The river gradually calmed down, and Li Yuanshu swam ashore and ran south. She didn't know if the man would catch up, but it was better to run farther away.

The sky was getting dark, and Li Yuanshu found a crack in the mountain to make a fire for the night.

Xuetian has been away from home for three days, and she is very worried, not knowing if he is doing well, whether he has suffered losses and been bullied. I hope that all the people he meets are kind, and don't harm him.

Li Yuanshu sat against the rock wall, and she was extremely tired from running around for several days, and the sleepiness gradually came up when she closed her eyes.

She slept deeply, and she woke up at dawn, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that there was an old man by the fire at some point!

"Who are you!"

She panicked, and hurriedly stood up and touched her waist, but when she felt empty, she remembered that she had thrown the scimitar out yesterday.

"I wanted to relieve you of the blood poison in your body, but I didn't expect that you have a strange physique, it is actually the legendary jasper body, which is invulnerable. ”

The old man was not in a hurry, and placed a scimitar beside him, which was thrown out by Widow Li yesterday, and he helped her pick it up.

"As for who I am, have you ever heard of the South China Sea Jade Fu Palace?"

She has indeed heard of the Jade Fu Palace, which is located on the South China Sea, and the art of inscriptions and spiritual patterns is famous in the world. It's just that the South China Sea is thousands of miles away from here, and the appearance of people from the Jade Fu Palace is a little strange.

"Since you are the predecessor of the Jade Fu Palace, it is a little woman's rudeness. ”

Li Yuanshu had doubts, the old man's words didn't dare to believe it, but he could appear next to him quietly, and his strength must not be weak, so he decided to accept it for the time being.

"I've seen your carving skills, quite spiritual, I want to find a disciple of the inheritance when I am dying, I wonder if you are willing?"

"The seniors laughed, how can the little woman He De be inherited by you. Not to mention that I'm over thirty years old now, and I don't know anything about the art of inscriptions, so you might as well find another apprentice. ”

When the old man saw her refusal, he was not annoyed, and continued: "You are worried, and you don't want to go with me, but he has chosen his own way, how can you find him. ”

"I don't understand what you mean!"

Li Yuanshu clenched her fists, and her heart was extremely nervous. At this time, two fawns jumped out of the forest, one red and one blue, lying beside the old man, very cute.

The old man caressed the fawn and said, "I had a relationship with him on the duckbill ferry, and I saw the carved fragrant wood you carved on him. He liked the fawns when he first saw them, and asked me if I had named them. ”

Li Yuanshu can imagine the scene when Xue Tianyan looks at the deer, this child, since he was a child, he can't help himself when he sees small animals.

"Since my predecessors know my stupid son, they should understand that I can't leave him, he doesn't know how to survive in this world, he can't live without me, I have to get him back!"

"If you promise to be my apprentice, I will protect him. You can also bring him to the Jade Fu Palace, as long as you want, it doesn't hurt to lock him up and protect him for the rest of your life. ”

"Is that true?"

The old man waved his hand into the air, and the strange ripples spread, only to see a picture appear in front of them, which was the scene of Li Xuetian and the fox playing with each other.

Li Yuanshu hurriedly got closer, and saw that Xuetian was now safe and sound, and felt a lot more relieved.

"Where is he?" she asked the old man.

"It's in the middle of this bluestone mountain range. ”

Li Yuanshu was taken aback, how to get to this Qingyan Mountain!

"Senior, please bring him back, and I will promise to be your disciple!"

"But think about it, if you bring him back, you may lose your son forever. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

She was a little puzzled, why did she lose him when she brought him back?

"He has pursuits, wills, and his own path to follow......"

"No, he didn't!" interrupted Li Yuanshu.

The old man shook his head: "If he doesn't, why would he want to leave you." The idea of freedom has already germinated, and if it is extinguished, all that will be left is a walking corpse, is that what you want?"

"Even if he has a pursuit, he just wants to cultivate, doesn't the Jade Fu Palace have a place for him to cultivate?"

"How do you know that he just wants to cultivate. ”

"Isn't it?"

"You are his mother, and you know him better than anyone else. ”

Li Yuanshu bit her lip, of course she knew that Xue Tian had always been curious about new things and always had a longing for the world.

"He always thought that a cultivator's life was romantic and beautiful, but that's not the case! How cruel and dark the cultivation world is, and how much pain it will experience, you all know it!"

"There is never only one side to anything, and many times, a person's heart determines whether the world he sees is beautiful or broken. Your child should be a person who can see light and hope in the darkness. ”

"So he's just a fool, how can such a person live for a long time in the cultivation world, I'd rather let him be the walking dead next to me than not know when he will die outside!"

"Since you have so decided, I promise you. ”

The old man returned the scimitar to Li Yuanshu, he just wanted to take her as an apprentice, and her son's affairs should not be taken care of, but in the early morning, Li Xuetian saw the vision of heaven and earth in his eyes, and felt a little pity.

That's all I have to say, I hope she won't regret it in the future.

"Come on, I'll take you to him. The old man took out a jade talisman, turned into a giant eagle, and flew towards the Qingyan Mountain Range with Li Yuanshu.

The giant eagle is very fast, and it will not take long to see the snow, but in addition to joy in her heart at the moment, she is also a little worried.

Li Yuanshu closed her eyes, her heart was full of pain, she saw that although Xue Tian was embarrassed at the moment, she was much happier than before. I remember that when he was at home in the past, he always liked to sit in front of the door in a daze, his eyes were full of longing, maybe he was fantasizing about this day!

Will he be happy? Follow her to the Jade Fu Palace, be by her side, and live every day in peace, isn't it?

She tried to convince herself, but she couldn't. His body, the corners of his mouth, his eyes, and even his breath were telling her that he was happy now.

He wants freedom......

"Senior, can I wait for him to walk out of the Qingyan Mountain Range safely, and then I will go to the Jade Fu Palace with you. ”

Li Yuanshu's tears couldn't stop flowing, and her heart was hard to let go, but she couldn't deprive him of his will, it was her son, and she wanted him to be happy.

The giant eagle fell on the mountain peak in the distance, and they looked at Li Xuetian's figure from a distance.

"Aren't you going to meet him?"

Li Yuanshu shook her head, she was afraid that she would hold the snow and be reluctant to let go, and it would be even more difficult to choose.

The old man took out a gray feather, turned into a chickadee, and flew towards Li Xuetian.

"This is left behind by a feather demon when it was out of the ordinary, it contains great power, and with the spirit pattern I engraved on it, even if I encounter a strong person in the Shattered Spirit Realm, I can save his life at a critical moment. ”

"Li Yuanshu has thanked her seniors!" she knelt down and bowed to the old man.

The old man stroked his beard and nodded: "This gift should be regarded as a gift of apprenticeship, from today on, you will be the closed disciple of my Jade Fu Palace Ling Xiao Venerable." ”

Li Yuanshu kowtowed three times, and made up her mind that she would be a strong person and protect Xuetian for a lifetime.
