"You haven't been idle during this time, you're busy preparing for the Earth Demon Cave. In order to go to Beijing to catch the exam, I visited my old friends and classmates, as well as the gentleman who taught me to read before. During this period, I have gained a lot, not only have I improved my studies, but my husband also wrote a letter of recommendation for me, and I will go to the capital, even if I don't get into it this year, I will stay in the capital and continue my studies. ”

"You're moving to the capital...... Ye Zitong's heart was a little lost for some reason, but there was still a smile on his face, "Then I want to congratulate you first, and I wish you success." ”

"Thank you, girl, and I also wish you a safe and smooth trip to the Earth Demon Cave, and get what you want." Sun Xiucai said seriously.

Ye Zitong burst out laughing, she was actually a little indifferent by nature, especially after leaving the Magic Mountain, her personality changed, as if she had returned to her temperament when she worked alone as an orphan in her previous life. She is a serious person, and she will do her best when she sees it, but she will not be persistent.

For example, this trip to the Earth Demon Cave, she spent a lot of money to make a lot of preparations, if she didn't get the Heavenly Infant Fruit, or failed to give birth to the spiritual root after taking the Heavenly Infant Fruit, she estimated that she would not be sad. In short, she did her best, no matter what the outcome, she had no regrets. It's just that I didn't expect her actions to fall in the eyes of others, but it was a different taste.

Sun Xiucai enthusiastically told Ye Zitong about what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and told him about the interesting things that happened between him and his classmates. Looking at Sun Xiucai in front of her, Ye Zitong suddenly felt a little strange, but she didn't feel strange, in her opinion, no matter what interesting things Sun Xiucai did, it didn't have to be strange.

The song of the singer on the flower boat across the river changed one after another. There is also laughter in the fireworks alley. The night before the Earth Demon Cave opened, there were probably many people who regarded this as the last night of their lives and woke up tomorrow into the Earth Demon Cave. Ten of those who went were still seven of them, and less than three of them made it back alive. This last night is not to be free and casual.

Sun Xiucai's words were incompatible with the general environment at this time, Ye Zitong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Xiucai, I don't know anything, can I ask for advice?" ”

"Please."

"I heard that the ancestral residence of the Sun family is in the Earth Demon Cave area. You were born and raised here, and the monastic atmosphere in the Earth Demon Cave District is so strong, why do you like to read. You still have to take the imperial examination, live forever, and seek the avenue, is it in your eyes? It's not as good as fame and fortune in the mortal world? ”

"The jade girl's words are wrong. In my opinion, my generation's pursuit of fame and fortune is also a way to gain the road. When Sun Xiucai said this, his expression was flying, and under the cover of night, his body seemed to be covered with white light.

Ye Zitong looked closely, Sun Xiucai was indeed surrounded by a layer of white mist, and this layer of white mist seemed to be formed by the gathering of heaven and earth vitality. This discovery surprised her a lot, and her heart moved inexplicably. Could it be that Sun Xiucai is really not an ordinary mortal?

In fact, Ye Zitong's feelings for Sun Xiucai have always been a little weird. It's not the weirdness of the relationship between men and women. Sometimes, Sun Xiucai gave her an indescribable and paradoxical feeling, which made her feel that Sun Xiucai was really difficult to see. At this time, the changes in Sun Xiucai seem to be verifying this. Covered in white mist, this phenomenon is the first time Ye Zitong has seen it in mortals, and Sun Xiucai must have an unusual secret.

"This statement is new, why does Brother Xiucai think like this?"

"There is a saying of reincarnation in the world, and life and death are the same in front of reincarnation, and there is no difference. Compared with monks, mortals have a short lifespan, but this shortness is only limited to this life. In this way, what is the difference with the immortality of a monk? Monks practice penance, meditation, and entering the world, and people in the world can also practice what they do in each life, and practice through the asceticism of reincarnation, which is also seeking the Great Way. In my opinion, those who ascend to enlightenment once have attained enlightenment have finally attained the right results by virtue of what they have gained from their lifetimes......"

At this point, the white mist on Sun Xiucai's body seemed to be a little thicker, as if to prove that his idea was correct.

What Sun Xiucai said is indeed true, life is short and bumpy, this is not a kind of experience. Although the life of a monk is long, it is not endless, and the higher the cultivation, the more lifespan. Most monks are limited by their cultivation, and their lifespan is only tens or hundreds of years longer than that of mortals.

If the longevity of monks makes their lives a straight line, then between reincarnations, the lives of mortals are a straight line with breakpoints. Whether it is a continuous straight line or a straight line with a breakpoint, is it the avenue that leads to it? When life and death meet reincarnation, there is no life and no death?

Ye Zitong couldn't help but be moved by Sun Xiucai's words, her previous life has ended, and this life has just begun, after reincarnation, there is no break point in her life, so is her straight line also leading to that avenue......

At this moment, what Ye Zitong was thinking about was no longer Sun Xiucai, but the difference between life and death and the meaning of reincarnation. Unconsciously, Sun Xiucai once again ignited Ye Zitong, which made her mood improve again. Because of her own specialness, Ye Zitong's understanding of life and death and her perception of reincarnation made her feel the threshold of the path of entry at the beginning.

Ye Zitong looked at Sun Xiucai with a complicated expression, I don't know if he said this intentionally or unintentionally, but if it is about the impact on Ye Zitong's cultivation, Sun Xiucai is undoubtedly the most important. Ye Zitong cultivated the Women's Sutra alone, without the guidance of the teacher, and his progress has been very slow. But since I came to Shuangyu Street and met Sun Xiucai, the other party mentioned it several times, and this time it hit the key point, which benefited Ye Zitong a lot. Sun Xiucai is to Ye Zitong, so that she can afford to shout "teacher", but the other party seems to have no intention, so she can't guess.

"Thank you." Ye Zitong could only thank Sun Xiucai like this.

Sun Xiucai just nodded indifferently at Ye Zitong, that relieved expression made Ye Zitong want to move, and couldn't help but hope that the other party was deliberate, but the other party's next words made her unhappy.

"Say goodbye tonight, I don't know if there is still fate to meet the girl again in this life, if you don't dislike it, why don't you drink with me, and get drunk before you rest?" After speaking. Sun Xiucai took out a wine jug and put two wine cups on the stone table.

Ye Zitong didn't say anything, picked up the full wine glass and drank it all, and Sun Xiucai also filled it. The two of them come and go like this. Pour your own drinks. Neither of them had any superfluous words, only the wine was silent.

The drizzle outside the pavilion is still there, the weeping willows are teasing the lake, and the singer's lyrics have changed one song after another......

"The mist is thick and the clouds are sad for eternity, and the brain is a golden beast.

The festival is heavy and yang, the jade pillow yarn kitchen, the middle of the night is cool.

The east fence put the wine after dusk. There are dark fragrance sleeves.

Mo Dao does not kill the soul, the curtain is the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers. ”

"The night comes to indulge in the late removal of makeup. Plum calyx cuttings stump.

The wine wakes up and smokes the spring sleep, and the dream is broken.

People are quiet, the moon is still around, and the green curtains are hanging.

Move the remnants. More fragrant. More time

……”

The aroma of wine is intoxicating, the fragrance of flowers is charming, Ye Zitong's expression is gradually intoxicated, and the aroma of wine that is drunk seems to linger around him.

Sun Xiucai's side had already gotten up, and said goodbye with a deep bow, "I have the fate to meet with Qing again." ”

Ye Zitong also gave a salute, "I have a fate to meet with you again." ”

Sun Xiucai's figure fell into the night, and the drizzle fell on his shoulders. Make his figure even more hazy.

Ye Zitong looked at his back, his gaze was far-reaching. This time after a farewell for many years, even if we meet again one day, can you know me? Can I also recognize you?

Ye Zitong sat alone in the Intoxication Pavilion for a while before leaving, Sun Xiucai's wine jug and umbrella forgot to take, maybe it was not forgotten but deliberately, Ye Zitong packed it up and took it away.

Ye Zitong has been practicing the "Women's Sutra" since he was six years old, at first he was unaware of it, and later although he realized the importance of the Women's Sutra, he was at a loss. The road of cultivating immortals without guidance is confusing and difficult.

Sun Xiucai's guidance made her reluctant to leave, but there is no feast in the world, Sun Xiucai has what he has to do, and she also has her own way to go.

Speaking of which, since cultivating the "Women's Sutra", Ye Zitong has already stepped into the door of the cultivation realm. It's just that the path she took was different from others, so she had to find an official identity for herself in the cultivation realm, otherwise she could only hide for the rest of her life, and she didn't dare to show her true strength in front of others.

Now Ye Zitong is still a mortal without spiritual roots in the eyes of others, as a mortal, if she shows too strong strength, it will be abnormal, and if things are abnormal, she is a demon, so she can only hide her strength. Once she had obtained the spiritual root, her abilities would be explained, and her ability to heal herself would no longer be a problem. The monk's body is strong, and her self-healing power is already stronger than that of mortals, and when the time comes, she will no longer be afraid of being regarded as a Tang monk.

To put it bluntly, Ye Zitong now has the ability to be a monk, but he does not have the status of a monk. Therefore, she has to work hard to obtain the acquired spiritual root, gain the recognition of the cultivation realm, and seek a foothold for herself in the cultivation realm. Perhaps her path to cultivation is destined to be different, but she will not be deterred by this.

Sun Xiucai is right, a person's life is cultivation, even if you can't see the end in this life, but the accumulation of one life after another in reincarnation is always getting closer and closer to that avenue.

This night, Ye Zitong had an epiphany again, returned home and meditated cross-legged, steadily cultivating, although she didn't know what kind of layer her cultivation was now, but she could really feel that she was constantly improving, which was the most important thing.

The Chaos Tree in the Sea of Consciousness has grown more than a dozen leaves, but the entire sapling is only two palms high, and it really doesn't know how many years and months it will take to grow......

Before dawn the next day, Ye Zitong opened the door, Tingmei was standing in the courtyard waiting for her, and the two rushed directly to the agreed place to meet Father Qian and them.

A mile away from the Earth Demon Cave, the coercion of the Great Array had dissipated, and people gathered in groups of Earth Demon Caves. Ye Zitong and Tingmei broke up here, Tingmei had a fire aura on her body, and she still couldn't step into the Earth Demon Cave within a mile. It seems that this great array has not disappeared or weakened, but has changed its nature.

There are a total of three hundred entrances to the Earth Demon Cave Great Array, and the entrance that Daddy Qian picked is on a mountain, and there are not too many people coming to this entrance, and many of them are acquaintances of Daddy Qian.

"This entrance is a flat land, there is no shelter around, the people who enter in front of it cannot set up an ambush, it is safer than other entrances, from my grandfather's generation, our family entered through this entrance." Daddy Qian explained.

Sure enough, it's good to follow the people who have come.,Although everyone doesn't have the memory inside.,But the old tradition can be inherited is experience.。

At the entrance to the top of the mountain, there are more than twenty masters of the Mortal Alliance. They also set up a table to set up a stall, and Ye Zitong stretched out his head to see that there were only two things for sale: Bigu Dan and maps. Bigu Dan Ye Zitong has already given Daddy Qian. Map...... Ye Zitong asked with a look in his eyes.

Daddy Qian shook his head, "That map has been handed down from ancient times, tens of thousands of years old, and it is no longer what it used to be." ”

Ye Zitong nodded, indeed, all the people who have entered the Earth Demon Cave have lost their memory, and no one remembers the terrain inside, how can there be a new map.

Really. The business of that stall was not good, and an hour passed, and no one patronized it. Obviously, the people who come to this entrance are experienced.

The entrance is not opened at any time, but every time a hundred people are gathered, the people of the Mortal Alliance will open the entrance and teleport the hundred people together. The entrance is used to open a large tripod, which consumes 100 spirit beads every time it is opened. So this entrance is not free. Each person has to pay two spirit beads as an entry fee. It's easy for the mortal alliance to earn this spirit bead, and it will double the net profit if you turn it over. Although the price of the Mortal Alliance was black enough, no one raised any objections, who would care about this spirit bead if they wanted to enter the Earth Demon Cave.

There are relatively few people who come to the mountains here, and Ye Zitong and them finally gathered enough 100 people for more than an hour.

The masters of the Mortal Alliance activated the Great Ding, only to see a puff of white smoke rising from the blue-gray Ding, as if it was being controlled. gradually enveloped Ye Zitong and a group of them, when the white smoke finally dispersed. Ye Zitong and they have disappeared in place.

Ye Zitong, who was shrouded in white smoke, only felt dizzy for a while, and when he woke up again, he found that he was already in a different place. Her reaction was still a little slower, and the crowd of 100 people had dispersed. Father Qian's six people also recovered faster than him, and they were looking around at the nearby terrain at this time.

"Let's go." Daddy Qian quickly ran to the side, and Ye Zitong and the others quickly followed. Don't look at the father is over 100 years old, the physique of the acquired master is not in vain, and the speed on the legs and feet is only faster than that of the average master.

Ye Zitong and his group ran into the woods next to them and disappeared in them. As soon as Daddy Qian raised his hand, everyone fell into the grass. After about two quarters of an hour, Cai Lao2 suddenly gestured to Daddy Qian, and Daddy Qian asked a few people to get up, chose another direction and took a few people away.

Although Daddy Qian didn't explain, Ye Zitong knew that he was waiting for everyone lurking nearby to leave. The heaven and earth in this earth demon cave are full of vitality, and the concentration of vitality is a hundred times and thousands of times that of the outside world. Not only is she not rejected by the Earth Demon Cave, but she can even use her divine sense, and here she has one more means to save her life than others.

……

Ye Zitong entered the Earth Demon Cave here, but Tingmei was restless outside.

Since their brother and sister left the Magic Mountain, not only Ye Zitong's personality has changed, but Tingmei's personality has changed greatly. Probably because boys are indispensable to masculinity when they grow up, maybe it's because the burden on my heart is heavier as an older brother, Tingmei gradually becomes less talkative, and learns to hide her heart in the bottom of her heart.

What happened when he was a teenager and his current body can't help it, both make Tingmi have an extreme thirst for strength, and this stubbornness has caused him to be unstable.

During this time, his cultivation encountered a bottleneck, and his mind began to wander. During this time, Ye Zitong was busy preparing for entering the Earth Demon Cave, and he could only watch from the sidelines but couldn't help. And this morning, a mile outside the Earth Demon Cave, he couldn't move an inch under the powerful coercion, not only could he not enter the mountain with Ye Zitong, but he couldn't even send her to the entrance, and the grievance and anger in Tingmei's heart came to the edge.

Returning to Tingmei on Shuangyu Street alone, looking at the empty courtyard, hearing the noise of the street outside, suddenly his heart was full of anger, and he faintly had gone mad.

On the night of the first day of the opening of the Earth Demon Cave, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the breeze was blowing, and the slightest coolness was refreshing.

The light of the pearl shone on Sun Xiucai, leaving a shadow behind him. At this moment, in that shadow, a pair of blood-red eyes were staring at his back. If Ye Zitong was here at this time, he would definitely be frightened, and the person hiding in Sun Xiucai's shadow was Tingmei. At this time, Tingmei's expression was obviously wrong, and those bright red eyes like weeping blood showed that Tingmei had gone mad. (To be continued......)
