Hearing this, Ling Ran felt lost.

A long time ago, according to the current statement, Cangyun Continent was full of spiritual energy, rich in treasures, and there were many cultivators.

It's just that slowly, for some reason, the years have passed, the aura is lacking, and there are fewer and fewer immortal cultivators, until now they are almost extinct.

The only thing people know is that there are immortals in Zhongzhou, and then there is the land of abundance.

"It's okay! you can go to Zhongzhou to practice!" Ling Ran comforted,

"If you feel that Lu Yuan is too far to go, I will take you there in the future!"

"Poof!"

Xiao Xiao was immediately amused by Ling Ran and returned to the appearance of a little girl,

"Yes, maybe when you regain your memory and remember your home in Middle-earth, you can take me to Middle-earth. Xiao Xiao nodded and said happily.

Ling Ran agreed.

It's just that Ling Ran knows that his home is not in Zhongzhou, and Xiao Xiao knows how difficult it is for her to leave He Yaoju.

How many things are in my heart, and I will pay in the green mountains.

"Would you like to taste it?" Ling Ran said vaguely as he held half a piece of cake in his mouth, carrying the basket on his back.

"Eat your flatbread!"

The duo has recovered from their injuries and has no obstacles to walking.

"Can we go home?" Ling Ran said with big eyes and pointing to the broken back basket.

Xiao Xiao rolled his big eyes and smiled slyly,

"Take you somewhere. ”

After speaking, it was not negotiable, and he went on the road with a pair of small hands on his back.

Ling Ran had no choice but to follow.

This time, Xiao Xiao didn't look for medicinal plants along the way, and went straight to the road.

In Ling Ran's eyes, it was difficult to distinguish the same snow and woods all around, but Xiao Xiao seemed to be very familiar with this place, and he walked so fast that Ling Ran could have a hard time following him.

Fortunately, it was not far away, and it didn't take long to reach the destination.

Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ling Ran.

Ling Ran didn't know why, and looked around.

It seemed a little familiar, until I saw the tall and lush tree in front of me.

Just like Ling Ran remembered, it was still so tall and crisp. Ling Ran thought for a moment that he was confused and his memory was confused.

It wasn't until today that Xiao Xiao took him back to his "hometown" that Ling Ran knew that this was a giant tree like no other.

"What about the pit?"

Xiao Xiao couldn't have guessed that Ling Ran's first sentence would be to ask her about the pit?

"I filled it in, I dug it before, and I filled it in after I buried you that day. ”

Xiao Xiao said patiently.

She was a little speechless, she thought that Ling Ran would be as curious about this strange giant tree as she had seen the giant tree for the first time, but she didn't expect that what Ling Ran was curious about was the pit.

"That's good", Ling Ran was relieved, he didn't come to bury him back.

"Aren't you curious about this tree?" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but say,

"You see that the surroundings are bare, but this one is perennial and brittle, full of vitality!"

"There is nothing strange in the world," Ling Ran replied casually.

Curiosity is also curiosity, but since Xiao Xiaote brought him over to see, he must have said something back to him, Ling Ran is not in a hurry.

Sure enough, Xiao Xiao continued: "Originally, I didn't plan to tell you, but since you have penetrated the zenith gate today, you may really have a different talent from ordinary people in cultivating immortals, so,"

Xiao Xiao paused, and then said: "You promise first, I will tell you this secret, you tell me what you know or what you think!"

"Hmm. ”

Ling Ran agreed without thinking about it, and the promise was clear and crisp.

Xiao Xiao continued: "I followed my grandfather to the Northern Wilderness, first, it is quiet and undisturbed here, and I can cultivate with peace of mind. The second is to follow her grandfather to learn her inheritance......"

As Xiao Xiao spoke carefully, Ling Ran realized that the Northern Wilderness, which seemed to outsiders to be just a barren snow ridge, was actually a treasure land that Yan Cheng was discovering.

For some reason, there are many rare treasures of heaven and earth growing here, but due to the perennial snow, many trees and treasures are hidden under the snow quilt, and outsiders seem to be just barren snowland, so naturally no one will come here to waste time.

But in the early years, Yan Cheng had already made some achievements in the nose, and in order to develop He Yaoju, he traveled around looking for treasures of heaven and earth, and accidentally found that there seemed to be something unusual about the Northern Wilderness.

When he discovered this giant tree, which was verdant all year round, he felt that this place was even more unusual. After careful investigation, it was found that there seemed to be many rare treasures of heaven and earth hidden under this snow.

Only He Yaoju knows about this, and He Ruoju's rapid rise in the past has a great relationship with the back garden of the Northern Wilderness.

It's just that after He Ruo's death, Yan Cheng lay down with serious injuries for a year, and too much happened during this period. Finding that the current situation was no longer under control, Yan Cheng took Xiao Xiao to the Northern Wilderness in the name of cultivation and study.

"Grandpa said that over the years, he has walked countless times in the Northern Wilderness, and he feels that this secret must have something to do with this giant tree! ”

After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, he stared at Ling Ran without blinking.

Ling Ran was stared at by her and felt uncomfortable, "Look at what I'm doing, I'm not familiar with this." ”

Xiao Xiao continued to stare at Ling Ran, and just as Ling Ran was thinking about how to answer Xiao Xiao,

"Are you this big tree a refinement?"

Ling Ran almost squirted out,

"If I were a big tree spirit, would I still be able to bury myself in a pit and be beaten by you?" Ling Ran was speechless.

"Yes. Xiao Xiao nodded,

"And what do you think about that?"

Ling Ran touched his chin and thought about it seriously, he crossed over, and coincidentally arrived under this weird big tree, if he wanted to say that this tree was fine, he didn't believe it himself.

"I can't say what I think for a while, but Lao Yantou's suspicions must be reasonable. Maybe there's something buried deep underground, that's why this land has these anomalies. ”

"What's buried in the ground?"

When Xiao Xiao heard this, she stared at her eyes and sniffed it very carefully, but she couldn't smell anything except the fragrance of the treasure materials, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Seeing that she was suffering from such gains and losses, Ling Ran couldn't help but think of the delirious realm mentioned in "Essays on Cultivating Immortals", if ordinary immortal cultivators are too obsessed, they can easily fall into this situation and become delirious.

He hurriedly said solemnly: "Actually, what secrets are there in this place, why do we want to find out? We should be grateful to this land for getting these rare treasures!"

Xiao Xiao was woken up by Ling Ran's sudden loud shout, only then did he realize that his mood had become chaotic because of the recent news from the clan, but fortunately he was awakened by Ling Ran's words.

Yes, there are countless secrets in this world, and I am actually obsessed with this. Xiao Xiao believes that as long as he works hard enough, he will definitely be able to do what he wants to do.

She looked at Ling Ran with some gratitude,

"That's right, how long have you been reading the essays, do you know so much?"

Ling Ran was praised by Xiao Xiao for no reason, and was a little embarrassed, seeing that Xiao Xiao was fine, he was much relieved, and said with a shy face,

"It's all taught by Xiao Xiao!"

The sycophant marks are too clumsy.

In fact, Ling Ran was right, on the road of cultivating immortals and enlightenment, Xiao Xiao undoubtedly taught him a lot, although Xiao Xiao himself also knew a lot.

How to say it, just like students without a teacher, learning and communicating with each other, the first to start will always teach what she understands to the later one, and the one who starts later will add their own understanding and improve each other.

It's clumsy, but it's better than nothing.

"Ling Ran, this place has to be remembered. ”

"Why?" Ling Ran didn't know.

"Hmm...... Doesn't this place mean a lot to you?" Xiao Xiao said after thinking for a while.

Ling Ran turned his head and carefully identified the direction,

"Okay! I remember!"

"Remember the path you walked today, too,"

"I don't remember the way, how did you get here?" Xiao Xiao added.

Ling Ran nodded, feeling that Xiao Xiao's tone had some different feelings.

After Ling Ran and Xiao Xiao returned to the small courtyard in the mountains in embarrassment, Lao Yantou's face was black, and he scolded the two of them.

scolded Xiao Xiao for staying in the mountains for so long, and he didn't know the danger.

Scolding Ling Ran for so long to come back, the old man was already hungry!

Ling Ran and Xiao Xiao lowered their heads and glanced at each other, neither of them telling Lao Yantou about the black-skinned wild boar he encountered in the mountains, so as not to worry him.

After scolding enough, Ling Ran touched his nose and hurried to the kitchen to cook, not under the pressure of Lao Yantou, but,

He was also hungry.

Looking at the plate of pickles and two bowls of rice on the table, Lao Yan's brows tightened together,

"Ling boy, the old man is hungry for a day, so he eats this?"

Ling Ran quickly picked up the rice, ate it very fragrantly, and said vaguely in his mouth,

"Old Yantou, you will take a moment and cook you a big meal tomorrow. ”

Tomorrow?

Old Yantou seemed to remember something,

Tomorrow is the time for a big meal.

Seeing that Ling Ran was eating hard, Lao Yantou also picked up the bowl and pulled it up fiercely,

That momentum is not inferior to Ling Ran.

The next day, the weather was fine, and Ling Ran began to work in the kitchen early in the morning.

In the courtyard, Xiao Xiao was studying with Lao Yantou as usual,

"Why didn't Ling Ran stay in the kitchen early in the morning and didn't come out today?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

At this time on weekdays, Ling Ran was mostly reading books and cultivating.

"Whatever", Lao Yantou said happily, but his eyes looked at the West Courtyard, revealing great eagerness, and he licked his mouth.

The winter sun set early, the lights were on, and Ling Ran, who had been busy all day, called Lao Yantou and Xiao Xiao to the table.

Old Yantou rubbed his hands excitedly, because he saw a large table of good dishes.

"Braised pig's trotters, steamed fish, stir-fried fat sausage......"

Every time Ling Ran introduced it, Lao Yan's head drooled, and Xiao Xiao on the side was already shocked by Ling Ran's cooking skills.

"How do you do so much today?" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but swallow and asked.

"Because today is Prayer Day!" Ling Ran said proudly.

On Soul Day, all Cangyun people will reunite with their families and have a big meal.

He beckoned the two of them to sit down, and Lao Yantou couldn't help but start eating, but Ling Ran interrupted him,

"It is customary for us to pray to the spirit, express our gratitude before making a wish. ”

Xiao Xiao cooperated very happily, she had almost forgotten this most important festival for Cangyun people, and she had never experienced the feeling of reuniting with her family for a long time. Today's dinner full of Ling Ran made her find a feeling she hadn't felt for a long time.

She closed her eyes and began to pray.

Lao Yantou wanted to stop eating despite Ling Ran's obstruction, but seeing Xiao Xiao like this, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Ling Ran also closed his eyes and began to pray.

Dinner was spent in a lively atmosphere of feasting and laughter.

Xiao Xiao insisted on not eating, but she was also very happy. When the two of them were drunk, he secretly rewarded himself with a jelly bean.

In the far south, there are lights everywhere, lively and lively, filled with a festive atmosphere.

The atmosphere in He Yaoju is also lively, but there is always something different in this liveliness.

After this Prayer Day, the day is a little closer.
