Luoxia Mountain is located in the northwest of Yundu, about a day's journey from Yundu. The mountain is about 2,000 meters high, and from a distance, the colorful glow of the western sky falls on the top of the mountain like a water dragon drinking stream.
Luoxia Mountain is not a lonely mountain, its western foot is connected to a vast mountainous area, and at the end of the mountain is the endless Tanggula Mountains. Therefore, the geographers of the Blue Frontier are accustomed to regard Luoxia Mountain as a peak of the Tanggula Mountains. In fact, Luoxia Mountain is still hundreds of miles away from the Tanggula Mountains.
Rick looked at the scenery of the sunset mountain in the dusk, and could no longer care about playing with Bobo and Coco, who had just woken up from their slumber, and handed the two little ones to Chrissy, and then picked up the little lazy worm and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
He had just run not far away, and suddenly felt a wet little tongue licking around on his neck, and grabbed it to see that it was the naughty little phantom beast Coco, this little guy had grown up a little after a period of sleep, and the color of his body was even more like gold wire, and the meat wings on his back had grown a lot, and he was able to carry it over a short distance. However, what Rick finds strange is that the two little phantom beasts have always been in the first form, and it seems that they will never enter the second form. Of course, he also felt that he was in too much of a hurry, the two little phantom beasts had just been born for a few months, and it was not yet time to enter the second form. Therefore, they don't need a lot of energy now, and they can even live without relying on the energy of the Phantom Beast Master. Hopefully, in a year or two, they'll change! Rick sighed.
He escorted the restless little phantom beast to Chrissy again, and waved his arm. The crowd marched towards the mountainside of Luoxia Mountain. This time, though, instead of being ahead of the group, he followed behind. Walk with Long Lan and the other swordsmen. After the diagnosis and treatment of Alva, Chrissy, and Qinglu, Long Lan and the others preliminarily determined that the reason why their meridians were blocked was because most of the meridians were filled with a large amount of strange energy, and the three "doctors" agreed that it was the result of being invaded by the energy of the other space during the spatial transformation, that is, the spatial magic used by Long Yuyan may have gone wrong. Or incomplete in itself, which would not otherwise be the case. However, they also said. This kind of blockage of the meridians had never been heard of, and they were not sure whether it was a blessing or a curse.
In the end, Chrissy put forward her idea: since the main meridians of the swordsmen are blocked by the huge amount of spatial energy, then they can try a unique way of running true qi. Specializing in the eight veins of the strange meridians. Even divide the body into several parts and run the True Qi separately, so that it can not be affected by the blockage of the main meridians. If this way of running True Qi is successful, it will be possible for them to gradually open up the main meridians with the help of the True Qi cultivated in the Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra. This is a job that no one else can help with, so you can only do it yourself, so, along the way. Under the guidance of Chrissy and the others, the swordsmen tried to use the True Qi Path they had previously practiced to the Eight Veins of the Wonder Sutra. The results were surprisingly good. The body is not resistant to this way of running true qi, and their method of using each meridian and acupoint as qi veins and running true qi without dantian can even make up for the lost true qi when the true qi is consumed. Therefore, they are actively trying to develop a set of true qi cultivation paths that are effective and have no sequelae.
What kind of things Alva had come to Fallfall to retrieve and what answers they were looking for, and who they would meet, Rick never asked. It's not that he doesn't want to ask, but every time he asks like this, the answer he gets is "Childe will know in the future". Since there was no answer, he simply didn't ask. Fortunately, he is quite optimistic and knows his fate, and he never forces others.
At dusk, they came to a flat area on the mountainside, which was covered with green bamboo. Looking at the past from afar, there are hidden red walls and green tiles hidden in the bamboo forest. Everyone followed Alva along the gravel path in the forest, gradually descending into the bamboo forest. After about a quarter of an hour, a tall and verdant jade bamboo appeared in front of me, and when I turned this bamboo tree, my eyes suddenly opened up. A temple with a round spire appears in front of you. Ava walked straight inside, followed by Rick and the others.
When you enter the temple, you will find the main hall, which is not as complicated as an ordinary temple, without many things and without heavy curtains. The whole hall was almost empty, and there was not a trace of pattern on the four walls, and it was as white as snow in the deep mountains. There is only one altar in the main hall, and at the end of the altar is a wooden sculpture about the height of a real person. The wood carving eyebrows are distinct, although the posture is gorgeous, but solemn. Rick could see at a glance that she was simply a copy of Alva, but there was no dignified solemnity between Alva's eyebrows, and there was a pride and bewitchment in Alva's flamboyance. There is another difference between the two: the wood carving has four wings on its back, while Alva does not, because Alva is not a real god, so there is no "angel wing" of a god.
Alva stood silently in front of the wood carving, staring intently ahead, her gaze gradually changing, first resentful, then ruthless, then transformed into a monstrous love that melted steeled iron, and after love was melancholy, parting, resentment, and vague madness. But all these emotions are fleeting, and all that remains is peace – absolute peace, like a deep pool.
A man suddenly stood in front of the altar, and Rick and the women noticed. In fact, they had already spotted her when they first came in. But because she knelt down in front of the idol, the people did not bother.
It was a female monk dressed in sackcloth and white, with long hair and a shawl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was very delicate, and her eyes were like ancient wells and pools, without a trace of ripples. Her absolute indifference makes people feel that even if she is standing in the middle of the city, she is beyond the world and has no desires. (Note: Lanjiang does not have the title of 'nun', and those who practice in the temple, whether male or female, are all called monks, so there is a term for male monks and female monks.) Here, the monks do not have any special rules and precepts, and their practice is almost entirely dependent on their own willpower. Therefore, although there are many monks in the Blue Frontier, there are very few who are really successful. Note: Monks and priestly nuns in the temple are not the same concept. In a nutshell, temples are theocratic and political, and they are a force in their own right, so they are usually recognized by those in power. Temples, on the other hand, are folk in nature and represent an innate yearning for human beings. They did not have a strict organization, and there was no direct leadership relationship between the temples, so they could only be regarded as a loose civil force that was not recognized by those in power. )
Alva asked, "I think the person represented by the idol is your master." ”
The female monk nodded.
"Do you know who I am?"
The female monk nodded again.
"Does she have anything for me?"
The female monk shook her head this time.
"Didn't leave any words left?"
Shake your head again.
Alva asked the last sentence, "Do you want to come with me?" ”
The female monk looked back at the idol without any gesture. Alva knew that it meant she had agreed, for the female monk's gaze at the idol was overflowing with parting.
Alva turned to look at Rick, who was bored teasing the little girl Emma. It's this man who is growing! Alva sighed in her heart, He will dominate my life, my one, but why should you run away from it? Her gaze turned to the idol in the main hall, and then focused on the female monk's back, and said secretly: Although my resentment against you has disappeared, since we are destined to be one, I have to pull you into the water, starting with you, the apprentice! Maybe she's the weapon you left me to test him.
Out of the bamboo forest, it's time to decide where to go. Rick has a casual temperament anyway. Chrissy and Alva didn't speak, and the swordsmen looked at Rick expectantly. Rick thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go back to Cloud Capital City first. Because even if you want to go to the imperial city of Qin, Harrier Tian, you need to prepare all kinds of application things, carriages, and horses. Yundu to Harrier Heavenly City, thousands of miles away, most of the time will be spent in the wilderness, so all daily necessities need to be prepared, especially when there is a little girl and a dozen women who can't martial arts for the time being in their team.
On the way back to Yundu, Alva tells Rick why she came to Luoxia Mountain, but the answer is still vague. She only said that she came to Luoxia Mountain to find an old friend who was also an enemy and a friend, and she sealed herself back then. It's a pity that she is now wandering, but she must retrieve what she took, so she temporarily took her apprentice with her in order to lure her out. Although Rick felt that these words were flawed, it was inconvenient to question, and besides, he had always been careless, and if he had any questions, he didn't ask them in front of him, and he forgot about them when he turned his head.
Due to the imminent journey, the pace back to Yundu slowed down at this time. When I came, I walked for a day, and when I went back, I walked for two days. Seeing the tall arrow towers of Cloud Capital City from afar, Rick smiled, "We're back in this city that has lost our ears. ”
"How is this a city with lost ears?" Chrissy asked, puzzled.
"Because a few days ago, a lot of people here lost their ears." Rick laughed. Walk first to the gate of Cloud Capital City. But just as he was about to enter the city, he saw a familiar back and was overjoyed. Coincidentally, the owner of the back also looked back because of the sudden arrival of a large group of good-looking men and women, and the eyes of the two met in mid-air.
"Alice!" Rick smiled at the beautiful woman.
Alice lowered her head, and for some reason, her face was so red. Rick approached and asked, "Why are you here?" Is the school not in session? ”
Alice still didn't answer, and Rick hurriedly said, "Could it be that something happened to Blue City?" ”
Alice shook her head. Chrissy and the others, who were standing not far away, looked funny, they couldn't figure out how Rick, a little man who seemed to be a great man, was actually so popular with women. The woman, who was obviously several years older than him, blushed in front of him. However, only the Nymphs looked thoughtful, for they all felt that there was something in Alice that they were familiar with. Because there is only one place that can give birth to the unique pearl-like light of the fairy dew of women. But unfortunately, they think Alice is very raw. (To be continued......)
