Qingguang according to the previous discussion with Xia Hong, sneaked into the nearby mountains to practice in a closed area, as time passed, Qing Guang felt more and more that he was no longer able to calm down, even in this deep mountain and old forest, he could not concentrate on cultivation, the rapid time was like a meteor crossing, and after a few years, Qing Guang returned to the village where Xia Hong was staying before, but when Qingguang went back, he found that Xia Hong was no longer in the village, and turned around and followed the nearby villagers to inquire, Qingguang knew that Xia Hong had left this mountain village after a few years after she left, but no one knew where she went.

After thinking about it again and again, Qingguang is definitely going to find Xiahong's whereabouts again, but he has gone for an unknown number of years, until the villages in the mountains have disappeared, Qingguang still hasn't found where Xiahong went, and Qingguang is also full of helplessness between melancholy, thinking about the days when he was cultivating in the mountains and forests before, he is determined to return to the place where the two came from, but because the time is too long, Qingguang can't find the direction to go back, until one day, When he inadvertently flew through a town on the ground from the sky, suddenly a little feeling in his heart was that Qingguang stopped suddenly, and there were patches of houses on the ground one after another, and there was a trace of excitement in addition to prosperity, but Qingguang had no interest in mortal towns, and just as he was about to turn away, a flickering red flame rushed directly in front of him, and when Qingguang stood up and was about to take a look at what was here, a familiar and unfamiliar words appeared in Qingguang's ears: " How did you get here? ”

"Xia Hong!? Is that you? Qingguang was already stunned, he couldn't believe that he could really find Xiahong, but when he turned his head and looked at it, the person in front of him was not Xiahong and who was it, with the excitement in his heart Qingguang said in a trembling voice: "You...... You're making it easy for me to find! ”

"Don't, don't...... Excited! I haven't met you yet, I'm ......" Xia Hong was also very strange, she didn't know why Qingguang's reaction was so intense, but after all, this was the second time that the two spirits recognized each other after many years, and they were a little curious and sentimental to each other, and after a good conversation in the sky, Qingguang knew why Xia Hong came here.

It turned out that when Qingguang entered the mountains to cultivate, Xia Hong was indeed waiting for him in that village at first, but later, the women in this village were a little idle, because Xia Hong transformed into a woman's body, and her appearance was extremely beautiful, not rare in the world, but also rare in the sky.

Gossip Xia Hong is not too concerned, but the accompanying relatives are a little endless, because Qingguang is gone for many years, almost everyone in the mountain village has already decided that the other half of Xia Hong has already been killed, and it must not be able to come back, this family and that family, a big push of people, waiting for the end Xia Hong is really a little unbearable, not to mention that there are still people who steal fish, and from time to time they will come to tease, which makes Xia Hong become the handle of the village and the scourge of the village, After pondering a few times, Xia Hong had to leave the village far away, thinking about going to the mountains to find out where the blue light was, but she had been searching in the mountains for several months and did not find a trace of the green light, and at this time the mountain village was also confused due to the disappearance of Xia Hong, some said that Xia Hong ran away with someone, and some said that Xia Hong was killed, in short, there were different opinions, there was no correct statement, until one day, when Xia Hong was looking for the whereabouts of Qing Guang in the mountains and forests, she was inadvertently seen by the people in the village who went into the mountains to chop wood, This gossip suddenly pointed to a saying, that is, Xia Hong became an evil ghost in the mountains, wandering in the mountains and forests all day long to catch passers-by, but this thing did not spread for a long time, and when waiting for Qingguang to return to the mountain village, these statements had already disappeared, and all that was left was the statement that Xia Hong went to a distant place.

As for why Xia Hong is in this town now, in fact, it is because he didn't find Qingguang, and she can't go back to the mountain village, so Xia Hong had to leave far away and find another place to rest, but with the passage of time, the place where Xia Hong stayed gradually changed from a barren to a mortal town, and it became more and more prosperous, and when Qingguang found it, this place had become the largest town within a radius of 100 miles, and it was the most lively.

After listening to the explanation, Qingguang looked at Xia Hong, shook his head, and said, "Then you didn't look for it at the time, I was in a cave at the top of the mountain." ”

"There are too many mountains and rivers in that place, you just let me find ...... I can't find it either! Besides, when you cultivate, don't you open the boundaries of cultivation, under normal circumstances, you can't find it even if you want to" Xia Hong is also a grievance, she hasn't tried to use spells to search for Qingguang, but just like she said, Qingguang will first arrange a boundary when cultivating, and use it to isolate the chaotic sound outside, and this boundary is like the cave used by monsters to cultivate, no matter what you do, as long as you use its owner to immortalize, this boundary will always exist.

Looking at Xia Hong's helpless expression, Qingguang gradually let go of his heart, and then said, "Okay!" I also know that I have some responsibility for this matter, but ......" Qingguang still didn't want to tell Xia Hong about his inability to cultivate, but the words had already come to this, if he really told him to swallow back, Qingguang was still a little reluctant to think for a while After thinking for a while, he continued: "But...... I still don't seem to have the ability to cultivate! ”

"Impossible! Wasn't it all good in the mountains and forests before? Why can't you cultivate now? "Xia Hong is also very strange, because it stands to reason that Qingguang's cultivation level was better than her before, but after waiting for Qingguang to come to this world, it is like going downhill, day by day, year by year.

Qingguang is also very worried about this, but in fact, he has no way, the two of them talked about some of the things that have happened over the years in mid-air, and then they landed in the town, Xiahong is already the owner of an inn at this time, but she can't show up in front of everyone because she is a daughter, although there are guys helping, but after all, there are some picky existences, but every time Xiahong appears, these people have almost nothing to say, Obediently took out the money and left with a smile.

Waiting for Qingguang to follow Xia Hong to this inn, he just looked up and down, turned his head and said, "You use this spell well!" The art of change has some meaning of refinement. ”

"That's ...... After all these years, I haven't forgotten to cultivate for a day" Xia Hong looked at Qingguang and smiled secretly at the corner of her mouth, Qingguang didn't want to praise Xia Hong's growth, he wanted to know why only Xia Hong could cultivate in this chaotic world and he couldn't, standing still for a long time Qingguang turned to look at Xia Hong and said, "Don't you have a time when you can't cultivate?" ”

"No, right? It seems that there is not" Xia Hong was also a little weak when asked by Qingguang, but after she recalled it for a while, she also answered in the affirmative.

"That's a little weird, why can't I? Is there some unknown obstacle here? Qingguang didn't understand the difference between him and Xiahong, if you want to talk about your background, the two spirits are in the mountains and forests, and if you want to say that there are different places, one is on the ground and one is in the sky, but this does not affect the degree of cultivation of the two at all, and after thinking carefully for a long time, Qingguang didn't figure out what was wrong.

Xia Hong watched Qingguang so distressed from the side, so she stepped forward and took Qingguang's hand and said, "You! Don't think about it so much, if you think too much, you won't be able to cultivate, I advise you to stay with me for a while, so that we can talk to each other well, and maybe I can help you open this stage of cultivation. ”

Qingguang heard that Xia Hong still wanted to take him to wander around this world, and just when he was about to say that he disagreed, the guy in the inn knocked on the door outside and said, "That...... Is the shopkeeper there? Someone outside is drinking too much and making trouble. ”

"Got it! I'll go over here" Xia Hong first dealt with the guy outside the door, and then shrugged the green light in front of him: "You wait here first, I'll be back soon." ”

Qingguang naturally didn't want to make trouble for Xia Hong, nodding his head to know, he sat on a chair in the room, and then looked out the window blankly, countless people on the road on the ground were coming and going, looking at those calm faces Qingguang frowned and muttered alone: "What's so good about this mortal world, I really don't understand why she wants to deal with these people all day long." ”

The words came out, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, Xia Hong happened to go back to the house to get something when Qingguang was talking to herself, and after hearing the words, she said to Qingguang: "I finally know why you haven't been able to cultivate." ”

"Why?" Qingguang saw that Xia Hong suddenly came back, so he quickly turned around and asked.

Xia Hong also didn't have any politeness and concealment, seeing that Qingguang stretched out her hand, pointed at Qingguang's chest and said: "My heart is alive, and your heart is dead, naturally there is no way to cultivate!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Qingguang looked at Xiahong, although he wanted to ask her to explain, but Xiahong avoided it with a smile, looking at Xiahong who walked out of the house again, Qingguang also had no choice, thinking about the words in his head, and he looked into the distance again without a clue.

A few broken leaves fell gently on the road, although I don't know what kind of tree it was, but looking at the emerald green appearance, it should have just been blown down by the wind, and after looking at it a few times, Qingguang suddenly stood up from the chair and walked back and forth in the house for a while, he came up with a strange idea, and this idea was the culprit that made him and Xia Hong fall into the abyss.

Anxiously waiting in the house, as Xia Hong returned from outside, Qingguang quickly pulled it into the house and then said, "I...... I found it! ”

"What did you find?" Xia Hong was a little stupid, she didn't know what Qingguang was all about, she only looked at his smile on his face because of joy, Xia Hong could only speak again with curiosity: "No...... Tell me what's wrong with you? ”

"I've found a way to continue cultivating" Qingguang's eyes were like lightning, and her whole body was full of joy and happiness, but Xiahong didn't understand it a little on the side, because she didn't know what Qingguang was thinking, she could only wait for Qingguang to explain.

After calming down for a while, Qingguang looked at Xia Hong and said, "You know the leaves!" ”

"This ...... Of course I do! But so what? Xia Hong only felt a moment of inexplicability at Qingguang's words, because these words didn't have any meaning at all, and things like leaves could be seen almost everywhere.

Qingguang looked at Xia Hong and still didn't quite understand, so he turned around and said, "I suddenly thought of one thing just now, that is, if I can also be like that tree, turn myself into a root, and then use the fallen leaves to cultivate, and wait for the maturity to combine these leaves together, will I be able to quickly cultivate the Tao that other friends need many years to have in the same time." ”

Xia Hong listened to Qingguang's words, but she didn't know what Qingguang was talking about, and after shaking her head and thinking about it for a while, Xia Hong said, "Leaves? Root? What the hell are you trying to say? ”

"Why don't you understand this yet! That's what I mean...... Divide me into several, and then cultivate together, and wait for the almost, in one place, will there be more Taoism" Qingguang looked at Xia Hong and said his thoughts again, but Xia Hong didn't understand what Qingguang meant at all, and after looking at it with puzzled eyes for a long time, she said: "I'm not sure if the method you said will work, but I feel that this way of cultivation is a bit too weird, I advise you not to try it." ”

"How can it be weird! I feel that this method is quite good, and the most important thing now is that I can't cultivate normally, do you want to watch me continue like this? Qingguang looked at Xia Hong, although he knew in his heart that the method he was thinking about might be commonsense, but how to say that this is also a kind of flexibility, if things don't change, he will die, so in order to pursue a way to break the status quo, Qingguang is aware of this thing.

Xia Hong also knew Qingguang's temper, and nodded at him and said, "Okay! Now that you've decided, it's up to you, but if it's really dangerous, you can't do it again. ”

"Don't worry!" Qingguang saw that Xia Hong had understood himself, and his heart was even happier.

But after all, but this thing is a little difficult to do, Qingguang after dozens of attempts, there is still no progress, he wants to go to Xia Hong to discuss, but after careful thinking, Qing Guang still dispelled this idea, when he was struggling to ponder, in order to dispel some meaningless time, Qing Guang would pull out his cultivated soul from himself, fly to Xia Hong, and chat with her about things, but during a conversation, Xia Hong half-joked that Qing Guang no longer needs a body, And this unintentional sentence is to make Qingguang Maosai, who has been in trouble, suddenly open, although his own body can not be separated, but it can be disassembled, his soul is unique, but flesh and bones, and even the clothes on the body, can be used to cultivate, see the direction, Qingguang is focus on it, with him dismantling his body into bones, flesh and blood, within a year Qingguang is to catch up with Xiahong's two-year Taoism, and with him to refine a set of armor made of mountain stones, The speed of Qingguang's cultivation is simply incomparable, one day is like three days, and three years are one year.

It only took a few dozen years, Qingguang's Taoism is to chase Xiahong, but this has also led to a complete change in his physical appearance, which can almost be said to be more terrifying than monsters, Xiahong once wanted to see how Qingguang's cultivation is, after all, it is not a thing to always look at Qingguang's soul, but every time Qingguang is stopped, there is always a big set of reasons, but paper can't contain the fire, this thing was seen by Xiahong in the end, looking at Qingguang's ugly appearance, Xia Hong was a little annoyed and said, "What the hell are you cultivating?" Is it a fairy or a ghost!? ”

"I, I, I......" Qingguang was also very helpless, this thing was something he didn't expect, but this cultivation is indeed the fastest way to increase Taoism, looking at Xiahong's angry face, Qingguang is repossessed into his bones, and he put on his human skin crookedly and said: "This ...... I didn't expect it either, but this method can really speed up our cultivation, why don't you try it too?" ”

"Me!? I don't...... You finally stop now, I don't feel like this kind of thing is like what we thought before" Xia Hong felt that something was wrong in this matter, but she didn't do anything to stop Qingguang.

Waiting for the words to come, Qingguang shook his loose human skin and said: "How you understand it is your business, I'm like this anyway, but don't blame me for not reminding you, when the time comes, if I step on the immortal position first, you can't talk nonsense!" ”

"You!? You can't be an immortal like this, it's still possible to enter the underworld" Xia Hong knew that Qingguang was joking, but she knew in her heart that according to Qingguang's current cultivation speed, he would really be able to rank in the immortal class in a few years.

Shaking her head and not wanting to look at Qingguang's current appearance, Xia Hong said goodbye to Qingguang and flew back to the inn, looking at everything around her, Xia Hong could only sigh, it is impossible for her and Qingguang to stay in this place, after all, if Qingguang's appearance is seen by mortals, there is a chance that it will be regarded as a monster.

Thinking about leaving, but Xia Hong couldn't let go of the inn where she had stayed for so long, and when she secretly wept, a figure fell from a high place and came to Xia Hong's eyes, Xia Hong looked at the falling figure and already knew that the person who came was not a mortal, but should be some kind of mountain spirit with Taoism, raised her head a little and looked at it a few times, a woman who was as beautiful as her stood aside and said: "You are the master here!" I want to occupy your place, I wonder if you would like to? If you don't want to, we can ......."

"You don't have to...... I can give it to you directly, but you have to promise me a condition" Xia Hong looked at the monster that came, and listened to its words to understand that the place where the mountain spirit conjured up was a cave and wanted to come and occupy it, this kind of thing is not a coincidence, but it is really like this if it is said to be at the point.

As soon as the spirit in the mountain heard that Xia Hong was going to give this place to it, it quickly opened its mouth and wondered, "You let it go to me?" ”

"That's right! Let it be given to you...... But the condition is that you are not allowed to harm mortals" Xia Hong looked at the spirit in the mountain, and there was no smell of blood from its body.

When the spirit in the mountain heard the reason Xia Hong said, he quickly nodded and said, "This is easy to do!" I've never eaten people. ”

"That's good!" Xia Hong relieved herself and followed the monster to explain her surroundings well, and then she left the town with Qingguang the next day.

Flying body, the two spirits are in the nearest mountain to find a place, with the change of Xia Hong's hand, a small temple in the mountains is faintly out, with the blue light and Xia Hong seclusion in it, this quiet day is I don't know how many years have passed, but with a golden light falling from the sky one day, the time of Qingguang and Xia Hong's seclusion is completely over......
