"Thank you so much, uncle. Hearing this, Xie Chen bowed slightly and happily boarded the boat.

The old man nodded with a smile, and gently shook the oar-pole boat in his hand to slowly leave the shore.

As the sun sets, the surface of the river is sprinkled with golden scales, and the water is sparkling and shining. But Xie Chen found that after the boat went out of the shore, it did not go to the other side, but went straight down the river and went straight to the west.

"Uncle, I'm here to go to Lingshan. But I don't know where the old man is going?" Xie Chen frowned slightly, turned around and asked.

The old man smiled and swayed, and said lightly: "Young people don't have to be anxious, the old man will send you to Lingshan." ”

"Oh, isn't Lingshan on the other side?" Xie Chen said in surprise.

"Oh, do you think that Lingshan is on the other side?" the old man smiled and said in Xie Chen's tone.

"Then this side of the shore is ......"

The old man smiled, "The river is the river on the edge of the sky, and the shore you see is vain." The river may seem no more than two miles wide, but if you do cross it out of thin air, you will find that it is endless. If you cross to Baitou, I am afraid that you will not be able to reach the other side. ”

"There is such a thing?!" Xie Chen looked at the opposite bank in amazement, the green mountains and green waters were extremely real in his eyes, could it all be illusory?

In the dantian, Jian Jiu said in a deep voice: "This old man is right, there is no end to the sky above the continent. Presumably this is the edge of the continent. The edge of the continent is surrounded by the power of space, and if you enter, it is endless, and only the strong who control the power of space can break it. ”

Speaking of this, Jian Jiu smiled and said, "But I said, why is it engraved on the stone tablet to be in awe. If you cross the river directly in the air without fear, I am afraid that you will never be able to enter the Spirit Mountain. ”

Xie Chen was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect that there would be such a thing here.

Just when Xie Chen was secretly sighing, the old man who rocked the boat suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know if the young man is going to Lingshan." What's going on?"

Xie Chen smiled: "I have a brother, who is from Lingshan. I wonder if my predecessors can recognize the emptiness?"

By now, Xie Chen has changed to an old man as a senior. Although neither he nor Jian Jiu felt any spiritual power fluctuations on the old man's body. But just by the other party's bearing and words, Xie Chen is enough to call himself a junior.

"Is it empty? The old man had some impressions of the little fellow. The old man nodded, a smile appeared in his eyes, as if he was reminiscing.

After a while, the old man spoke again and said, "It's been more than four years, and the old man remembers to leave Lingshan with a few little guys." The little bald head stood on the bow of the ship and shouted, claiming that he would make a name for himself in the Central Plains and leave a name in history. At that time, it was full of pride, and it was interesting......"

Xie Chen smiled slightly, and seemed to be able to imagine what it was like to stand on the bow of the boat and point out the country when he first came out of Lingshan. I haven't seen him for three years, and I don't know what he has become.

The old man smiled and continued: "More than a year ago. He's back. The strength has not improved much, but the amount of alcohol is much larger. Along the way, he drank and told me about the Central Plains. ”

I asked him. Are you famous? He didn't answer, he just drank. I asked him again, "Look at the way you look, did you meet an opponent?" and he laughed. Then drunkenly said that he had not only met an opponent, but also an opponent that he might not be able to surpass in his lifetime. ”

"An opponent who can't be surpassed in a lifetime?" Xie Chen raised his eyebrows. I couldn't help but ask.

The old man nodded, twisted his beard and said, "Yes...... He smiled and said to me, fortunately, his opponents are his best brothers, although it is likely that he will not be able to surpass them in his lifetime, but he is still happy! Because it is his brother! I still remember the name he pronounced, it seems to be Xie Chen......

Opponents, brothers, ....... Suddenly hearing his name, Xie Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and then a warm current surged in his heart. I didn't expect this kid to be the same as that Yu Changfeng, and he regarded himself as a goal to surpass......

Seeing Xie Chen smile, the old man seemed to think of something, and asked with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, you are Xie Chen, right?"

Xie Chen nodded with a smile and said, "The seniors are wise, and the juniors are Xie Chen." ”

"Hehe, what kind of predecessor am I, just a ferryman on this river. The old man smiled faintly, and then said: "I've heard a lot of your stories from the little bald head, I'm old, and I haven't been to the Central Plains." If I can see a young talent like you today, I will be old and decayed......

Xie Chen bowed slightly again, and even said, "Pass the award".

At this moment, it is the sunset in the west mountain, the moon rises, the river flows slowly, and it is quiet.

After being silent for a long time, Xie Chen asked lightly: "Senior, I heard my predecessor singing on the river on the shore, and the artistic conception in the song is far-reaching, but this song was composed by my predecessor?"

"Hehe, how can I have that kind of ability?" The old man had already let go of the rod and let the boat go downstream, shook his head with a smile and said: "This song is from Lingshan, and the old man is just learning to talk about it as a pastime." ”

Xie Chen nodded and said with emotion: "Lingshan is worthy of being a holy place for Buddhism, every word and song is a state of mind, and every word and every sentence is written." It seems that the younger generation still has a lot to learn......"

Under the moonlight, the old man looked at Xie Chen with a smile and nodded slightly, and said slowly after a long time: "The young man can have such a state of mind as you, but it is really rare. Why don't you sacrifice your ugliness and sing a song for the young man?"

"But I don't dare to ask for it. ”

The old man nodded and smiled, looked at the bright moon in the sky, pondered for a moment, and groaned slowly.

"The mountains and rivers are dusty. And in the world, the dust in the dust, the flesh and blood, and the shadows. If it weren't for the wisdom of the superiors, there would be no heart......

The singing sounds majestic at first glance, but it is ethereal when you smell it, and the deep meaning is more like a century-old alcohol, with an endless aftertaste.

Listening to this, Xie Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and unconsciously entered a state of forgetting about things and me.

After he woke up, the first realization in the true sense was when the natal spirit fused, and he embodied the dust to perceive hope.

The second time was on the top of the Eagle Sorrow Stream, and he felt the withering glory of life with the heart of Nirvana. After the thunder punishment city, after a hundred vicissitudes of life, I realized the heart of no regrets.

And this song by the old man. It seems to connect all his perceptions in an instant, broken, crushed, and re-integrated......

Jian Jiu in the dantian didn't speak, just listened quietly, and smiled from time to time. He didn't bother Xie Chen, who seemed to be asleep, but sighed lightly, this kid's luck is really not ordinary......

In the early morning, the mist on the river is rising. Xie Chen slowly opened his eyes, a big dream seemed to dispel all the fatigue of the past few days, and the spirit in his perception seemed to be much more stable than before.

stretched out a long waist, and saw the old man rocking the boat looking at him with a smile. Xie Chen couldn't help but smile shyly, "Forgive me, senior, I fell asleep last night for some reason......

The old man shook his eyebrows and smiled: "It's okay, it's normal for young people to be sleepy." Young man, look, there is Lingshan in front of you. ”

Xie Chen was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look. Sure enough, I saw a thousand-meter-high mountain standing majestically in the downstream direction, and the water of the Pranya River split into two ways in front of the high mountain and passed around the mountain.

Where the water divides at the foot of the mountain. A mountain gate with a golden top and red wall is particularly eye-catching, and two natural characters are written on the plaque above the mountain gate, "Lingshan".

The pole was gently rocked, and the boat docked.

After landing on the shore, Xie Chen turned around and bowed slightly to the old man. Said sincerely: "Thank you seniors for sending you all the way, I wonder if the juniors are lucky enough to learn the names of their predecessors?"

The old man smiled and waved his hand, "I was originally a ferryman on the Praruo River. I have long forgotten my name, so the young man will call me the ferryman. ”

In this way, Xie Chen thanked the ferryman for sending him off. Xie Chen bowed again. When I looked up, I saw the boat flying away, and the sound of Lang Lang singing was floating on the river.

"What a strange person...... Xie Chen looked at the boat that was drifting away and touched his nose.

Hmph, how much more is it than a strange person? He has done you a great favor! Jian Jiu was slandering in his heart, but he suddenly smiled and said, "Hehe, Lord Sword, your friend is here!"

"Friend?" Xie Chen was slightly stunned.

Just before Xie Chen could react, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps in the distance behind him.

"Boss, you miss me!" Immediately afterwards, Xie Chen saw a bald boy running out from within the tall mountain gate from a distance!

"Empty!" Xie Chen's eyes lit up, and he also ran towards the mountain gate with an exclamation!

Both of them grabbed each other's arms at the same time, and after the two teenagers looked at each other for a long time, they suddenly laughed out loud at the same time!

Three years have passed, and the appearance of the former teenager is still faintly visible. Looking at each other's more and more mature faces, the two had mixed feelings, and they didn't know where to start.

"Sora, how did you know I was coming?!"

Kongkong laughed and said, "The news of the Heavenly Blade Academy has arrived a long time ago, but why did you only arrive now?

Xie Chen smiled and shook his head, "What can I do?

"Haha, that's a good point! Boss, you really haven't changed at all!" Kongkong laughed loudly, and when he saw Xie Chen again, his heart suddenly rose with pride.

"Boss, follow me up the mountain for a drink!" After laughing, he pulled Xie Chen around and strode towards the mountain gate.

As soon as he entered the mountain gate, Xie Chen found that there was still a cave in the Lingshan Mountain. Turning a mountain beam, the eyes suddenly opened up, at the foot of the thousand-meter-high giant mountain, pavilions and pavilions are stacked on top of each other, built on the mountain, just like a huge city without city walls.

On the streets, people come and go, bustling. A large road in the center leads to the foot of the mountain, which is connected to the steps of the mountain and submerged into the verdant, and I don't know where it leads.

"The bottom of the mountain is the settlement of our people, how about it, it's not worse than the city in the Central Plains, right?"

Xie Chen nodded slightly, and as he walked, he had already keenly noticed that almost all of the people around him were ordinary people without natal spirits.

Presumably, this should be the place where the clansmen who do not have a natal spirit in the Spirit Mountain live. And the true heritage of Lingshan should still be on the high mountains farther away. (To be continued......)
