The choice of this place of cultivation was actually made by Meng Xiuyuan after some consideration.

Originally, the first thought that popped into his mind was to go to the Immortal Changchun Valley in Dali.

After all, the heaven and earth there have the strongest spiritual energy, and there are still Qiao Sanhuai and his wife and many villagers living there, which is very lively.

If Meng Xiuyuan chooses to cultivate there, it is not only extremely efficient, but also more convenient in life.

But after thinking about it again, he felt that this matter might not be appropriate.

In the "inner study" of the Xixia Palace, in just a few hours, he absorbed half of the spiritual qi in the vicinity.

It's amazingly efficient.

Although there is a "Immortal Changchun Spring" in the Immortal Changchun Valley, which continuously escapes the spiritual energy, after all, it is the world of the end of the law, and it is not endless.

If Meng Xiuyuan practiced wantonly in it and inhaled all the pure spirit qi into his body, he didn't know if it would have an impact on the ecology of the valley.

He didn't know where the limit was for the first time he practiced this kung fu, so it was difficult to determine for a while.

After thinking about it again, Meng Xiuyuan still decided to be on the safe side, and first went to the Kunlun Green Valley to cultivate for a period of time.

After all, there was no one in the valley, so he drained the aura of the entire valley, and at most he suffered the apes in the valley, and he couldn't eat the sweet and delicious fruits in the future.

With his mind set, Meng Xiuyuan immediately hurried with all his might.

The Western Xia Kingdom is located in the northwest, three or four thousand miles away from the Kunlun Green Valley, during which the mountains are towering and the snow is long.

Meng Xiu made light luck, and rushed from the wilderness all the way, and did not detour every time he encountered mountains and rivers.

Occasionally, passers-by happened to encounter it, and they only saw a green shadow floating slowly on the snowfield, like the wind blowing leaves, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

With his memory, Meng Xiuyuan successfully found the Kunlun Green Valley, which had been absent for several years, climbed over the mountain and landed steadily, looking at it, everything was still the way he remembered.

Emerald green grass, flowers, clear streams and waterfalls, fresh fruit hanging branches.

The only difference is that Meng Xiuyuan at this time is already quite sensitive to the pure spirit qi of heaven and earth.

As soon as he entered the valley, he felt the aura escaping from the air, and he only inhaled gently, and he also felt that the whole person was comfortable physically and mentally.

I picked a wild fruit and took two bites, and the sweet juice flowed into my abdomen, turning into a faint warmth and circulating in my limbs. Taste it carefully, this fruit also contains a lot of aura.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile on his face.

I just felt like a traveler in the desert, and suddenly saw a sparkling lake in front of me.

……

In the days to come, Meng Xiuyuan devoted himself to cultivation.

He was used to such a life of seclusion and asceticism, but he didn't feel lonely and lonely.

On the contrary, the changes brought about by absorbing the Qing Ling Qi every day made Meng Xiuyuan's heart very full and happy, and he unconsciously immersed himself in it.

As the sun rises and sets, time passes quietly, but he doesn't notice it.

For so many months, Meng Xiuyuan only felt that he had gained a lot, and his whole body, regardless of essence, qi, and spirit, had made great progress.

Among them, the cultivation of qi is the most direct, and the true qi of the Northern Darkness, which integrates the aura of heaven and earth, not only has the total amount increased a lot, but the nature is very different.

It's like turning from clear water to spirit, and there is no big difference on the face, but the power is by no means the same.

The changes were so great that Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but think about whether he had broken away from the category of "true qi" and should change his name.

As for his progress in refining his body, it was equally obvious.

Originally, after the previous integration of "Yijin Jing", Meng Xiuyuan's "Fitness Technique" has made leaps and bounds. Furthermore, the efficiency of refining the true qi in the body with the "Body Strengthening Technique" is closely related to the quality of the true qi.

Meng Xiuyuan was full of true qi at this time, which was full of the pure spirit of heaven and earth, which was the most nourishing and conducive to the growth of living beings.

The flowers and plants in full bloom in the study room in Naxixia, and the undefeated scenery of the four seasons in this Kunlun Green Valley are all proof.

The two phases were superimposed, and Meng Xiuyuan had endured months of exercise, and the muscles and bones and meridians in his body seemed to have grown all over again.

In his spare time, Meng Xiuyuan once proclaimed his true qi and tested his physical strength at the moment. As a result, it is almost completely equal to the state that the original true qi can achieve.

Jumping a few feet and opening mountains and rocks with bare hands is the norm.

Among the three, only the cultivation status of the "Divine Dao" was the most complicated, and it also surprised Meng Xiuyuan the most.

The reason why he said this is that he can't help but mention the "martial arts obstacles" he encountered when he integrated the three divine skills of the Carefree School:

Suddenly, there was a blank in front of him, and many difficult questions from his past and present lives suddenly emerged from his heart, questioning and cutting straight to his heart.

Just like when he was in the Western Xia Imperial Palace, to this day, whenever he practiced to the deepest level, such a situation occasionally appeared, and it was still not completely resolved.

That's not entirely bad, though. It is even said that it is a great thing.

Because of the unusual madness, Meng Xiuyuan's breath was stable and undamaged when he encountered this situation.

And more importantly, every time the illusion in his heart appeared, it gave Meng Xiuyuan a chance to face his heart. After some thought, no matter whether he finally came to a conclusion or not, he could also get out of the illusion by reciting the "Shangqing Huangting Exterior Sutra".

After so many times, Meng Xiuyuan saw many problems in his heart, and his heart became much firmer.

At least, every time he encountered the illusion in his heart now, he gradually couldn't hear the questioning voices of Xiao Feng and Wu Yazi.

Later, Meng Xiuyuan thought about it carefully, and realized that in this process, he not only relied on the "Shangqing Huangting Exterior Scene Sutra" to refine his gods, but also was refined by this illusion again and again.

It's not a momentary enlightenment, but a slow grinding like a long stream of water.

At this moment, looking back, Meng Xiuyuan only felt that all this seemed to be deliberately designed, and the environmental test of the world's clarity and clarity was part of this kung fu.

It's just that when Xiaoyaozi took the book back then, he took one less copy of the "Shangqing Huangting Exterior Scene Sutra", so when he was tempered by the illusion, he couldn't take the initiative to get out, but he only regarded it as a difficulty that must be passed through in the practice of martial arts, and according to the situation of other factions in the rivers and lakes, he was classified as a "martial arts obstacle".

Of course, this kind of speculation has been too old to confirm its authenticity.

But in any case, Meng Xiuyuan really benefited from it, and in just a few months, he has been different from the inside out.

……

On this day, Meng Xiuyuan got up early in the morning, and did not sit and practice qi as usual, but wandered leisurely in the valley.

Roast a large fish and give it to the apes in the valley, bathe under the waterfall, and take a closer look at the scenery in the valley.

After all this was done, Meng Xiuyuan packed up his things and got up and went out of the valley.

The reason why his practice has ended here is not that he is in a hurry to do something, or that he is tired and lonely.

The key reason is that in just a few months, the heaven and earth aura in Kunlun Green Valley, which was not too rich, has been absorbed by Meng Xiuyuan.

According to Meng Xiuyuan's estimate, even if he absorbed the remaining half of the spiritual energy, there would be no earth-shaking entry, but it would cause the grass and trees in this green valley to wither and cut off spirituality.

He had lived here for seven or eight years in this life, and he had relied on the apes of those valleys as companions, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

After consideration, he only said that it was cheap and could not be taken by himself, so he simply gave up and chose to leave a paradise for the apes in this valley.

In this way, Meng Xiuyuan took one last look at the beautiful green valley, and then flew away and climbed out of the mountain.

With his martial arts at this time, the cliff was not much different from a small mound, and it didn't take long to climb over the high mountain that reached into the sky and fall back to the flat ground.

However, Meng Xiuyuan was not in a hurry to leave, but looked in the direction of the green valley and stood still for a while.

Thinking back to Yitian and Tianlong, his martial arts achievements are inseparable from the help of this Kunlun Green Valley. And nearly half of the time after he crossed over was also spent in this valley.

Thinking that if he left today, he would never come here again in the future, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

After a while, he arched his hand towards the mountain and waterfall, and then turned away.

……

Coming out of Kunlun Cui Valley, Meng Xiuyuan went all the way south, going straight to the immortal Changchun Valley.

However, he didn't want to find another place to practice, but just wanted to meet Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao first, and accompany him and the second elder.

Meng Xiuyuan knew that the time he had left in this world was probably not much, and before leaving, he naturally had to arrange the second elder properly.

Before he hurried to participate in the Shaolin Conference, he put Qiao Sanhuai and his wife in the Immortal Changchun Valley and left, and he didn't have time to ask them if they were used to living here.

No, as soon as he entered the territory of Dali, he encountered an accident.

One day, Meng Xiuyuan passed by a small town inn on the road, thinking about stopping to rest for a while, and replenishing the water and dry food he had with him.

But as soon as he entered the gate, he was recognized.

"Hero! Engong! How could you be ...... here?"

The man's voice was so loud that everyone in the inn couldn't help but look at him. But he didn't care at all, and while shouting, he rushed to Meng Xiuyuan's side and immediately bowed and saluted.

"Ah...... You're Huang Gongzi, right? ”

Meng Xiu looked for prestige and saw that it was a white young man with a very familiar face.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, I remembered that it turned out to be the son of the Bianliang official eunuch who was tied back by Li Qingluo in Mantuo Villa.

Huang Gongzi was very happy to see that Meng Xiuyuan still remembered him, smiled and bowed to Meng Xiuyuan again, and then said:

"Engong has a good memory, and he is under Huang Jinyu.

In the Mantuo Villa that day, I considered saving my life by saving my father......"

As he spoke, a plainly dressed beautiful woman walked behind him, holding two dolls, a man and a woman, who were also looking towards Meng Xiuyuan very decently, and her gestures were quite noble.

Seeing this, Huang Gongzi enthusiastically introduced his wife and children to Meng Xiuyuan, and at the same time dragged Meng Xiuyuan's sleeve, saying that he wanted to invite him to dinner, so as to thank him for his kindness in saving him before.

Meng Xiuyuan wanted to refuse, but this Huang Gongzi refused to give up, and even his wife and children also invited him. Seeing this situation, Meng Xiuyuan only felt that it was difficult to resist the hospitality, so he stayed.

This Huang Gongzi saw that Meng Xiuyuan was relieved, and he looked very excited, and immediately hurriedly asked the innkeeper to open a clean room upstairs, and ordered a lot of dishes, so that the store could send them after they were ready.

"Little shop in the wilderness, limited conditions.

If you neglect Engong, please don't blame ......"

In front of the dining table in the room, this Huang Gongzi said a word to Meng Xiuyuan very politely, and then lifted the wine jug and poured a full wine glass for Meng Xiuyuan.

And the wife next to him was not idle, she was also smiling, busy helping Meng Xiuyuan pick up vegetables and wait.

Huang Gongzi was polite...... If my guess is correct, Childe is in trouble, right? ”

Meng Xiuyuan was not the first day to come out to explore the rivers and lakes, and seeing Huang Jinyu's flattering attitude, he knew that the other party should have something to ask for.

When this Huang Gongzi heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said to Meng Xiuyuan honestly:

"Meng Daxia has good eyesight, I have indeed suffered recently.

Humble Jing and I fled all the way from the Great Song Dynasty to Dali, thinking of buying a piece of land here and taking root here to live here in the future.

How do you think that when you meet a robber on the road, the little gold and silver you have with you is called robbery......"

He then babbled a lot, probably describing where he met the robbers, how vicious those robbers were, and how he escaped with his wife and children in danger.

All in all, the meaning of the words is to ask Meng Xiuyuan, a "compassionate hero", to help him again and recover the lost belongings.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, although he felt that Huang Gongzi's words were exaggerated, he didn't think that his intentions were wrong. After all, in such a situation, it is human nature to try all means to find a place to return home.

For Meng Xiuyuan, this kind of thing was just a gesture, so he didn't shirk it, and nodded and responded to the matter. Huang Gongzi was overjoyed when he saw this, and led his wife and children to kneel down and thank Meng Xiuyuan immediately.

Meng Xiuyuan looked at his appearance, and his heart became more and more puzzled, first helped his family up, and then said:

"Huang Gongzi, it's not difficult for me to help you with this.

It's just that I don't know something, and I want to ask, so please don't blame me for being presumptuous. ”

"No, no! Engong, please ask, I know everything in the next, and I have no end to it! Huang Gongzi hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Hmm...... I remember that last time Huang Gongzi said that Ling Zun was an official in Bianliang, and his official position was not small.

Why did the son want to drag his family to settle in Dali, but he didn't even have a housekeeper and servant by his side? ”

Huang Gongzi's face darkened when he heard this, obviously he was poked in the sore spot, but in the face of Meng Xiuyuan, he didn't dare to hide it, but said one by one:

"Don't hide it, my family has indeed undergone a sudden change recently.

This matter has to start with the death of the Empress Dowager a few months ago......"

It turned out that a few days ago, the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty died, and the situation in the court changed abruptly.

The Huang family suddenly declined because of this, and this Huang Gongzi had to leave the capital and drag his family to find another place to make a living.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he was still a little puzzled, and asked out loud

"Even so, why didn't Gongzi stay in the Great Song Dynasty.

Do you have to travel thousands of miles to come to this remote place in Dali? ”

Huang Gongzi was also a little surprised when he heard this, and asked Meng Xiuyuan:

"Don't you know that the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State are at war.

The people in the Song Kingdom are panicking, since I have no place to stand there, it is better to come to Dali, so as to avoid the military disaster. ”

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this: "Song Liao has started a war......"

Huang Gongzi nodded when he heard this, and said with resentment:

"Hmph, the little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is reckless, and he can't know how to make good use of people, and he can't judge the situation.

With these generals of the Great Song Dynasty, how can they defeat the Liao State?

I look at this big song, it must be over! ”
