The middle-aged man rubbed his forehead. He really had nothing to do with his little princess, so he could only sigh:
"The old man is good at everything, but his bones are a bit poor. He is about to be buried in the middle stage of foundation construction... But because he is experienced and seasoned, he can handle this secret operation, so he has nothing to do with us!"
Naturally, Li Yundong didn't know that he had been targeted. The middle-aged man had extremely high cultivation and was observant. Although he only appeared once, his "extraordinary" qualities were still discovered.
At this moment, he came to the foundation-building monk competition area, intending to see if there was a suitable partner before making any plans.
Almost as soon as he appeared, the eyes of the man in the VIP box suddenly lit up.
"Miss, he's here!"
The pink gauze curtain was opened by a pair of small hands, and a little foot stretched out from behind the gauze curtain and stepped on the ground with a snap.
But I saw a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl jumping out from behind the gauze curtain with her hands behind her back. Her black hair was naturally tied into some exquisite knots, and there were some exquisite hair accessories on it. Her face was even more charming. The bullet can be broken, the eyes are bright and the vision is good, the lips are red and the teeth are white.
The girl pouted and walked to the small window in front of the private room with her hands behind her back. The small window had a great view. She could only look out from the inside, but she couldn't see inside from the outside.
"Miss, you just have to watch him fight!"
The middle-aged man said.
The girl nodded sharply, and then stared at everything below.
Seeing that the old man picked a monk who was in the late stage of foundation building,
Seeing the old man buying a huge amount of money to bet on himself to win, he had a bad smile on his face.
Seeing that old man hiding his clumsiness and winning steadily in the arena, he thought he was doing a good job.
The girl curled her lips after reading it.
"Whatever, you want him to join, I have no objection. This old man does have some strength, but he is timid and timid, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is not what I like! I still like my brother Hao Lang! With him here this time, I can still sit back and relax! Brother Hao Lang is the real hero, he is young and promising! I, Yu Lier, will also be a person like Brother Hao Lang!"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly when he heard this. Hao Lang is his young lady's senior brother. Both of them are practicing in Yingtian Mansion in the imperial capital. As the head of the five major sects in the Central Plains, Yingtian Mansion is also the well-deserved No. 1 sect in the world! Since Yu Li'er's fifth After joining Yingtian Mansion years ago, the two of them got to know each other!
It’s no exaggeration to say they are childhood sweethearts!
This time the "Secret Ancient" secret realm of Luodu is opened. The nearest entrance is on the outskirts of Luodu. There are also entrances in other places, but they are relatively far away. For example, there seems to be one in Miao territory.
This small secret realm is actually a small broken plane that has been wandering in the void. Every once in a while, it will approach the ground. The powerful will open a passage in the weak point of the space.
It is worth mentioning that this lost little plane is much smaller than the earth boundary, so although there is a certain pattern every time you approach the earth boundary, it is not necessarily the closest in the Central Plains. Historically, sometimes it was in the wilderness, and sometimes even in the wilderness. The land of monsters in the boundless sea.
This time is the moment when the "Yougu" secret realm is close to the earth again. In terms of space, the Central Plains giant sensed with great supernatural powers that the two weakest points closest to the land are Luodu and Miaojiang!
In other words, this opportunity in the ancient secret realm belongs to the Central Plains!
However, due to the extremely unstable space, previous experience has shown that once a monk who has surpassed the pill formation enters, the passage behind the entrance will be in danger of collapse.
Therefore, basically all the major forces will send monks below the level of Dan to explore the opportunities. Of course, the selected ones will be the outstanding juniors of each force!
…
A few days later, in a huge courtyard, a girl stood in front of a plum blossom. The Lantern Festival had just passed, and the plum blossom was still there. Moreover, there had been a moderate snowfall in Luodu in the past few days, and it is still there. Snowflakes are falling.
Girl, plum blossoms, falling snow. This scene seems quite touching.
Next to the girl was an old man in black robe. This old man was naturally Li Yun.
The middle-aged man later approached Li Yundong and told him about the secret realm of "Yougu". Li Yundong agreed after thinking about it for a while. This is a great place! This is a great opportunity for the children of major aristocratic families. Under normal circumstances, He is not qualified to enter!
Now that he has this opportunity, of course he wants to find it! Since it is limited to the pill formation, he believes in his own strength.
Before entering the secret realm, he will always follow Yu Li'er to adapt to his identity as a guard, and he does not intend to reveal his true identity to others.
"Most creatures in the world yearn for spring. Only these cold plum blossoms bloom in the twelfth lunar month and during this cold spring time. Look how beautiful she is! Like her, I also like this winter with fluttering snowflakes!"
Yu Li'er leaned close to a plum blossom and muttered to herself, or maybe she said to Li Yundong who looked like a piece of wood beside her?
"You've been with me for several days and barely said a word. Don't you find it boring?"
Yu Lier said without looking back,
"No wonder I'm still only in the middle stage of foundation building..."
After Yu Li'er said this, she immediately felt a little hurtful. Although she was petite, she was very kind. She had been familiar with the deeds of saints since she was a child, and also loved biographies in the secular world. It can be said that if Yu Li'er was in the secular world, she would definitely be She is a Confucian scholar.
But as a monk, she was still tainted with this color.
"I'm sorry, I just think people should have a better mentality and be more cheerful..."
Yu Li'er looked back at Li Yundong, who still had no expression on his face. She suddenly felt that she was worrying too much.
"My little princess, do you know why the creatures in the world yearn for spring?"
Li Yundong suddenly said, he had learned the identity of Yu Li'er in the past few days, the little princess of the imperial dynasty! This really surprised him. This may be the most distinguished person he has ever seen.
Yu Li'er turned her head and looked at Li Yundong seriously. After all, this was the first time that the latter spoke.
"Because in this vast world, most living beings cannot control their own destiny. Most of them are just ants, fighting for their way in the world. And in this world, it is freezing cold most of the time, especially those of our generation of monks. The road to immortality is like a drama! Because of this, most creatures yearn for the bright beauty of spring."
Li Yun Dong spoke leisurely.
"You said you like winter, just like these plum blossoms, but from my perspective, you are different!"
"Oh? Why is it different?"
Yu Li'er spoke curiously. She felt that Li Yundong's words were as depressing as his own. Why was it so "cold and freezing" on the Immortal Road? She felt that she had brother Hao Lang, a very good best friend, and of course a master who loved her very much. She also had many suitors in Yingtian Mansion, so it was so lively!
How could such a fairyland be so cold? It's springtime, okay!
It was because the old man in front of him saw the world as too gloomy that he ended up like this.
However, although she did not agree with Li Yundong's words, she still wanted to continue listening out of politeness.
"Plum blossoms, feeling the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month and the dead coldness of winter, still bloom with such a bright red color. It is because after experiencing the coldness of winter, they still love this winter alone, but you have not seen this clearly. Everything in winter, therefore, this kind of love is not called love, it is just an embellishment in your happy life."
Li Yundong spoke calmly. From his appearance to his voice, he was so calm at the moment.
Although he had hardly spoken in the past few days, he roughly knew that the girl in front of him had been extremely carefree since she was a child, and she also liked heroic novels in the secular world. When he lived alone on the outskirts of Qingping Village, in order to cope with the boring life In addition to cultivating flowers, I also read a lot of books about the secular world. Such biographies of heroes are very common in private schools in Qingping Village and in the homes of villagers.
"You are wrong. Look at those heroes. They are all high-spirited and happy. How can they be as miserable as you said?"
"Then, if the world is really as bright as that spring day, in the ending of the hero's biography, can the hero still be at ease?"
"this…"
Yu Lier was speechless. It seemed that in many biographies, the heroes either lived in seclusion or... ended sadly, but their bright lives covered up the sad ending.
Li Yundong only saw a lot more of this kind of thing than she did.
"Most things in this world will have many regrets. The so-called heroes only exist in romance novels. Everyone in the world yearns for them, but in the end they cannot succeed. Those who praise heroes are all storytellers. No hero will praise himself. That is because only They themselves know how lonely they are, and only they know how depressing this world of mortals is, to the point where even heroes feel miserable."
"What you said is just your own narrow opinion. You are far from a hero..."
Yu Li'er was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the old man in front of her, who lived a somewhat "wretched" life, seemed to have read those books! But obviously I didn’t read the “essence”!
Li Yundong smiled and said nothing. He knew very well that in today's world, there was indeed a hero that Yu Li'er was fascinated by. He also knew that there was such a one - Wang Ziming. He was a true gentleman with the world in mind and ambition. ambitious.
However, Li Yundong always had an intuition that this clean young hero might feel sad...
At this moment, two figures walked over, one of them was tall and straight, with a dignified appearance, exuding the spiritual pressure of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and a pair of eyes that were shining like lightning with a captivating luster. Next to him is a pretty woman. The woman looks gentle and graceful, and is extremely pleasant.
When Yu Li'er saw this, she looked happy and ignored Li Yundong. She raised her little feet and rushed towards the woman.
"Sister Liang!"
Yu Li'er nuzzled into the gentle woman's arms, and the relationship between the two was extremely close.
"Xiao Li'er, how can you make your brother Hao Lang feel so embarrassed like this! He's almost jealous of me!"
The gentle woman touched Yu Li'er's little head lovingly.
When Yu Li'er heard this, her little face turned bright red, and she said shyly, "Oh! Sister Liang is so annoying!"
As Yu Li'er spoke, she glanced at the tall and handsome man beside her with her big eyes between her fingers. The latter was smiling slightly and his eyes were full of gentleness.
That man was none other than Hao Lang, whom Yu Li'er admired so much.
Hao Lang never glanced at the old man Li Yundong pretended to be. In his eyes, the latter was probably just an old servant in the mansion.
Hao Lang's eyes lit up when he saw the gorgeous winter plum not far away.
“What a winter plum, set against the falling snow, it’s really beautiful!”
"Yes! Brother Hao Lang, I think so too!"
