Chapter 57: The Cave on the Cloud Ridge

It was already two days before Ye Rusi arrived at the new Ali bazaar. Ali's bazaar in Yunling is larger than the previous bazaar in Pandatian, with hundreds of tents occupying a large area of grassland. Like the previous arrangement, in the middle was Ali's own big tent, surrounded by other stall owners' tents, densely packed in rows. It's just that this time it's slightly different from the past is that there is also a market not far from Ali Bazaar, and the owner of this big tent is known as Jin Zhadong, the number one strongman in Yunling. It is said that Jin Zadong's mana is unfathomable, but he likes to do business, and the whole family business is all over the Tianshen grassland. However, Zadong's market is different from Ali's market, Zadong's market only operates its own stalls, and other stall owners are not allowed to join, so the scale has not been as large as Ali's market, but fortunately, there are children everywhere, and many tribes on the grassland like to go to his market.

This time, Ali-sama built the market near the Zadong market, and you can imagine how lively the place becomes. After rushing back to the market, Yerusi told Ali what he had prepared. Ali reclined on the jade chair as usual, and listened to Ye Rusi's words with a smile. He didn't seem to care that Ye Rusi hurried back to the market so quickly, and ordered the black cat to set up a banquet for his apprentice to pick up the wind and wash the dust. This night, the Ali Bazaar was very lively, and the giant Arudiba roasted hundreds of antelopes early, and brought out hundreds of jars of spiritual wine. The stall owners toasted Ali and Yerusi one after another, and the noise continued until late at night. Although Ye Rusi knew that she was here as an expedient measure, she was still touched by Ali's meticulous care. He has experienced the warmth and coldness of human affection since he was a child, the world is hot and cold, he has grown up in swords and pursuits, and only during the healing period of Yunmeng Daze did he experience a peaceful life that he had not experienced for a long time. And at this time, in this strange world, Ali's care like an elder makes Ye Rusi's hard heart warm and abnormal.

After the banquet ended, Ali took Yerusi's hand and walked back to the big tent together. Ye Rusi drank a lot of wine and was groggy, and after following Ali to the big tent, he leaned on a white jade seat and went up.

"Xiao Si, I'm very happy for my teacher today, do you know what it's for?" Ali said unhurriedly as he seemed to be drunk and reclining on the green jade chair

"I'm also very happy, thank you, Master," Ye Rusi replied

"I have been a teacher for countless years, and I have already cultivated to the peak of the divine realm, there are no Taoist companions, no disciples, and countless eras have been cultivating alone. Until I meet you, let me see you at first sight, you are the greatest gift from God to be a teacher. Last time you left the bazaar and returned home, I was worried that you would never return, but the twisted melon is not sweet, if you don't want to follow the teacher, I won't force you. But you're back, and I'm really happy to be a teacher. From tomorrow onwards, the teacher will pass on your exercises to help you become a god as soon as possible," Ali said excitedly as he looked at the drunk Ye Rusi

"Thank you, Master, thank you...... "Ye Rusi fell asleep before she finished answering the question

The wine fell asleep soundly and was unusually sweet. Night Rusi had no dreams, and when he woke up, he was already in the morning, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was not in his tent but in Ali's tent, and that he was covered with a silver cloak, and the owner of the cloak, Lord Ali, was nowhere to be seen.

After washing, having breakfast, I asked the maids around me, but I didn't know when Master Ali went out. Ye Rusi stopped looking for it and returned to his tent alone to cultivate.

About dinner time, the maid came to inform that Master Ali had returned, and asked Ye Rusi to come over and have dinner together. Ye Rusi hurriedly packed up and hurriedly followed the maid to the central tent.

The butter candles had been lit in the tent, and Ali was sitting on his jade chair drinking alone, the light of the fire dancing according to the god's face cloudy. After Ye Rusi came in, Ali pointed to a white jade table in the center of the big tent and motioned for him to eat, so he ignored Ye Rusi and drank one by one. Ye Rusi sat at the jade table and did not drink or eat meat, he was quietly waiting for Ali's orders. Ali was still drinking, glass after glass of wine, as if the irritating sensation of wine in his throat could make people forget the unpleasant things quickly. After a while, the two jars of wine on the table were drunk, Ali raised his head and looked at Ye Rusi sitting quietly at the table, and sighed and said: "You can eat by yourself, you are in a little unhappy for the teacher, so I won't talk much today" After that, he left the big tent alone. Ye Rusi felt a little strange, Ali always seemed to be in his mind, and his faint but detached smile was his signature. The sight of his smile and determined eyes dispelled all the uneasiness in his heart. However, Ali today gave him the feeling of anxiety, and Ye Rusi thought that maybe it had something to do with Ali's solo travel. Ye Rusi did not stop at the big tent and ordered the maid to remove the banquet, and returned to the tent alone.

Ye Rusi did not meet Ali for a few days, according to the maid said that Ali has not returned for a few days, although there have been cases of Ali traveling alone for a few days without returning, but this time Ye Rusi always felt a little uneasy. After getting up early in the morning, Ye Rusi decided to go to the direction of the Mirage Cave marked on the map to explore the way, and by the way, learn about the topography of this Yunling grassland.

Yunling Grassland is a plateau grassland, from the central grassland all the way to the south of the terrain gradually uplifted, compared to other grasslands, this Yunling grassland is like a giant beast raised head, towering and standing to the sky roaring. At the southernmost end, there is a mountain ridge that hinders the continuation of the grassland, that is, the legendary Cloud Ridge, the mountain is towering, the clouds are shrouded, and it is said that the other end of the cloud ridge is another world, but no one has ever confirmed that the legend is true, because no one has ever returned to this world since the beginning of the day.

Ye Rusi was flying all the way south on the invisible flying carpet at this time, and the places where the bazaars and tribes gathered were gradually decreasing, and what came into view was full of desolation and vicissitudes. When he arrived at the edge of the Yunling Mountains, Ye Rusi couldn't help but think in his heart, is this still a grassland? The sparse wild grass grows among the huge and dark stones, some of which are dozens of feet high, and they are covered with green moss, as if no one has been here since ancient times.

According to the map, the mirage cave is located on top of that dark mountain. Ye Rusi stood on the flying carpet and carefully observed this legendary cloud ridge, only to see that the mountain was dark throughout, and it looked like a black barrier from afar, separating the grassland from the outside world. The dark rock has been polished for countless years, and it looks desolate and quaint. There is a black vine full of spikes growing all over the mountain, and I happen to see several insects and beasts that feed on the fruits of the vine, which are also black and busy looking for food.
