Xiao Zhinan walked slowly towards the road ahead, and at the foot of the mountain in front of him, the outline of a village faintly emerged.

This place is far away from the mountain and river town.

Twilight began to fall.

Li Mengzhou kicked the stones on the mountain road, looked at the direction of the village, and felt a little happy and sad, "I finally found a place to stay!"

After walking so far, even a cultivator would feel tired.

Cultivators are not gods, and there are no gods in the world, if they urge the Qi Sea Lingyuan to hurry, it is natural to travel thousands of miles a day, and even traveling thousands of miles is a common thing, but that must consume a lot of spirit yuan, and the consumption of spirit yuan will also make the spirit of the cultivator slightly tired, and without urging the Qi Sea Spirit Yuan to hurry, the cultivator is just slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Although Xiao Zhinan's cultivation realm is much stronger than Li Mengzhou's, and the sword cultivation itself also has a very high-quality physique, but purely in this regard, Li Mengzhou is bound to be better than Xiao Zhinan.

Li Mengzhou still shouted tired, even if she wasn't really tired, but Xiao Zhinan was definitely more tired than him, but she didn't say it, but when she saw the village that was faintly emerging not far away, she was also secretly relieved.

......

Long Tree Village.

A very small but very old village.

The villagers here work at sunrise and rest at sunset, repeating the same thing.

But in fact, many people in the world are doing repetitive things, which is very boring, but if you can find the fun in it, the excitement of life is everywhere.

It is said to be an ancient village because Changshu Village did exist a long time ago, although the villagers were born, old, sick and died, and renewed, but Changshu Village never seemed to change.

At that time, the sky gradually darkened, the stars in the sky were very bright, the starlight sprinkled on Changshu Village, and the fluorescent aura was dense, although it was not a place worth competing for by cultivators, but it was indeed a good place.

The village was quiet, and when night fell, the whole village fell asleep, and only the occasional barking of a dog brought a hint of life to the village at this moment.

"It seems that if you want to spend the night, the only way to do it is to knock on the door. ”

Li Mengzhou turned around in Changshu Village, all the doors were closed, even the candles had been extinguished, and the lively night scene elsewhere obviously did not exist in Changshu Village.

When people are already sleeping, it is very inappropriate to take the liberty of disturbing, but you can't just stand stupidly, Changshu Village is not as small as a mountain and river town, the night is hot, and there are mosquito bites, if you don't knock on the door to disturb, you can only feed mosquitoes.

Because of the existence of the formation technique, Shanhe Town does seem a little special, but it does not mean that the nearby towns can be as warm in winter and cool in summer as Shanhe Town, and Changshu Village is not close to Shanhe Town, and it is even quite remote.

They were walking on a mountain road not an official road, originally planning to cross the past and reach the next town, but they all ignored the distance of the road, and it was a coincidence that they came to Changshu Village, but this was the only place nearby where they could stay, so they couldn't worry about whether it would be disturbed.

Xiao Zhinan was silent.

Li Mengzhou could only try to knock on the door alone, going door to door, and each household only knocked twice, and finally in the fifth house, someone opened the door from the inside.

What appeared in front of Li Mengzhou was a middle-aged man, who looked very strong, he looked sleepy-eyed, and looked at Li Mengzhou with squinted eyes, "Who are you, why are you knocking on my door?"

Li Mengzhou smiled politely and said, "Uncle, we are passing by, and there is no place to stay in this vicinity, so I don't know if it is convenient to bother and want to spend the night?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Zhinan, who was standing not far away, his vision was dim at night, and he didn't see it really, but he just felt that the girl seemed to be very good-looking, but he didn't have any other thoughts, hesitated a little, and said: "I have few rooms at home, my father and mother-in-law, me and my mother-in-law, there are three babies at home, I really can't vacate a room for you to live in, you can ask elsewhere." ”

The middle-aged man was polite, and slammed the door behind him.

Unable to stay overnight, Li Mengzhou smacked his lips and could only continue to knock on the door of the next house.

Changshu Village is not a small village, although it has not changed much in the changes of the years, but the area has become more and more extensive, children grow up and become married, naturally need new houses, basically built not far away, but there are also middle-aged men like the previous still live with their parents, so they can always find someone who is willing to let them spend the night.

The hard work paid off, and in the end, they managed to find a place to live.

It was an old couple who, when their children grew up, did not want to live with them, so they built a house elsewhere in Changshu Village, leaving a room in the house empty.

There was only one room, although Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan had some ideas, but they didn't want to continue knocking on the door, because they were lazy, so they made do.

It's a very simple solution.

The old couple fell asleep again, the lit candle flame was extinguished again, and in the room opposite the door, Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan were lying on the same bed, because the bed was very spacious, and there was still some distance in the middle, even if they turned over, they couldn't touch it.

Compared with Xiao Zhinan's indifference, Li Mengzhou was a little uncomfortable.

He never slept in the same bed as a girl.

Even Ye Sangyu had only slept in his bed.

Xiao Zhinan seemed to be very natural, lying on the couch and falling asleep, not caring at all that there was a teenager lying next to him.

Li Mengzhou didn't know if Xiao Zhinan was hiding it, but he really couldn't sleep.

I was at a loss and could only toss and turn, trying to find a comfortable position, but unfortunately, no matter how noisy I was, I felt very uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but sigh softly.

Xiao Zhinan's voice came from inside, "Still not sleeping?"

The voice was very soft, the distance was very close, and in the dim atmosphere, Li Mengzhou's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

He coughed lightly, turned his head to the outside, and said, "I can't sleep." ”

Xiao Zhinan asked, "What are you thinking?"

Li Mengzhou was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't think about anything. ”

There was dead silence in the room.

Xiao Zhinan's voice sounded again, "I'm looking forward to the abandoned wasteland. ”

Li Mengzhou asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Xiao Zhinan said: "Tang Wenliu is the head of the four gods of Jiang Kingdom, it is said that he is about to enter the peak in the threshold of the five realms, he is just the age of not being confused, and his cultivation is close to Dean Xue, you can see how powerful the Tang God will be, although I know that I am not qualified to stand in front of him, but I am still looking forward to being able to fight with him." ”

Li Mengzhou said with some emotion: "I really don't know what kind of person you are, are you crazy? I don't think so, but the things you do are crazy, that's Tang Shenjiang, you actually want to fight with him, this is really unbelievable." ”

Xiao Zhinan said: "Life is like climbing a mountain, although the process is very tiring, but only by constantly moving forward can you see different scenery, everyone wants to climb to the highest position, but not everyone can climb to the top of the mountain, but sometimes you are standing at the foot of the mountain, but your heart has stood on the top of the mountain, how much you can comprehend, is to see how much scenery you have to see." ”

Li Mengzhou pillowed his arm and said softly: "It is very tiring to climb the mountain alone, the body is tired, the heart is also tired, if you can find the person who goes hand in hand and climbs the mountain together, it is also a very important thing in life." I'm lonely, you're lonely, and we all seem to have to climb the mountain alone. ”

Xiao Zhinan said: "I have my goal, you also have your goal, even if the process of climbing the mountain is lonely, but the scenery is colorful, and the strong are mostly lonely, because they are far away from the descendants, no one can share the scenery of that place, if you can find someone who climbs the mountain together and sees the scenery together, it is indeed a good thing, but for me, it seems that it should not exist." ”

Li Mengzhou did not speak.

He thought about his experience when he was a child, the moment he walked out of Shuning Town, he looked at the capital, although there was an endless stream of passers-by around him, and there were times when his heart was filled, but most of them were lonely and lonely.

Because he can't share with others, and he doesn't want to share, that's what he has to do, and the more people involved, the more chaotic his mind will be, even if the top of the mountain is close in front of him, he may fall down again at a certain moment, and end up with a catastrophe that will never be recovered.

Li Mengzhou exhaled lightly, relaxed as much as possible, and joked: "Let's go climbing the mountain together?"

Xiao Zhinan said: "Get out." ”

Li Mengzhou pursed his lips and turned to face Xiao Zhinan, "Come on, sleep." ”

The sword has always been in Xiao Zhinan's hand, and she has always kept the sword in her hand, even when she is sleeping.

At this moment, the sword trembled slightly, but was pressed down by Xiao Zhinan again.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Li Mengzhou's face through a glimmer of moonlight outside the window, and her expression slowly became weird.

......

In the deepest part of Changshu Village, there is a small temple, where the aura of heaven and earth is relatively strong, and the plants grow the most luxuriantly.

Inside the dimly lit temple, a figure sat cross-legged.

The aura of heaven and earth is slowly condensing.

Suddenly, the man's eyes opened.

He stared at the village in silence.

Two unusual auruses suddenly appeared there.

He remained silent.

It seems to be silently perceiving something.

"There are actually two cultivators in Changshu Village......

"And it seems that the cultivation is not low. ”

His face became a little solemn.

He tried to see more clearly, but in that short moment, he suddenly turned pale like a lightning strike, and when he got up, he swept towards the mountains and forests.

And in the old couple's house, Li Mengzhou opened his eyes, looked out the window, and said softly: "Did you notice it?"

Xiao Zhinan had already sat up, holding the sword in his hand, and said, "It seems that there is something to pass the time." ”

Li Mengzhou stretched and said, "It depends on whether the other party is qualified enough to let you draw your sword." ”
