Thinking that I might see Mu Yifei, I was naturally happy in my heart, so I nodded and agreed.

However, I was still curious about what to send, so I asked Master.

The master said: "After the New Year, you will naturally know when you are going, now concentrate on gathering qi, by the way, why do you still use the qi gathering technique I taught you, your qi sea has been stabilized, you should use your own exercises, otherwise it will affect your use of fox pupils in the future." ”

The method taught by Master is to gather qi quickly, and I used this method to save effort, and now that Master has reminded me, I naturally quickly changed back.

Using the technique of Hui Ling Eye Gate, the speed of qi gathering slowed down a lot, but it seemed that every wisp of qi was more in line with my body, and as the amount of qi in the sea of qi increased, my body slowly regained its strength.

By the evening, my strength had recovered fifty or sixty percent, and it seemed that there was no major problem.

And when I was gathering energy, Wu Jiaqi also ran over and bandaged my arm again.

When the air outside was too cloudy, I stopped gathering my breath and went to the hut.

Master and Wu Jiaqi were both in the wooden house, and there were a lot of delicacies on the table, but Feng Saiqing was not there.

I asked Master, "What about Senior Feng?" ”

Master said: "He is in the Taoist temple, there is something he needs to deal with, okay, don't be stunned, go change into new clothes, then wash up, and sit down to eat." ”

There's only one room in this room, but there's a curtain on the other side of the hanger, and it's okay for me to close the curtain and change my clothes.

After I sat down at the dinner table, Master smiled and said, "This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there is finally one more person." ”

Wu Jiaqi said with a smile: "Yes, in the past, it was only me and my grandfather during the New Year, but this year it is a little more lively." ”

Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, looking at the table full of meals, I also think of my parents, without me by my side, how do they eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?

When I think about it, I can't help but feel layers of longing in my heart.

After this year, I will be nineteen.

In six years, I will be able to go home, no, I am now a disciple of the head of the North Heavenly Gate, I don't have to suffer from Qin Huaiwei anymore, I may be able to meet my parents when I go down the mountain to be a receiver next year.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Master asked me what I was thinking.

I didn't lie, I told the truth.

Master shook his head and said: "Mu'er, in this regard, you still have to listen to Qin Huaiwei, although he is unprincipled in doing things, but in this matter, he did not lie to you, if you have too much contact with your parents before twenty-five, it will damage your parents' longevity!" ”

I said, "Is it too much to see it once a year?" ”

Master nodded and said, "Once every three years, in fact, it's a bit much, if it were me, I might ask you not to meet with them until twenty-five." ”

Master's words, I believe.

The meal was quite warm, but the warm time always passed quickly, and at midnight, Master and Wu Jiaqi left, and I was the only one left in the wooden house.

Lying on the bed, the longing for Zu Xiwei in my heart is also overflowing, in fact, when I think of my parents, I am also thinking about Zu Xiwei in my heart.

She is probably celebrating the New Year alone now, and her Chinese New Year's Eve is not even more bleak.

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep, so I just sat up from the bed and walked back and forth on the gimbal.

"Huhuhu......"

Tonight there was a wind, and there was snow in the wind, and the goose feathers and snow all over the sky fell in this cloud and mist, which looked particularly beautiful.

It's just that the snow can't accumulate on the gimbal, and the snow flakes will turn into mist when they get close to the gimbal for about two or three meters.

The heavier the snow fell, the denser the clouds on the gimbal became, and it wasn't long before the visibility in front of me was only a few meters away if I didn't focus my eyes.

After a little more time outside, I went back to the cabin, and as soon as I opened the door, I found Kazesaikiyo inside helping me pack my things.

I hurried over to help, and he said, "I'm done with my business, come and help you clean up after you." ”

I said, "Thank you, senior." ”

Feng Sai Qing said: "Today during the day, before we came back from the utility house, there was a little girl who said that she was waiting for you in Baiyun Temple, but we flew back, so I missed her, I just glanced down the mountain a little, and found that she was waiting at the entrance of the steps hundreds of meters down." ”

"It's so hard to see the snow falling, it's pitiful."

Li Yunyao!?

She helped me today and bandaged my arm, and if she really waited for me, then I couldn't leave it alone.

I turned around and walked out of the hut, then walked to the edge of the steps of the platform and gathered my breath to look down.

Sure enough, there was a person standing at the mouth of the stairs a few hundred meters down, her hair and shoulders were covered with snowflakes, and she sometimes glanced at the white clouds a few times, and sometimes glanced at the top of the cloud platform a few times.

I shook my head and went down the steps, and soon I was more than ten meters away from her, I looked at Li Yunyao and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

When Li Yunyao saw me walking down from the gimbal, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm waiting for you, I thought you forgot me, I was sad just now." ”

I said, "I still really forgot about you, if it wasn't for Senior Feng reminding me, I really wouldn't have known that you were waiting for me here." ”

Li Yunyao said with an indifferent expression: "Anyway, it's good that you came to see me, okay, seeing that you are safe and sound, I can also go back to rest, it's strange here." ”

Li Yunyao turned around and walked towards Baiyun Temple, and after walking a few steps, she looked back at me and said, "By the way, congratulations, you won the championship of this year's Heavenly Master Competition, and successfully became next year's receiver." ”

I said, "Thank you." ”

Li Yunyao said again: "Also, Lu Chengyi has been abolished by his master and has been sent down the mountain today. ”

I let out an "um" and didn't say anything.

Li Yunyao looked at me a few more times, didn't say anything, turned around and left with a smile.

The snow was still falling.

When I went back to the cabin, it was already cleaned up, and the wind was gone, and I thought about it in bed, and I still lost sleep that night.

In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, Master has not assigned me any more practice, I am basically resting every day, sometimes Wu Jiaqi will come to me, and she and I will jump a rope on the gimbal, throw a bean bag and so on.

It's simple, but she has a lot of fun every time.

In the blink of an eye, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the master called me and Feng Saiqing to the cloud platform, carrying a 20-centimeter-sized wooden box in his hand, which was carved with many cloud decorations, and the lid was tightly sealed.

The master handed the box to Feng Saiqing and said, "You have kept this box, you must hand it over to that old guy yourself, and you must not make any mistakes." ”

Feng Saiqing nodded, took the box and said, "Yes, master." ”

Then the master turned to look at me and said, "This trip to Nantianmen can be regarded as letting you grow up and gain knowledge, and you must obey the arrangements of the wind sacrifice Qing along the way, and you must not come nonsense." ”

I also immediately said, "Yes!" ”

Then, I looked at the box in Feng Saiqing's hand and said, "What's in there?" ”

Master said, "A human head! ”

Yes!

I was stunned for a moment, what a head, I looked carefully at the master's expression, he didn't seem to be joking with me.

I subconsciously stayed away from the box, and then asked, "Whose head?" ”

The master said, "You don't have to worry about it, when you get to the headquarters of Nantianmen, when that old guy opens it for inspection, you will naturally see it." ”

Why do you have to give away heads!?

Master didn't have much to say, so he asked us to pack up our things and go straight down the mountain.

My salute is simple, except for the clothes, it is the iron box of the ancestor of the Lingyan Gate.

Kazesaikiyo wrapped the wooden box in a school bag, then straddled it diagonally behind him, walking in front, and I followed him closely behind him with my own school bag.

This time we didn't use the flying ones, but went down step by step.

When passing by the Baiyun Temple, many disciples bowed to us, they had already seen my strength with their own eyes, let them hold their own geniuses one by one, and they didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect for me anymore.

And when we left, Li Yunyao didn't seem to be in Baiyunguan, so I didn't meet her.

I walked with Kazesaiqing for a whole day, and I also took the ropeway for a few kilometers, and in the evening, we went out of the gate of the North Heavenly Gate.

Standing in front of the huge stone gate, I couldn't help but ask Feng Saiqing: "Senior Feng, don't you know how to fly, why don't you fly out with me, you have to walk hard for a day." ”

Feng Saiqing said: "This human head in the box behind me is not ordinary, we carry him on our backs, every step is a merit, if you fly forward, the merit will be broken, and when it is sent to the master of the Nantianmen Gate, it will be cheap." ”

I couldn't help frowning, walking with people's heads on my back, and merit?

I'm getting more and more confused.

Feng Saiqing said: "When you get to Nantianmen, you will understand all this. ”

I said, "According to you, wouldn't it be more meritorious for us to carry him around the world on our backs?" ”

Kazesai Qing smiled: "We must follow a fixed path, and if we deviate from the route, it will also be bad. ”

I asked what way.

Feng Saiqing said: "1,500 miles of merit road, in this thousand years, I have walked this is the fifth time, and the merit given to me by the master makes me unforgettable. ”

Merit Road!?

The more Kazesai Kiyoshi said, the more confused I became.

We went down the mountain in the night, and after leaving the stone gate, I found that we were not on the same road from which I came.

Feng Saiqing said, "You are coming from the north, but we are going to the south, so naturally we will take different roads. ”

The road to the south is not easier than the north, but no matter how difficult the road is, we still take it step by step.

Along the way, I also focused on observing the situation around me, but I did not find the so-called merit path.

The qi of each place where we walk is not special, and it is difficult to discern it through those qi.

I asked the wind to clarify the mystery of the festival.

He said slowly: "Your strength is still shallow, and when you cultivate to a few higher levels, you will see this path of merit left by the powerful ancestors." ”

Is this path of merit used to give away heads!?
