Some time has passed since everyone's separation, but Wei Changming and Li Xuansheng are still in a hurry.

Spring was in full swing, and under a road surrounded by greenery, the two walked one after the other, but Wei Changming had no intention of enjoying the surrounding scenery.

"Senior brother." Wei Changming spoke breathlessly.

"Huh? What's wrong, junior brother. Li Xuansheng, who was walking in front of Wei Changming, glanced back, but did not stop.

"We've been walking for a day and a night, and we haven't arrived yet."

In addition to spending the night in a village after everyone separated, the two of them began a long journey, without stopping for a moment, and now Wei Changming is in a place where he has never been at all, and he has no time to judge the direction, and the map in his hand has long been useless.

"Not yet." Li Xuansheng turned his head. "Hold on a little longer, it's almost there."

"Senior brother, this walking is also a science, don't think about taking shortcuts, riding a mount or taking a path, so that there is less meaning of grinding." Li Xuansheng admonished Wei Changming earnestly.

"But, senior brother, why do you have to carry your package with me?" Wei Changming said helplessly.

In that resting village, Li Xuansheng was on a whim, and saw that the villagers' lives were too hard and their lives were too poor, so he suddenly spent a lot of money to buy many clothes woven by the villagers and packed them in packages, so he was warmly welcomed by the villagers, and even most of them walked to the entrance of the village to see off the two when they left.

"Ahem, this is a test given to you by my senior brother, your body is weak, and it will not hurt you to exercise more." After saying this, Li Xuansheng walked faster with a weak heart, but he felt a little embarrassed, so he still told Wei Changming the exact distance.

"Work harder, and after walking this road, you will reach the border of Momoyama."

"Okay." With a precise direction and goal, Wei Changming also mustered up his strength and walked harder.

······

After another half a day, the sun hung high overhead, and Wei Changming left beads of sweat on his forehead.

At this time, "It's here." ”

Li Xuansheng, who was walking in front, stopped, and Wei Changming also hurriedly stopped, put the luggage on the ground, and looked around.

"Senior brother, but I don't seem to see any sects."

Wei Changming was a little puzzled, there were no buildings around, some were just green grass and yellow flowers, and the road had come to an end, there was only a high mountain in front of the two of them, and the stream on the side led to the upper side of the mountain, and I don't know where it flowed.

"This is Momoyama?" Wei Changming pointed to the mountain ahead.

Just looking at this barren grass and green hills, it doesn't look like people live there.

"Of course not."

Li Xuansheng did not answer, but led Wei Changming.

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain."

The two of them walked up the moss-covered stone steps, Wei Changming almost slipped in the first step, and the stairs up the mountain were also very steep.

"Senior brother, sometimes, the difference between our success and failure lies in a person's courage, and the cultivation is only temporary, but if you lose your courage, everything will be over." Li Xuansheng walked in front and said with his back to Wei Changming.

Wei Changming looked at Li Xuansheng.

Li Xuansheng took every step very firmly, although it was not fast, but every step was very solid, and he was not worried about slipping at all.

Wei Changming was in awe, "Senior brother, I have been taught." ”

During the conversation, the two walked up the mountain.

Wei Changming looked in front of him, there was no road, lowered his head, and all he saw was the cliff. Turned around and looked back at the road behind him, under the sunlight, everything seemed so small, and the road that the two of them had walked this day had already made Wei Changming unable to see Mocheng and the village.

"So we've come so far." Wei Changming sighed.

"Yes, junior brother, if you don't try everything, how do you know?" Li Xuansheng accompanied Wei Changming to look at the road he had walked.

"The mountain looks hard to climb, but that's it." Li Xuansheng seemed to fall into memories and talked to himself.

"I was born in a small town near Momoyama, when I was 6 years old, our family was too poor to open the pot, my father worked hard to support the family, but he didn't come back for a long time, my mother heard from the old man that there was a reclusive sect around me, and my mother said to take me to try it out for the sake of survival. I enthusiastically agreed. Because I didn't know the scenery outside the town, I really wanted to see it once. ”

"We got up early that day, set out on a journey, and after a few hours, went around and around from the rooster to the sunset, to all possible places near the town, and finally came to the bottom of the mountain. Oh, it's so high. Towering into the sky. I looked up at the top of the mountain, but I couldn't see the end. I'm a little scared. Li Xuansheng smiled and continued: "At that time, I took my mother's hand and said that I didn't want to go up, but my mother said: 'Child, this is our last chance', I had to walk hard, fell down several times, and when I passed the mountain gate, I saw the green pines and cypresses on both sides of the stone steps, and took a deep breath of fresh air. Slowly my mother and I walked halfway up the mountain, looking back at the road, has been very slim, has long been unable to see the way back, only those swaying with the wind of the green pines and cypresses, looking in the distance or a tree that can not be seen at a glance, at this time I really can't walk, only feel no strength, this time my mother did not coax me, but walked forward without saying a word, I looked at the road behind me, and once again plucked up the courage and my mother to continue to climb. After a few hours, we finally reached the top of the mountain. I looked at the small sight on the ground, and I felt the same way you did. Then Li Xuansheng smiled self-deprecatingly, "But we still haven't found Momoyama." ”

······

Wei Changming just wanted to open his mouth to comfort Li Xuansheng, but Li Xuansheng suddenly stopped being sad, turned his head to look at Wei Changming, and asked with a sly expression.

"Senior brother, do you remember the stream you saw down the mountain?"

"Ah, remember, what's wrong Senior Brother?" Wei Changming suddenly did not keep up with the speed of Li Xuansheng's topic changes.

"Senior brother, aren't you curious about where the source of this creek is?"

"Huh? Where is it? ”

Li Xuansheng pointed to the cliff on the back of the mountain and said, "Take a closer look." ”

Wei Changming walked over and looked down, the clouds were shrouded in mist, and he couldn't see what it was at all, Li Xuansheng sneaked behind Wei Changming.

"Senior brother, I didn't see it—ah! Brother! What are you doing! ”

Before he finished speaking, Li Xuansheng kicked Wei Changming off the cliff.

For a while, Wei Changming's shouts echoed in the cliff.

"Ahh

Wei Changming couldn't imagine why Senior Brother Li would harm himself.

Li Xuansheng shouted towards the bottom of the mountain, "It's Momoyama." ”
