The wind was bitterly cold, and the snow was like a seat.

The rugged mountain road has been completely covered with heavy snow, and the original road is not visible at all.

At a glance, the four fields were silent, and the eyes were white, and there was almost no variegation.

In bad weather like this, not to mention people, even wild animals are rarely seen.

But at this moment, on the mountain road, there are two people, an old man and a young man, the old man and the dog are hugging his body, his white hair is almost the same color as the heavy snow, and the young man's waist is straight and vibrant, which forms a very sharp contrast with the old man.

At this moment, the old man raised his eyes and looked at the mountains in front of him, and said quietly: "Cultivation is like walking on the road, it will never be smooth all the way, in addition to the rivers blocking the road, there are also high mountains blocking the road, and what you have to do is not to cross the river when you meet the river, and turn over the mountain when you meet the mountain." ”

Ye Qiu frowned and said, "What then?"

The old man patted the snow on his body and said heavily: "The road of cultivation is to open mountains and build bridges when encountering water, only in this way can 'the stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and rivers flow'." ”

Ye Qiu was puzzled: "If you really want to pave a bridge when you encounter water, and see the mountains open up the mountains, won't it give great convenience to future generations?"

The old man nodded and said, "That's the truth, but if you don't even have this bit of open-mindedness, how can you go far?"

Ye Qiu pondered carefully.

The old man continued: "Cultivation is not only for the sake of strengthening oneself, but also for the benefit of future generations, so it does not matter whether a person's talent is good or bad, but whether the person maintains a pure heart, which is why I chose you in the first place. Whether you have a heart or a mother's heart, you are not bad. ”

Ye Qiu smiled a little embarrassedly, pointed to the big mountain in front of him and said, "Let's go over this mountain first." ”

After saying this, he should climb the mountain first.

The old man looked at his back and pouted: "Old man, I haven't praised anyone in my life, and you kid is embarrassed." ”

Ye Qiu in front of him said loudly: "Old man, you still have to watch the road, if you fall down the foot of the mountain, even if you cultivate to the sky, you will have to shorten a few bones, don't ask me to carry you when the time comes." ”

The words were so awkward that the snow on the trees fell.

The old man hurriedly followed Ye Qiu, and said with a smile: "You kid killed Wang Tianxing, and so many elders of the Wang family also died because of you, it won't be long before the Wang family will have no place in Snow Moon City, and people will also count this account on your head, when you arrive at the Oriental Academy, can the girl of the Wang family let you go?"

Ye Qiu nodded, and said disapprerovingly: "I even dare to kill Wang Tianxing, and I am still afraid of a yellow-haired girl?"

The old man smiled: "That's right, but sooner or later, you kid will find out that if you look down on a woman, you will suffer a big loss." ”

Ye Qiu didn't think there was much truth in what he said, but turned around and looked at the old man and said, "Have you eaten it?"

The old man actually sighed, looking a little stunned, he didn't continue the topic, but changed his mouth and said: "The battle with Wang Tianxing will be of great effect to you, and you will go down the mountain to find a place in a while, and try to see if you can break through to the seventh order of the spirit warrior." ”

Ye Qiu nodded, the old man could see his current state, of course it was impossible for him not to know.

Then his mind became a little heavy, in just three months, he broke through to the seventh order of the spirit master, and it won't be long before he should reach the tenth order of the spirit master, and at that time, if he can't find the divine dragon to devour, he will not be able to continue to advance to the spirit master......

Then even if you go to the Oriental Academy, it will be useless.

The old man seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "The Eastern Academy can indeed provide you with a lot of cultivation convenience, but it is absolutely impossible for you to find a divine dragon to advance, even if they want to find it, they don't have that ability, so before going to the Eastern Academy, you must raise your cultivation to the tenth level of the spirit master, and you must find the divine dragon to devour." As for advancing to the Spirit Sect, I'll talk about it later. ”

Ye Qiu sighed and said, "I'm not worried about cultivating to the tenth rank of the Spirit Priest, but where can I find this divine dragon?"

The old man said disdainfully: "If a divine dragon appears at this moment, won't you just watch it slip away?"

Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, and could only nod.

Indeed, if a divine dragon appeared now, he could really only watch it slip away, just like the spirit beast that saw Long Baifei last time.

Shenlong, a divine beast that is unattainable, if you want to meet it, it depends entirely on chance, and what you have to do is to hurry up your cultivation and reach the tenth level of the spirit warrior as soon as possible, so that you can be prepared.

Thinking like this, his pace couldn't help but speed up a lot.

To this, the old man only had a faint smile. It is said that "the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual", all he has to do is to constantly spur Ye Qiu to progress, and find out some unnecessary detours on the cultivation road for him, and in addition, he can't give him anything.

Even if he cultivates to the sky, it is impossible to directly instill all his cultivation to Ye Qiu, even if he can, then Ye Qiu can only reach the same height as himself at most, which is not what he wants.

Ye Qiu stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the scenery below the mountain, and only felt that he was in an unusually good mood.

In all these years, he had never walked out of Snow Moon City, let alone climbed such a mountain and seen such a scenery.

The wind at the top of the mountain is stronger and colder, but only when the wind blows like that can you feel what kind of mood it is.

The snow-white mountains, the snow-white houses at the foot of the mountains, and the smoke curling from the houses...... It turns out that in this barren northern cold land, there is also such a beautiful scenery.

The old man stood behind him, just with a faint smile, and did not bother him.

Ye Qiu's current state of mind is very suitable for him to break through the seventh order of the spirit priest.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ye Qiu to sit cross-legged in the snow, pinch it with both hands, and then close his eyes.

As his eyes closed, streaks of golden-red light began to appear behind him, and then small blood-red fish slowly appeared, their huge tails fluttering gently in the wind and snow.

The old man stood with his hands in his hands.

As time continued, Ye Qiu's body began to be covered by heavy snow, and soon a huge snowman was formed.

The old man stood motionless, and soon was completely covered by the heavy snow, and a huge snowman was formed.

On the top of the mountain, two snowmen appeared, one sitting and the other standing.

The snow gets heavier and heavier, and the snowman quickly turns into a snowball.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Qiu's snowball changed first, the huge snowball actually began to crack, and then exploded suddenly, and the blood-red small fish's double fins swayed and floated up.

When this small fish swam to the top of Ye Qiu's head, its body began to emit dazzling light, and these rays of light directly wrapped Ye Qiu completely in it from top to bottom.

As the light shrouded, the snow around him melted at a visible rate, and soon a large crater formed where he was sitting.

At this time, the snowball formed by the old man also began to change, the snow on his body was actually falling off the ground layer by layer, he opened his eyes and looked at Ye Qiu, his eyes were full of a smile of relief.

The light around Ye Qiu slowly faded, and the blood-red fish also turned into a little light and sprinkled on Ye Qiu's body, and then merged into his body.

With the integration of these lights, there was a faint glow on his body, so when he opened his eyes, he looked so radiant.

The old man smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have climbed another mountain." ”

As soon as Ye Qiu's mind moved, seven dark blue knives appeared in his hands, and the light on them lingered, like purple flames.

Ye Qiu looked at the seven knives, but a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, after entering the seventh order, he could clearly feel that the promotion after that was even more difficult, the moment he stepped into the seventh order, it was like stepping into a vast ocean.

Seeing him like this, the old man couldn't help frowning.

Ye Qiu put away the flying knife, rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and muttered, "It's just that the tenth order of the Spirit Warrior is so difficult, isn't it even more difficult to achieve the realm after that?"

The old man looked at the village under the mountain with a pair of eyes, and said softly: "Cultivation is a journey, the road is slowly cultivated, there is almost no end, and how far a person can go, in addition to talent, the most important thing is the heart and indomitable spirit, you can see the difficulties in the future, this is not a bad thing, but if you are afraid of this kind of difficulty, it will cause extremely serious consequences, so this point, you must think clearly." ”

Ye Qiu closed his eyes and let out a long breath, "I'm not afraid of difficulties, I'm afraid that I can't afford to wait, ten years, fifty years, or a hundred years?

The old man turned his head to look at him and asked solemnly, "What do you want to do most now?"

Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then said without thinking: "Become stronger." ”

The old man smiled: "Isn't this the end?"

Ye Qiu frowned, and then smiled. His depressed mood was completely relieved with this smile.

The old man walked slowly down the mountain with his hands behind his back, and said: "Turning over the mountain, going up the mountain is half, going down the mountain is half, and sometimes, going down the mountain is much more difficult than going up the mountain." ”

Ye Qiu frowned, he didn't think it was more difficult to go down the mountain than to go up, after all, going down the mountain was all downhill, and the strength required would be reduced a lot.

Puzzled, he moved to follow the old man.

Heavy snow covers the mountain, the mountain road is rugged, and the speed of descent is fast, and it is easy to slip if you are not careful, which is a situation that does not occur when going up the mountain.

After almost falling off the cliff several times, Ye Qiu walked extremely cautiously with every step, and then he found that going down the mountain was not only more careful than going up, but also more difficult.

He looked at the back of the old man in front of him, and his heart was full of thoughts.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, Ye Qiu found that he was a little feverish, and he spent more time than when he went up the mountain.

The old man stood at the foot of the mountain, shook the remnants of the snow on his scream, and said with a smile: "Only then can I climb a mountain." ”

Ye Qiu didn't seem to understand the old man's words, but he didn't ask, and it wasn't until many years later that he figured out the deep meaning of the old man's words.

At the foot of the mountain is a small village, surrounded by mountains, and only a small stream runs through the village, but the stream has long been frozen by ice, and the surface of the stream is covered with thick snow.

It was dusk, but there were still many children playing on the stream.

The cold wind froze their smiling faces red, but they didn't seem to know what cold was, grabbed the snow with their reddened little hands, crumpled it into a ball, and smashed it at the child on the other side.

On the side, a little boy squatted on the surface of the stream, his hands were pulled by another little boy, and the little boy who was pulling kept retreating, and the little boy who was squatting on the surface of the stream slid forward.

Because he retreated too fast, and he couldn't see the situation behind him, a snowball really hit him on the head, and he naturally turned his head and fell to the ice, and the little boy he was pulling was also pulled up and fell down.

The children around laughed and laughed very happily.

Two children got up from the stream and stared at the laughing children.

I saw the beaten child roll up his sleeves, and then rush to a little boy who didn't laugh in a huff.

The little boy watched him rush towards him, jumped up from the lake, turned and ran......

Ye Qiu stood on the edge of the stream, looking at this group of children, and felt very interesting.

A long, long time ago, he played with his eldest brother, second brother and younger sister, and he suddenly felt a little nostalgic for those days, and even wanted to play with these children.

Suddenly, he missed his eldest brother and second brother a little, and he missed his little sister a little.

At the same time, he was also a little worried.

Although Wang Tianxing is dead, and many elders of the Wang family are also dead, but after all, the Wang family still has masters, will the remaining people jump over the wall in a hurry and attack the eldest brother and second brother?

Although the little sister is in the Oriental Academy, in addition to Wang Xuanru, there are many young children in the Wang family who are also in the Oriental Academy, will they attack Ye Dong?
