.
Xie Nanshi ignored Song Yu's tricks: "We can set off tomorrow."
Song Yu, who had just looked like an expert from this world, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately returned to the land from the clouds. His face was full of relief and joy: "Oh? What did you find?"
Jie Nanshi shook his head: "The disciples who have been sent down the mountain to investigate in the past few days have not found any traces of the Strange Ghost King, and no cracks leading to other worlds have been found around the sword pavilion. However, the range where Guixu once appeared has been roughly determined."
That is, there is no clue yet...Song Yu's decadence is visible to the naked eye. But then I thought about it, the protagonist hasn’t arrived yet, so it’s normal that I can’t find the information! For a moment, I felt that I could do it again: "You must not have had much rest in the past two days! Get some rest early, and we will leave early tomorrow."
Xie Nanshi responded and walked directly to the couch to meditate. In fact, his own wing was nearby, but he had become accustomed to practicing by Song Yu's side for so long, so he subconsciously came to the couch to rest and meditate...
Song Yu didn't think anything was wrong. In order to prevent himself from insomnia due to excitement, he simply let himself fall asleep with one click as soon as he went to bed.
…
"Song Yu! Please help me tell Master that I want to go down the mountain with you!"
Early the next morning, Yun Lang rushed in in a hurry. Before he could take two steps, he was startled by Xie Nanshi who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His tongue was curled up immediately: "Master, Master, Master... …”
"How unbecoming is it to enter a room without knocking?" Xie Nanshi did not open his eyes, but kept a sullen face, and spoke in a solemn and slow voice. He was very dignified as a teacher and frightened Yun Lang.
Song Yu yawned and got up from the bed. In fact, he had slept for more than the eight hours set by the system. He woke up and fell asleep again: "Xiao Yunlang, you were in the dormitory so early in the morning. What are you calling?"
"I..." Yun Lang looked at Xie Nanshi and Song Yu aggrievedly. How did he know that the master would stay here overnight, otherwise he would not have rushed in so rashly. The young man tidied up his appearance again to meet Xie Nanshi's standards, and then solemnly bowed to Xie Nanshi: "Master, can you take me with you when you go down the mountain this time?"
Xie Nanshi refused directly: "No. You haven't arrived yet."
"But Master, I want to follow you..."
Yun Lang looked at Jie Nanshi with admiration, which made Song Yu's teeth sour. Who picked this kid up? How come I am closer to Xiaodao than I am to myself?
After finally seeing Master return to the mountain gate, it turns out that Xie Nanshi has been busy with affairs in the mountain. This is nothing as a disciple and should be considerate if he cannot share the worries of Master. But after finally waiting for many things, Yun Lang's mentality collapsed: "It's not fair, why can Song Yu follow you, but I can't!"
Jie Nanshi frowned, but before he could speak, Song Yu stepped forward and slapped Yun Lang on the head: "You are stupid, I am not a disciple of Jiange, and neither is your pavilion master. My master. I don’t need to listen to him, what about you?”
Yun Lang was speechless. He was so angry that he didn't react. But I have to say, he was really frustrated.
"We are going to the back mountain today. You can follow us to the entrance of the back mountain." Xie Nanshi stood up and put on his coat: "If you have anything, you can ask me on the way."
"Yes!" Although Yun Lang had a bad temper, he was also easy to coax. Now he was happy again. He turned around and ran out: "Master and Mr. Song, wait for me. I will get you breakfast, and then we will Let’s go!”
Song Yu stood next to Jie Nanshi with his arms crossed, and said with a smile: "A cold face but a kind heart, but what he says is not true."
Jie Nanshi glanced at Song Yu lightly and ignored him.
…
When going down the mountain, Yun Lang forced Qi Tong to come with him to see him off, and successfully became Qi Tong's mouthpiece, helping him to ask all the questions Qi Tong encountered during his training.
Qi Tong was much more steady and silent than when they first met Song Yu, but after all, Xie Nanshi was the person he admired most since childhood. Under his guidance, he gradually regained his youthful vigor.
Xie Nanshi answered them one by one equally, and the four of them walked along like this. Unfortunately, the back mountain is not far from the main peak. Even if the four of them deliberately slowed down, they still arrived at the back mountain before noon.
Xie Nanshi did not ask the two children to go back immediately, but explained all the remaining issues. While Xie Nanshi was demonstrating moves to Qi Tong, Song Yu hooked Yun Lang's shoulders aside and said, "You are kind-hearted. You gave up this rare opportunity to get along. Don't you regret it?"
Yun Lang snorted: "You are looking down on me too much. I can't bear to part with my master, but Qitong is also my brother, so why should I be reluctant to let him go!"
Song Yu smiled and ruffled Yun Lang's hair completely: "Okay, you are very loyal."
Yun Lang didn't resist at first, but he became impatient after being rubbed and slapped Song Yu's hand away, but his eyes were full of smiles. After Qi Tong thoroughly understood the sword moves, the two children reluctantly told him.
"Master, when I grow older, I will go down the mountain to look for you! And Mr. Song, please take care of yourself. Don't die before I can protect you!" After Yun Lang finished shouting, he pulled Qi Tong ran back.
Song Yu was stunned for a long time and asked Xie Nanshi in disbelief: "Did he just curse me?"
Jie Nanshi's lips curved slightly: "Let's go."
Master Song is not happy. Now Master Song feels that when he rubbed the child's hair just now, he should pull out a few more hairs!
…
The midday sun penetrated the dense forest and cast mottled shadows on the ground.
Although this was Song Yu's second visit to Back Mountain, it was also his first time to carefully observe this place. It was far calmer and more peaceful than he imagined.
"The back mountain was originally a place for disciples of Jiange to practice. Before the strange ghosts and beasts appeared, there were many ferocious beasts here." Xie Nanshi stepped on the leaves to clear the way in front, and also explained to Song Yu.
Song Yu still remembered the background introduction. Before the gaps in the other world appeared, this world was not full of spiritual energy. It just had more cultivation methods than the ancient world. After the gap appeared, strange ghosts and beasts were rampant, but it also brought abundant spiritual energy: "If the gap disappears one day, this world will be completely disconnected from other worlds, and I am afraid it will return to the end of the law."
At this moment, Song Yu suddenly understood why Yan Rui felt that cooperating with the Ghost King was the best choice for the world. With the support of spiritual energy, he could practice heavenly methods and enjoy immortality. Under such circumstances, who would want to return to ordinary life?
"That should be a matter of universal celebration." Xie Nanshi did not look back, and his tone was calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.
The invasion from another world caused suffering to the people. How many people had their souls devoured unknowingly, and how many people died fighting for the people. What's more, in their world, there are more ordinary people than monks, so there is no reason to sacrifice more people for the sake of immortality. The White Walkers shouldn't exist, so they'll just go back to where they came from.
Song Yu couldn't help laughing: "As expected of a little Taoist priest, his logic is clear."
He is not good at words but has a sincere heart. I don’t know if it was set like this from the beginning, or if the Taoist priest gradually broke away from the control of the game and developed his true personality.
After the alien world came, the ferocious beasts in the back mountain became more ferocious, so it became a forbidden area. Every year, only the inner disciples and elders would regularly go to the back mountain to consolidate the formations, get rid of the ferocious beasts that pose a greater threat to humans, and prevent the ferocious beasts from rushing into mortal towns.
Perhaps because of Jie Nanshi's sword energy, the two of them did not encounter any ferocious beasts along the way, but Song Yu did see a little rabbit. He doesn't hide when he sees people, he tilts his head and looks in their direction, which is quite cute. It reminded Song Yu of Spicy Rabbit Head.
"It's just a little further on."
After hearing Xie Nanshi's words, Song Yu looked back with regret. I hope that when I meet Little Bunny again, it will still be so plump...ah no, cute.
The range pointed out by the four elders was not too small. After all, they did not actually see the crack at that time, but relied on the direction given by their perception.
Jie Nanshi and Song Yu spent a whole day wandering around the area but could not find any clues. This is normal. After all, the elders sent their disciples to search for so long but couldn't find any cracks. It would be weird if they could find it so easily.
"Guixu can move." Song Yu remembered what the White Walker King once said, and felt a little headache for a moment, and said in an unconventional way: "You said that since people from other worlds can enter this world, is it possible for people from this world to enter?" In another world? Would it be easier to find Guixu from another world?"
Xie Nanshi was stunned for a moment. So many years ago, everyone was trying to defend themselves against ghosts and beasts. It seemed that no one had ever considered the option of reverse invasion.
