Volume 1 Gods and Demons in Troubled Times Chapter 5 Ascending the Dao

In the afternoon, snow gradually began to fall on Crouching Tiger Mountain, but with a cup of tea, the originally empty eyes turned into snowflakes, swaying and dancing.

The guards of the eastern sentry post have not dared to move since they came from the east without warning. It's nothing in the east, and here, everyone knows what he's thinking. It's just the sentry guards who accompany him, although he doesn't feel cold in his fur coat, but his feet are numb, and the soreness of the soles of his feet is really unbearable. But with Dongfang by his side, the sentry guard even had to accept it as if he was suffering and didn't dare to say it, and he was tired!

Waiting for the change of the guard, come forward and see the two motionless snowmen above, they will laugh out loud, and quickly swallow it, at this time they want to laugh in their hearts, in case the second master starts to go crazy and doesn't leave all night, isn't the next bad luck to be himself? Besides, this scene is not strange since the beginning of winter, and if you don't talk too much in a month, you can see at least a dozen times. Just because the second master appears like a ghost from time to time, the people in the stockade are holding the lottery in their hands when they draw lots and set up sentry, and they repeatedly silently say in their hearts: Don't be the east! Don't be the east!

Otherwise, if you meet the second master, you will be really physically and mentally tired after a round of whistles, and you will not be able to recover in a few days.

At this moment, it seemed that the east direction was tired, and when the guard was changing, it was suddenly like a yellow dog throwing water, and the snow on his whole body was shaken off in a moment, and his movements were extremely neat.

Dongxiang's sudden move frightened the numb bandit to sit directly on the ground, unable to move for a long time, and then Dongxiang didn't say much, and didn't wait for the two bandits to speak, and just slipped away.

The remaining two bandits looked at each other, crying and laughing:

"What do you say these two masters are doing something, you have to stay here when I'm on guard, you see my feet are swollen!"

"Hahahaha! Fortunately, it's you who carry it, this is going to be the second master later, and I'm the one who suffers!"

"You're still laughing, do you think you can hide! Next time I'll have your good fruit to eat! Ouch! Pull me, I can't get up!"

"Okay, come, get up, go back and rest for a few days, and tell the fourth master, he won't arrange for you to be a sentry in the next few days." ”

"Okay, I'll tell the four masters. Next time, absolutely, definitely not to the east!"

"Hey, let's go, let's go, don't say anything. By the way, go back and talk to the four masters about building a shed for this outpost, the snow is heavy, and I can't stand it anymore. ”

"Yes, okay, then I'll go. ”

The two bandits completed the handover of the sentry, one limped to the stockade with his legs, and the other stood on the sentry platform refreshedly and laughed insolently.

I don't know if the east direction knows that he can't stand the brother of the sentry post, or what, he trotted and didn't stop at all. It's just that when passing by Wu Niang Zhen Bu's treatment room, a faint and vague sound came from the room, which made the east direction stop immediately.

I pushed the door into the house from the east and found that Wu Niang was not in the house at this time, and I didn't know where I went. Lu Cong, who was lying on the bed, opened his mouth in a daze, and shouted softly and eagerly: "Water!

Dongfang hurriedly poured half a bowl of hot water from the stove on one side, mixed with some water in the teapot, and then helped Lu Cong up, and brought the warm water in the bowl to his mouth.

After drinking a bowl of water, Lu Cong, who seemed to have recovered a little, opened his eyes slightly, and saw that the big face of a man with a face was embedded in the beam, looking at him with some worry in his eyes. Lu Cong's fingers moved slightly, but he found that he was in the thick quilt, his whole body was warm, his eyes were blurry, and he saw that the room was also bright, and before he had time to think more, Lu Cong fell asleep with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Dongfang had nothing to do, so he planned to stay by Lu Cong's side and wait for the little guy to wake up.

Xinhua Peak, Lu Xiao is climbing the stairs, before the innkeeper at the foot of the mountain said: Luoxia Academy is halfway up the mountain peak, go straight up the stairs between the mountains, and you can see the entrance of the academy in a small half a day, and the shopkeeper behind him said a bunch of words of admiration for Luoxia Academy, but Lu Xiao directly ignored them.

Obviously Lu Xiao, who was in a hurry, was not in a hurry, and stopped and stopped, because Xinhua Peak stood by the sea, and there were several seaside viewing platforms all the way to the mountain for people to rest, and each place could see different seaside scenery, so that while climbing the mountain, from time to time on the mountain's viewing platform to look at the surrounding scenery, Lu Xiao also felt that it was not bad.

The last place near the Luoxia Academy's viewing platform is the most popular place for the literati of Luoxiazhou, looking down from this viewing platform, not only is there a blue tide with waves, facing a line from a very far away, but also the surging clouds overflowing the sea, quietly changing extremely smart and chic, for a time the eyes of the superb scenery is stacked, extremely magnificent, breathtaking. Therefore, here is also the only place to stand the stone tablet of the sea viewing platform, the whole stone tablet chisels the book "cloud sea double unique" four words, vigorous and powerful, real and virtual together, it is said that it is the handwriting of the old master Liu of the cursive master of this Luoxia Academy.

When Lu Xiao walked here to watch the sea platform, there was already a person sitting at the stone table, making tea under this cliff pine, Lu Xiao saw that it was the purple-clothed Taoist, who had not seen him for many years, Lu Xiao suddenly felt that he was not dreaming again.

Seeing Lu Xiao appear, the purple-clothed Taoist hurriedly got up, knelt down on one knee facing Lu Xiao, and said respectfully: "I've seen an adult, I've been away for many years, I don't know if an adult is okay?" Lu Xiao didn't speak, and as soon as he raised his hand, the purple-clothed Taoist immediately got up, walked to the table with two coughs, and poured tea for Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

The purple-clothed Taoist replied: "I know that the adult is coming to Luoxia Academy, so I am waiting here to hand over a thing to the adult." ”

"What's that?"

The purple-clothed Taoist hurriedly took out a silver silk sac as thin as a cicada's wings from his sleeve, handed it to Lu Xiao, and then said solemnly: "My lord, this is a heaven-covering sac made from my natal hair, as long as your life fire is placed in it, no one in this world can see through the color of your life fire, and what can be seen is only the same color as mortals." In addition, it can also be used as your storage space, so if you have a treasure to hide in it, no one will find out. After speaking, the purple-clothed Taoist couldn't hold back his cough again, and a trace of black blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth was quietly wiped away.

Lu Xiao couldn't hide the shock in his heart, looked at the sky-covering bag in his hand, and then looked at the purple-clothed Taoist on the side, and suddenly asked out loud: "What is the life fire, why is my life fire hidden?"

The purple-clothed Taoist said softly: "My lord, the fire of life is the original fire of life of all things in the world. As for why you want to hide your life, you'll find out later. ”

Lu Xiao couldn't understand this word for a while, so he had to put it down first, and then asked, "That... Are you a god?"

The purple-clothed Taoist smiled bitterly and replied, "You think it is, that is!" After speaking, the purple-clothed Taoist coughed violently again, even if he immediately covered it with his hands, there were still black blood stains oozing from his fingers, and the purple-clothed Taoist immediately turned around.

Lu Xiao asked, "Are you injured?"

The purple-clothed Taoist stabilized his body and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, but after seeing you, your subordinates will go to retreat to heal, and please take care of yourself during this period." ”

Lu Xiao recalled the last conversation with the purple-clothed Taoist, and combined it with this time, although it still sounded inexplicable, he nodded and gave a response.

The purple-clothed Daoist's face became more and more pale, and his whole body seemed to be shaky, so he had to hurriedly say to Lu Xiao: "My lord, you go up the mountain first!" But this is not the Luoxia Academy you want to go to, you follow the climbing stairs and go up, don't be afraid when you reach the cliff of the stairs, continue to walk up, and you will arrive at the real Luoxia Academy." ”

Lu Xiao didn't know why, and he hadn't made any moves, but he saw the purple-clothed Taoist hand wave, and the silver light around him flashed, and the purple-clothed Taoist disappeared in front of his eyes.

Lu Xiao looked at the sky-covering sac in his hand, and when he tried to bring it close to his forehead, the sky-covering sac flashed, integrated into Lu Xiao's body, and turned into an invisible cover to protect his black lifefire. Lu Xiao didn't seem to have any feelings about this, he casually picked up the whole set of tea sets on the side, and as soon as his mind moved, the tea set disappeared in an instant and fell into the sky-covering bag.

Although Lu Xiao still has too much puzzle in his heart now, even after seeing the spell of the purple-clothed Taoist and this sky-covering bag, although Li Xinting quietly nodded before, but when he has not really appreciated the mystery of the cultivator, Lu Xiao still has some doubts in his heart.

The purple-clothed Taoist in the clouds looked at Lu Xiao, who had not yet moved, and was also very apprehensive in his heart, but he was immediately relieved, and only he could understand the taste. Seeing that his injuries were still deteriorating, the purple-clothed Taoist had no choice but to take one last look at the Xinhua Peak, which seemed to have no way to go, and then disappeared.

Lu Xiao stood up and looked at the sea viewing platform, the sea and clouds in front of him seemed to be one, but Lu Xiao suddenly felt that even if the world was upside down, there would still be the same scenery here.

When the wind blew a strand of hair that fell in front of Lu Xiao's forehead, Lu Xiao immediately turned around and continued to climb the mountain.

The road behind this is really as the purple-clothed Taoist said, the climbing stairs are divided into two in front of the gate of this Luoxia Academy, one goes to the Luoxia Academy, and the other extends to the side of the academy.

Lu Xiao walked up the stairs on the periphery of the academy step by step, and when he reached the end of the stairs, Lu Xiao stopped, and then poked his head out slightly, and could only see the back of the academy and the hanging wall under his feet, as well as the sea of clouds in front of him that was undulating with the wind. Even though Lu Xiao has always been calm, his heart is beating faster at this moment, his mind is a little confused, and he can't help but think that if he takes another step, he will definitely fall off the cliff, and if he falls, he can't even describe the misery.

Lu Xiao raised his hand to hold on to the wall, stopped his slightly trembling body, and breathed several times before gradually calming down. But the wind didn't stop, and it kept blowing Lu Xiao's hair and clothes, as if to push Lu Xiao back behind the climbing steps. Lu Xiao still remembered what the purple-clothed Taoist said just now, gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, life and death were fateful. Exhaled two deep breaths, took a step forward, leaned forward, and Lu Xiao's whole person suddenly had a close contact with the more ancient and broken stairs in front of him.

Lu Xiao, who landed safely, had palpitations, gently rubbed his eyes, and hurriedly leaned into the stairs after realizing it, and then looked around carefully There was nothing unusual, Lu Xiao lay on the stairs, so that he could slow down, and it didn't matter if the wind continued to blow on his face.
