Chapter Thirty-Six: Except for the Mountain

(a)

In the early morning, the sky was just bright, and the light gauzy mist circled the bamboo sea.

The morning dew dripped down the bamboo leaves into the lake, disturbing the four slender figures reflected on the surface of the lake.

"Xiaobai, you wait for me, I'll look for you later. September reluctantly pulled Bai Hua's hands.

Bai Hua nodded with red eyes, took Jiujiu in his arms again, and comforted: "Well, I'll wait for you to come." ”

After speaking, he patted September lightly on the back. Unexpectedly, this beat, September, who was still holding back tears, cried, "Woo woo woo~ I haven't seen you for so long, you stayed for a day." We've got a lot of things to say before you're leaving. ”

As soon as he cried in September, Bai Hua, who was pouted, was even more choked up when he spoke, "You little brat, why do you learn to cry now when you grow up." Okay, don't cry in September, be good in September. ”

While Bai Hua comforted September, he couldn't help but sob. The two of them hugged and sobbed together for a while.

At this time, Ze Huang, who was standing on the side, picked his forehead, stepped forward and patted the two on the shoulder, and said, "I said, you two are not separated from life and death, aren't you going to see each other again in three months?

September let go of Bai Hua, wiped a handful of tears, shrugged his shoulders and waved at the Netherworld who had been silent beside him, and said in an urn voice: "Netherworld God, you must take good care of Xiaobai!"

Heck, sure enough, September was the best for me.

Bai Hua was moved to tears, and wanted to step forward to hug her again, but as soon as he lifted one foot, there was a burst of green smoke in front of him, and when he reacted again, he was already sitting on the cloud. I only heard Jiujiu shouting something below, but the wind above the clouds was too loud for Bai Hua to hear clearly.

"Xiaobai. The Nether stood aside and called out to her.

Bai Hua wiped two handfuls of tears and replied mournfully: "Yes." ”

Netherworld looked at her and said, "I'm with you now..."

"Huh, what are you talking about?" Bai Hua put his hand next to his ear and leaned sideways closer to the Netherworld. But because it was flying too fast at this time, there was only the sound of the whirring wind in my ears.

Nether slowed down a little with a wave of his sleeves, and said, "I'll tell you something now, and you'll have to remember it." ”

Bai Hua sat cross-legged and looked up at the Netherworld.

"Xiaobai, this time we went to Yeshamen for the matter of Heijiao, so we ......"

(b)

An hour later, auspicious clouds fell outside a hidden cave. Bai Hua rubbed his legs and flipped off the cloud first.

There seemed to be something strange about the place, with the lush branches blocking out the sunlight and a deathly silence all around. A few crows flew overhead, and with the eerie atmosphere, they made a terrible sound, and the sound made people's hearts hair.

"Nether Heavenly God, are you sure this is the Night Sand Gate?" Bai Hua asked in a low voice, and then moved closer to him, his eyes looking around vigilantly from time to time.

"Hmm. Snipping answered her, and the Netherworld walked steadily deeper into the woods.

Bai Hua pointed to the cave on the side, and whispered to the Netherworld in confusion: "Heavenly God~ Isn't this cave the entrance?"

Netherworld didn't stop, just whispered, "When did I tell you that the cave was the entrance?"

After stammering for a moment, Bai Hua bit his lip and took a few steps forward. However, out of curiosity, I couldn't help but look back at the cave again, "Then why are we stopping here?!"

After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders and turned around and trotted to follow.

Passing through the dense woods, there were several twists and turns. Gradually, my vision widened a lot, and on the winding path ahead, a few rays of sunlight shone down like pale yellow pillars of light.

After walking through the forest path, there are rows of winding stone steps in front of me, which extend all the way up, and there is no end in sight after looking at it for a long time.

This place is a bit like a cultivator, how terrifying it was just now.

Bai Hua looked around and crossed the netherworld, circled around and stopped at a big rock, and the word 'Remembrance' was engraved on the huge rock.

Bai Hua pointed to the words on the stone, and Xu Zhi said: "Except.... Read?"

"Whoever wants to practice, getting rid of distracting thoughts in his heart is the first place, so this mountain is named after him. Netherworld stood not far away and explained to Bai Hua.

Bai Hua suddenly said, "So, we have already arrived at Nian Removal Mountain?"

Netherworld bowed his head, walked up to Bai Hua again, put his hand on her shoulder, and said, "Now that I've arrived here, can you remember what I just said?"

Bai Hua glanced sideways at the big white hand on his shoulder, and nodded firmly.

"I forgot about it!" Withdrawing his hand, Netherworld stepped back slightly and looked at Bai Hua for a while.

Bai Huamu lowered his head to look at himself, then looked up at the Netherworld, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of white mist surrounded him, and after the white mist dissipated, Bai Hua was already dressed in men's clothes.

"It's easier for you to move around in this way. Netherworld said lightly.

It's a novelty, and I haven't tried to dress up as a man in hundreds of years. Playing with his heart for a while, Bai Hua immediately smiled, stood up straight, cleared his voice again, and said politely with his fists clasped in a good manner: "Netherworld God, Xiaosheng is so polite." ”

After this play was too much, the elegant young man changed into his usual lively appearance, and ran to the netherworld, asking, "How is it? How is it?

Full of anticipation, Bai Hua saw a smile on his calm handsome face. Just a moment passed, and it was enough to flatter Bai Hua for a while.

"Nether Heavenly God, did you laugh just now?" Bai Hua pointed to the corner of his mouth and asked uncertainly.

"When it comes to the Night Shamen, remember not to reveal the swordsmanship you have learned, you know?" the Netherworld dodged her question.

Bai Hua nodded, answered 'yes', and continued to ask, "Did you laugh just now?"

"Let's go. With that, the Netherworld walked towards the stone steps.

Bai Hua trotted behind him, pulled the corner of the nether clothes, and asked, "Are you smiling?"

Nether glanced at it, feigning anger, "Let go." ”

Bai Hua pouted and let go of his hand, but still didn't give up, "I saw it just now, you smiled." ”

The Netherworld couldn't resist her, and replied coldly, "No." ”

“....”

After walking up the stone steps for another half hour, the road ahead became narrower and narrower.

"Hey, Nether God, you wait for me. Bai Hua wiped his forehead twice and called forward a few more times.

The people in front of him still didn't stop, and Bai Hua chased after him with all his might. After crossing the netherworld, he hurriedly turned around and stood in the middle of the road with both hands.

"Rest, rest for a while!" After speaking, Bai Hua propped his thighs and gasped for breath.

Netherworld stood with his hands in his hands, "Why are you panting so much?"

"I just chased it a little harder, and it made me catch my breath for a while. Bai Hua simply sat on the ground.

One stood, the other sitting, and the two of them just took a nap. Bai Hua got up and pointed to the stone steps and asked, "How far is this?"

Netherworld looked up in the direction of his finger and said, "It's not far away, it's only half an hour." ”

Half an hour left?Bai Hua pulled a smile at the Netherworld, and then his body softened again.

"Why can't we go directly to the mountain gate?" Bai Hua was half-leaning on the stone steps, and he couldn't figure it out.

Netherworld looked at Bai Hua and said, "This stone step is also a practice, what have you seen along the way?"

What did you see? What else did you see besides the stone steps that never got to the end?

Bai Hua pondered for a while and replied, "Stone steps, if there is anything else, I just feel that this road is getting narrower and narrower. ”

Netherworld turned to look at the path he had taken, and said, "Yes, this stone staircase is like a distraction. At first, I thought a lot, and the road was very wide, but then you slowly gave up a lot of thoughts, and the road naturally became narrow. ”

Bai Hua was a little confused when he heard this, "Isn't the road wide? If it's narrow, it's not like there's no choice." ”

"For others, it's good that the road is wider. And for those who want to come to Yeshamen, the more this thought is thrown, the better, and the last thought left is only for the sake of cultivating a positive result. ”

Isn't this kind of practice going to throw everything away? What do they end up trying to do?

Thinking of this, Bai Hua unconsciously asked: "What if you have no desires and no desires, what if you have cultivated to the positive fruit?"

Netherworld slowly turned to look at her, and replied in a deep voice, "No desire, no desire, no desire? Not everyone can pass this level." ”

Looking at each other, Bai Hua still couldn't see anything in his dark eyes. She thought, maybe this is the highest state of desirelessness.

On this stone step, the Netherworld now spoke every word to Bai Hua, and it was a long time later that he realized that this was also addressed to himself.

The two walked for a short time one after the other, and finally came to a wide flat land.

At this time, the two Venerable Beings in purple robes were already standing under the tree and looking forward. One of the Venerable Beings saw the two Netherworld and immediately walked over with a smile on his face.

"Sora has seen the Netherworld. With that, Kong Ming bowed respectfully towards the Netherworld.

Another Venerable also walked up to him at this time, but this Venerable had a little less smile on his face, and he also bowed towards the Netherworld decently, "Kongsu has seen the Netherworld. ”

Emptiness, emptiness? This Venerable Being's appearance is simple, mellow and full, where can you see emptiness?

"Poof~" Bai Hua didn't hold back.

This sudden sound caused the two bowed Venerables to look behind the Netherworld in unison.

"Are the two Daoren all right?" the ghost asked rhetorically, drawing the eyes of the two who were about to look at them back.

That Kongming Daoren immediately grabbed Bai and replied: "Thanks to the blessing of the gods, it is very good." ”

Bai Hua covered his mouth behind him and shook his shoulders, not yet recovering from the 'emptiness and loneliness'. At this time, seeing this, the empty beard Daoren asked directly: "This son is not feeling well?"

Wen Kongsu asked, and the dark world turned his head to look at Bai Hua, and said to her in a low voice: "Xiaobai, don't be rude. Don't hurry up and salute the two Daoren of the Night Sand Gate. ”

With that, the Netherworld leaned to the side. Bai Hua immediately restrained his expression, and then bowed to the two in front of him, "Bai Hua has seen two Daoren. ”

This Netherworld God has always been a god, but now he has a messenger with him?

Thinking about this, Kong Ming looked at Bai Hua carefully, and asked with a smile, "Who is this?"

"Followers!" replied faintly.

Bai Hua lowered his head and drooped his head.

Well, from serving tea to entourage, can't you give a decent identity that can be handled?
