The old man in black clothes and white hair, carrying a thin bamboo basket, hurried to his residence. Those few notes, a few coins, no longer let him take it to heart at the moment. But the Dao Gu and the boy behind him chased unhurriedly, as if they had foreseen the old man's reaction.

After walking out of the town in this way, after a short walk, they came to a bamboo forest, which was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and the scene behind it was faintly visible, as if it would not stop a few people. The old man stopped in front of the bamboo forest, and beckoned to the people behind him: "Look, follow up!"

Immediately after, but seeing the old man clapping his hands towards the mist, a circle slowly grew on the fog where he was facing, and the circle was transparent and bright, but the circle was ethereal and illusory, like a painting hanging on the wall, and the circle gradually grew larger, big enough to allow people to pass through, so the old man walked forward and walked into it.

The old man's figure had disappeared as he stepped into the circle, but Dao Gu stood stunned, and when the old man's urging voice came out of the circle, she followed step by step. In this way, when you enter the inner and step over, it is a completely different scene, which makes the Taoist aunt can't help but admire again and again. The old man said without looking back: "It's just some beginner's skills, a trick of the last class, if it's a big fuss...... There is still a long way to go, and it is important to improve the cultivation. ”

Dao Gu was gloomy, Fang Jue felt that the depth of her cultivation should be seen through by the old man at a glance, she had consciously grasped the weakness of the old man, so that the old man did not dare to act rashly against herself, a visitor from her hometown, but the latter was only a little, which had already made her lose face in front of the two disciples. Dao Gu had to follow closely, and no longer held the shelf when she came.

It's not a bamboo forest, it's not like a neighboring town, it's just a wide, calm river that doesn't know where it comes from or where it flows.

"Here, when did there be such a river?" Dao Gu was puzzled in her heart, the old man had taken out a map and threw it at her, she received it in her hand, opened the book and was shocked, and asked the boy to open the map he carried with him to compare, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Senior, why is your map different from the poor road?"

The old man sighed lightly and replied leisurely: "The one I gave you is a fragment cut from the "Looking for the East and Looking at the Sea" made by an unknown tourist a long time ago, and the original picture was completed more than a thousand years ago. Later, Yu and Taoist friends found this place with fragments, although the time has passed, but the realm has not moved, there is still no one to settle here, so the enclosure is home, concentrating on meditation, accompanied by wind and flowers, rain and dew, sleeping with the stars and frost moon, time flies in a hurry, and there are five hundred years. And the herdsmen moved westward and built the country...... It's all later. ”

Dao Gu gradually understood, and said with emotion: "In this way, that fragment must only be kept in the hands of the predecessors, with that technique, since the predecessors, others have not appeared in the eyes of the world since the establishment of the Xizhang Kingdom, and no one in the Xizhang Country will know that the two rivers in their country are actually a complete river." ”

"But no. The old man replied, "The truth is...... Although we have exclusive possession of this fragment, since the founding of the country, the rumors that the two rivers flow together have never stopped, although I know very well that every uninvited guest who has visited here has been sent away by the two of us without leakage, and there is no reason to discover this river, but the fact is that we live on the banks of this river day and night, and we can't deceive ourselves first, how can we believe that we can deceive others?"

At this time, I suddenly heard a loud voice from the other side of the river, "Fellow Daoist...... Have you attracted guests but didn't know about me?" A meditating old man floated leisurely from behind a big thick tree on the shore, and as the old man slowly stood still, his scattered black hair was tied up on its own, without him having to raise his hand to do it.

The white-haired cultivator took a few steps forward and said, "It's not too early, let's take the head back first!" Although his voice was soft, it reached the ears of the nearby Dao Gu and the black-haired cultivator in the distance.

"Good!" replied the dark-haired cultivator on the other side.

"Master?" Dao Gu was stunned, and hurriedly asked the old man, "Which sect is the head of the sect that the predecessor said?"

The white-haired cultivator looked up at the sky and said word by word: "It is the sect of secular martial artists, the head of the practice of the hidden sect. Ignoring Dao Gu's reaction, he raised his left hand lightly, flipped it violently, and pointed his sword at the sky. The black-haired cultivator on the other side was doing the same thing as him, and he saw that the two of them were meeting their eyes and fingertips, meeting in the high-altitude flowing clouds above the river......

Dao Gu was surprised how these two reclusive cultivators had something to do with the worldly martial arts sect, and suddenly noticed a hint of something unusual, she only felt that her mana flowed out of her pores uncontrollably, winding into a visible silky aura, and together with the aura in the surrounding scene, it was mobilized and converged towards the air pointed by the two cultivators.

"Ah......" was helpless against this outpouring situation, Dao Gu was suddenly deflated and collapsed on the spot, but the two boys who had no cultivation did not know what she had experienced, so they could only leave the luggage in their hands to help. The white-haired cultivator was not distracted, and had completed this spell with his companions, only to see a sudden shock between the flowing clouds, and the sound and light and shadow were in an extreme conflict like thunder in an instant, and then the afterglow faded, but in mid-air outlined a fine texture and outline, which was a formation hidden in the clouds, the caster completely concealed its shape, and even cut off the connection between the array and the outside world, so that it did not show a trace in the countless flowing clouds alternately, but only this slight wave of afterglow, has revealed the vast power and endless mysteries in this formation, such a big opening and closing, happy and free, not the initiator of this array can not do it。

"Collect!" the two old men shouted together, and they saw two cold lights suddenly flying out of the formation, each flying into the hands of the two, which was the sword of the two of them, and it was also the spiritual weapon that was in the eye of the formation. As the eye of the array was unsealed, the spiritual power in the array fell from the sky like a meteor, like rain, and this formation also began to disintegrate, but it did not disappear in an instant, but a force that slowly dissipated, like a hand holding something, slowly falling down.

After a while, Dao Gu saw from her squinted eyes that what was hidden in that array was actually a small boat, if the status quo was maintained, it would be able to fall safely on the water after a while, but at this moment, someone's laughter suddenly came from the boat:

"Hahahaha......"

The faces of the two old men changed slightly, as if they were surprised, as if they were puzzled, and then they listened to the man in the boat continue:

"Two seniors, you don't have to wake me up like this anymore!"

The complicated expressions on their faces have changed to simple surprise and anticipation with this sentence.

A slender silver light emitted from the ship, breaking through the top of the ship, and in the moment when the silver light was fleeting, the boat seemed to be still in the air, and then in the next moment, hundreds of thousands of countless silver lights emitted from all directions of the ship, and the power of each line should not be underestimated, and before everyone could react, the boat was already shattered. And in the midst of the debris falling into the river, a white figure has quietly stood on the surface of the water for some time, as if standing on the flat ground, and even the chaotic ripples caused by the falling objects have calmed down mysteriously around him.

The two old men were stunned for a long time, and then they congratulated together: "Congratulations on the master's internal strength!"

"Thanks to the help of two seniors!" the head of the house said to the old men on both sides of the strait, "but it's not too early now, let's talk about it after eating first!" As he spoke, he got up with the wind on the soles of his feet on the water, and took two steps like a dragonfly touching the water, and had already gone ashore to the white-haired cultivator's side, and reached out to take the bamboo basket again.

"Hey, wait!" the white-haired cultivator said hurriedly, "Master, I ......"

Before he finished speaking, the head of the sect had already taken out two vegetarian buns from the bamboo basket and handed them over, nodded to the white-haired cultivator, and walked to the side to eat without saying a word.

The white-haired cultivator walked towards Dao Gu and the two boys with a bun, "Can you be able to open the valley now?" he asked Dao Gu, looking at Dao Gu's embarrassed look, which was the answer he already knew in his heart, he chuckled, "Then let's practice from now on!"

The bun was delivered to the boy's hand, but the white-haired cultivator led Dao Gu to the direction of the river, only to see him wave his hand, and he saw several green squares emerging from the bottom of the river. The stone slabs lined up in a line, connecting the two banks, the old man walked on it, and Dao Gu followed with confidence, until the two crossed the river, the white-haired cultivator turned around and waved his hand, and the stone slab slowly sank again, he looked at the restored water and said to himself: "That ship...... It's a pity. ”

At this time, the black-haired cultivator had already arrived in front of the two, and he asked the white-haired cultivator directly, "Who did your friend bring here?" The white-haired cultivator glanced at Dao Gu slightly, and Dao Gu stepped forward and bowed: "Disciple Xianhui, learn from the Venerable Master, and meet the two masters!"

"What kind of Venerable Master are you talking about?" The black-haired cultivator looked confused, it was a name he had never heard of, but the white-haired cultivator seemed to be startled, patted the former's arm and said, "Friend! It's a little stone!

"This ......," the black-haired cultivator fell into deep thought, "Ahhhh

Xianhui replied: "Uncle Hui, surnamed Qin." ”

"Not bad...... It's him...... At the beginning, he was the only disciple surnamed Qin. The black-haired cultivator nodded, and then fell silent. "You don't see your master often, do you?" asked the white-haired cultivator.

"Master, he ......" Xianhui pondered for a long time before he said: "It is inconvenient for Shizun to go out, but he has also assigned several tasks to the disciple, and the disciple has met with Shizun a few times. “

The white-haired cultivator frowned slightly, "What's the matter?" you said that he was his apprentice, but he hadn't even been to the Heavenly Trail a few times?

Xianhui noticed the slight dissatisfaction in his tone, and couldn't help but tremble, and replied with his weak legs: "Sutianling has experienced an accident, and he also has a hard time. But now that the turmoil has been settled, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, the master sent me here to invite the two masters to go back to work for the reconstruction of the Tianling Mountains. “

The two old men were shocked, and they naturally knew what the "change" and the "hardship" meant, because this was also the reason why they left the school.

The black-haired cultivator wanted to speak again and again, because he knew that this Dao Gu would never know anything inside, so he only whispered a few words to the white-haired cultivator, then turned his back and stepped aside. The white-haired cultivator sent Shen Hui aside in a couple of sentences, and also followed the black-haired cultivator.

"I'm afraid the pattern of the Heavenly Ridge has changed a lot......" The black-haired cultivator clenched his fists and said word by word.

The white-haired cultivator was very relaxed, and said leisurely: "Friend, do you have a nostalgia?"

"Hmph!" the black-haired cultivator sneered, "My dislike for there hasn't changed in five hundred years! I'm just curious about what those mothers-in-law and mother-in-law can do to the Heavenly Mountains?"

The white-haired cultivator pursed his lips, "I'm willing to do what my friend wants, but our current business is to guide Yu Qing, if this goes with that explanation, how should Yu Qing arrange it?"

The black-haired cultivator hesitated, "This ......"

"The two seniors really don't have to worry about going down, if the seniors want to go out, I can go to the town every day to make a living, and then come back here to practice as usual. The voice of the head of the house suddenly came, and the two old men didn't seem to notice that he had quietly arrived.

"The head ......" the white-haired old man couldn't help but use honorifics again, "The shortcut to improve the strength that the two of us are pointing out by the head of the sect is to borrow the secret method of Taoist cultivation, relying on the extreme of turbidity and thinness, so that the head of the sect can keep the yuan and solidify the qi in a short period of time, and accumulate internal strength to cultivate, but he has skipped the most critical link of foundation building. And the matter of building the foundation is not trivial, and then through this unusual road, let alone be sloppy, the slightest mistake may become a disaster for the head of the family in the future, how dare I not take this responsibility?"

"The seniors are too careful!" The temperament of the teenager and the young man is different, and the difference is not very obvious in the delicate face of the head, but his simplicity is obviously not the immaturity of the child, although he can't say the beautiful words of the words, but every time he opens his lips and teeth, agitates the tongue, and the words radiated are loud and sound, which people dare not ignore, such as the natural arrogance, and the advantage is not flattering.

"This is the younger generation's quick success, if there is a mistake, it should be borne by me alone, but a month, the younger generation first integrated the sword moves hidden in the tragic sword, and practiced the skills to exquisite, and then borrowed the power of the predecessors, so that the internal strength was quickly completed. is really like God's help, and can be quickly achieved from the beginning to the present, but I don't know why the second elder has a future for the younger generation...... Not very optimistic?"

The black-haired cultivator said: "After all, the head of the sect is young, and the most lacking cultivation is the years, and the kung fu of such an evil sect as the tragic sword technique, even if it is your mentor, he did not dare to touch it easily, and the last hope he recruited the two of us to protect the sect was to still have lingering feelings about this sword technique." You said that if something happened here, we ...... Didn't you fail him?" he said, his voice trembling a little.

The head was also slightly moved, he let out a long sigh, stood quietly in place, waiting for the arrangement of the two old men, and after a while, he heard the white-haired cultivator shouting: "Master!" The head followed the prestige, his eyes were meeting with the former, and it seemed that he had reached a wonderful tacit understanding with him.

"I don't know the master...... Do you want to see the world of cultivators? The white-haired cultivator said slowly.

The head seemed to know in advance that the old man would make such a suggestion, so he only nodded lightly and replied, "Senior, wait a minute, I'll go and pack up my things." ”

The black-haired cultivator was dumbfounded, and when the head of the sect walked away, he said to the white-haired cultivator, "Friend, how can you want to bring him back with you?"

"Didn't you notice that the head of the sect also wanted to go with us?" said the white-haired cultivator, "My friend has always been discerning and resolute, why does he seem to be a different person in this matter?"

"I'm thinking about ......" The black-haired cultivator pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Then Yu Qing does have many suspicions, which you and I have to watch out for. First of all, when we brought him here, we couldn't find half of the skill of practicing the hidden door from his body, and his later practice was also based on the practice of the hidden door that we kept in the past, so couldn't it be that his master didn't teach him the martial arts of this sect......"

"You don't have to say any more. The white-haired cultivator interrupted with a smile: "Every step you take, you must be careful to make sure that you are safe, then you must always be indecisive and timid. If you and I are like this, how is there any difference between us and the people in the old place? The path of cultivating the truth, like climbing the peak, we have been practicing for hundreds of years, just so that when we stand on a high place, we can calmly deal with complicated and trivial matters. However, for hundreds of years, the peak is still out of reach, and the cultivators we see from our heads up and our feet down are still the same as they were a hundred years ago; our status will not be exalted by the 'seniors' of the younger generation, and our gains are even less worthy of mention than hundreds of years of time, but what we have lost is immeasurable. If such a hairy child has to make us scruple in every way, then after practicing for hundreds of years, it is better to turn into a nameless dry bone in the ground as soon as possible. He patted the black-haired cultivator on the shoulder and said, "Let's stay with him first, after all, what that person entrusted to us at the beginning was only a sentence of 'recognizing the sword but not the person'!"

......

A gust of wind blew in his face, Qi Wuwei held his eyelids a little harder, his pupils were already full of eyeballs in his sockets, and the dark light in his eyes was deeper than the surroundings under the night, it was the Spirit Clan that gave him the ability to penetrate the darkness.

"I naturally like to go where I have not yet arrived, to travel the way I have not traveled, to make friends with strangers and passers-by. However, after that, he was not very happy to return to his hometown and meet his deceased again. Thinking about it, it seems that he is worried about the changes they have had, and he thought that he had figured it out properly when he had been together for a long time, but he didn't see him for a few days, but his previous thoughts were in vain. Qi Wuwei muttered to himself for no reason, these words echoed several times in his empty heart and around him, but neither the wandering spirit in his heart nor the elusive full god gave him a response, Qi Wuwei had to continue to move forward.

Before midnight, Qi Wuwei came to a village-like place, which is the base camp of the rear production of the Chonglong Sect, the outer disciples with unlimited scenery and chic ease, when they return to the sect, they can only live here as laborers, and it is not easy for outsiders to find the headquarters of the Chonglong Sect, but Qi Wuwei returned here in one step - the place he is more familiar with.

"Sure enough, I'm afraid of something. Qi Wuwei muttered to himself. The fertile land and the wide pastures seem to have been deserted at the moment. There should have been an orderly crop and livestock there, but only clumps of weeds had not been tended for an unknown amount of time, and there were many signs of people around it that indicated recent visits. "There must be a change in the church, otherwise there will be no reason to stop work here. “

Thinking about it, Qi Wuwei's steps have come out, although he couldn't learn light skills, and he has been traveling for many days, but at this moment, the speed of the wind inspired by the uneasiness in his heart may not even be able to detect it. The headquarters of the Chonglong Sect was several miles away from this place, and they were all rugged and winding mountain roads, Qi Wuwei actually ran straight in the direction of the induction, and suddenly he had crossed a few mountains, but he didn't feel anything unusual.

However, what Qi Wuwei didn't know was that the full god who witnessed this miracle had long been left behind by himself, and even the words she shouted couldn't keep up with his footsteps.
