"That's ......"

Yuan Lai looked at a place under the mountain behind him in surprise, very surprised.

It's snow-capped, but it's not empty, but there is a small glacial lake, and around it there are trees.

The trees are dark, but they are full of colorful flowers.

In addition, there is a layer of fog that makes the scenery looming and difficult to see.

"That's, Plum Blossom?"

Yuan Lai was surprised.

He never expected that there would be such a scenery in the depths of this snow-capped mountain, but Daqi did not lack unique varieties of trees and flowers, although he was surprised, but it was understandable.

Off the beaten track, there are often spectacles.

The distance was still far away, and it was still impossible to see it really, so Yuan Lai immediately went down the mountain and approached the merchant.

The closer he was, the clearer he could see.

Those plum blossoms are pink and white, the petals are fat and tender, and the posture is relaxed, and it is not obvious that they are growing in such an extremely cold place.

Occasionally, when the wind blows, the petals are rolled up, carried into the air, and disappear without a trace.

The closer Yuan Lai became, the more peculiar he felt, and when he came to the plum blossom forest and stepped into the fog range, he saw that the edge of the lake was not covered with snow, let alone ice, but moist black soil.

Yuan Lai was very surprised, walked over and squatted by the lake, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he noticed a heat in the lake full of Lingxiu.

He put his hand in the water, and he saw that the lake was indeed warm.

In this cold place, there is a warm lake, and the wonder of creation is amazing.

However, next, Yuan Lai's eyes lit up again.

I saw that in the warm lake, there were a few crystal clear white lotuses floating.

The lotus flower floats on the water, swaying slightly with the wind, but it clearly reveals an incomparably pure Zen.

In the quiet, the water surface is slightly wrinkled, the white mist is shrouded, and the plum blossoms are dark and fragrant.

In this situation, Yuan Lai couldn't help but be stunned, and the hard work of rushing around for days seemed to dissipate in an instant.

However, he was intoxicated, and suddenly he realized something, and suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction of Merlin, his eyes flashed, and he shouted, "Who?!"

From that direction, there was a faint aura.

Yuan Lai had even quietly touched the sword on his back, and his heart was extremely vigilant.

However, the next moment, from the white mist of Merlin in that direction, it turned out to be a familiar figure.

"Senior Martial Arts?!" Yuan Lai was suddenly startled and shouted in a lost voice.

It was Wu Angelica who came over.

Wu Danggui was also surprised, his shoulders were still stained with snow, he walked steadily, and exclaimed, "Yuan Lai, why did you get here?"

Yuan Lai was inexplicably surprised, let down his vigilance, and immediately saluted respectfully: "I've seen my predecessors for a long time...... It's gone!"

......

......

Qianshan is inaccessible, so there is almost no communication.

When Yuan Lai and Wu Danggui talked to each other for a few words, Yuan Lai realized that being here, Wu Danggui didn't know about the turmoil in the outside world.

And when he learned what happened from Yuan Lai's mouth, the great cultivator was also amazed, and then sighed faintly.

Lakefront.

The two of them sat side by side on the ground, Wu Danggui listened to Yuan Lai's narration, sighed, and said bitterly: "I didn't expect that just after living in isolation for more than a year, the world has undergone such a big change. ”

Yuan Lai nodded and said, "Things are indeed changing too fast. ”

"So, now that the two sides are at war, it's a troubled time again?" Wu Danggui asked.

Yuan Lai nodded yes.

The latter sighed again, the former general of the imperial court who fought in all directions in the past, but at this time he was embarrassed, he shook his head, and said: "The war is together, and the people will suffer again." ”

Yuan Lai was silent.

After a pause, Yuan Lai asked with some surprise, "You don't seem to care much about the matter of seizing the emperor?"

"What is there to care about?" Wu Danggui smiled faintly, pointed to the sky, and said, "The way of heaven is good reincarnation, since the royal family has forcibly detained the souls of so many strong people to protect the imperial city, then it is only natural that they will be attacked at this time." ”

"But don't you wonder who did it, and for what purpose?"

"I didn't care about these things 10 years ago. Wu Danggui shook his head and said slowly, "Actually, I have always felt that the current cultivators are not as good as in ancient times, although the cultivation is more organized than in the past, and the number of cultivators is far more than in ancient times, but it lacks the kind of ancient people's heart. The ancients pursued to ascend to the fairy world, so a heart yearns for the stars, and does not remember the red dust, but they are very ashamed of being implicated in the world. After that, until the cultivator realized that there was no immortal realm in the world, the mind of ascension faded, and there was no rush, but he began to turn around and pursue the power of the earthly world. You see, it's like the current war, no matter how strong or weak the major sects are, they have to get involved, participating in wars, killings, and intrigue, where is there still the slightest bit of cultivator's bearing?"

Wu Danggui sighed, and said with a complicated gaze: "Although it is called progress, how can it not be a kind of regression? If you want me to say, the spirit of the current cultivators is far inferior to that of the ancients. ”

Yuan Lai was silent, sitting next to him was clearly a general who had been riding and killing people for the first half of his life, but now, he seemed to be a scholar who had seen through the world.

Or, it is precisely because of this state of mind that they will live in seclusion here, and they will not be moved by the war in the outside world.

Yuan Lai couldn't help but be a little envious of Wu Danggui's state of mind, and at the same time felt sad that he had to be involved in the red dust.

However, he still couldn't help but defend those cultivators who were entangled in the red dust: "Having said that, since there is no goal of ascension, what is the purpose of cultivation if we don't strive for fame and fortune......? Goal it. ”

When Wu Danggui heard this, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Running head? Of course you can have it." ”

"Huh?" Yuan Lai was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Wu Angelica to react like this.

I saw the latter get up and say, "Aren't you going to come to the altar to break through the four realms? That's right, when you ascend the altar, you'll understand." ”

Yuan Lai was still at a loss, but the old man kicked him directly, and scolded with a smile: "Get up, what are you still sitting for?" Come with me, I really didn't expect that your kid would reach this kind of cultivation so quickly, it is really better for people to die than people, and goods for goods to be thrown away." ”

Yuan Lai got up with a wry smile, and had to say that this kind of Wudanggui made him feel more familiar.

"Speaking of which, is Aunt Xiao the one in charge of the altar?" Yuan Lai walked out behind the old man, inquiring.

Wu Danggui responded casually, satisfying his curiosity.

"By the way, what's going on with this piece of Merlin?" asked Yuan Lai again.

The old man suddenly smiled and said: "This place, but it is famous, the legend says that hundreds of years ago, there was a peerless sword cultivator walking in the thousands of mountains, and met a piece of plum forest that was born and raised, and broke a golden and iron plum blossom branch as a sword, and became the king of a hundred soldiers, have you heard of this legend?

Yuan Lai was surprised, he had naturally heard this legend, and when the battle of Linjiang was at the beginning, some people in the crowd watching the battle talked about it, but he didn't expect it to come from here.

He couldn't help but look back again.

sighed, the word inheritance in the world is the same.
