The night on the mountain is very quiet, except for the insect chirping that will sound from time to time, there is no sound, perhaps because of a heavy rain just now, the night of Lianzhu Mountain, very bright, above the sky, all the dark clouds dissipated, countless stars are incomparably bright, the bright moon that is like a jade plate, hanging high in the night sky, becoming the only light that illuminates the mountain.

Lin Xiuyuan was alone, sitting on the threshold outside the mountain temple, he looked at the moon quietly, silently, silent for a long time, Xu Yuanyou didn't know when he came to his side, and his right hand was still holding him with a wine gourd that had never fallen at any time.

He didn't say much, but sat next to Lin Xiuyuan, then followed his gaze, looked at the moon in the sky, and then poured himself a sip of wine, and said softly:

"The people of today do not see the ancient times and the moon, but this month used to shine on the ancients."

Lin Xiuyuan has long been accustomed to the strange behavior of this elegant and dashing Taoist priest, such as being a Taoist priest, but he loves to drink, and he is obviously a Taoist lineage, but he has a talent that only Confucianism has.

He didn't have so much poetry, some were just a lingering faint melancholy, so in the face of Xu Yuanyou's words, he didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that Lin Xiuyuan didn't react, Xu Yuanyou just smiled and said:

"Want to drink?"

Lin Xiuyuan frowned, seemed to be a little hesitant, and finally nodded again, Xu Yuanyou handed him the wine jug, after Lin Xiuyuan took it, he poured it without hesitation, but he almost choked out, the wine in this guy's wine jug is indeed a little strong.

Xu Yuanyou laughed:

"The young man knows how to drink, and he knows the taste of sorrow."

Lin Xiuyuan was puzzled:

"What do you want to say?"

Xu Yuanyou said softly:

"You are sitting here and not cultivating, because you have thoughts in your heart, you have thoughts, and since you have thoughts, you naturally have a feeling of sorrow."

Lin Xiuyuan was silent, but Xu Yuanyou didn't want to let him go, but asked:

"Who are you missing?"

After Lin Xiuyuan thought about it, before he could speak, Xu Yuanyou interrupted:

"Stop, whether it's your master or your parents, don't say these old things, besides, is there anyone else?"

Lin Xiuyuan testified, and then subconsciously put his hand on his chest, right there, there was something that a person gave him before leaving, for so many days, it has been stored by him closely, and he has never left his body for a moment.

He smiled slightly bitterly, somewhat disappointed, and couldn't help but say in a low voice:

"Yes, yes, but she doesn't necessarily miss me."

Xu Yuanyou rolled his eyes and said:

"So what?"

Lin Xiuyuan looked at him with some astonishment, but Xu Yuanyou didn't have a good breath and said:

"If you miss others, you must miss you, where is the bullshit truth."

Xu Yuanyou seemed to hate iron and steel, and reprimanded Lin Xiuyuan:

"You have to remember that everyone is independent, they should have their own thoughts, who you like and who you don't like, it's all your business, it's not about anyone else, as for whether she likes you, or whether she needs you, it's just her business, and it has nothing to do with you. Do you understand? ”

Lin Xiuyuan nodded as if he didn't understand, and then poured himself another sip of wine, but the loss in his heart was much better, Lin Xiuyuan suddenly looked at the mountain temple behind him, and said in confusion:

"I once read a landscape essay, which has told that the mountain temple itself should be the place where the mountain god who guards the mountain range here is worshipped, and where there is a mountain temple, there must be a mountain god, but I can't feel the slightest aura here, and it's so dilapidated, why?"

Xu Yuanyou glanced at it casually and said slowly:

"The so-called mountain gods, is those who have made great merits in their lives or the souls left by the mountain spirits, protected by merit, do not have to suffer from the six reincarnations, you can use the aura of the mountain god and water to build your own worship of the golden body, so that the soul has to return, of course, if you want to condense the golden body and cultivate the positive fruit, you naturally need to continue to accumulate merit, benefit the mortal people, and accumulate the power of incense, which is why there is a mountain temple, and the water temple and many temples origin. You must know that if you can finally form the golden body, unify the soul, and achieve the realm of the earth and immortals, then you will really ascend to the sky in one step and get rid of the sea of suffering. ”

Xu Yuanyou looked at the mountain temple behind him and continued:

"However, there are many mountains in the world, how extensive, but they contain the aura of heaven and earth, breed spirits, and need to build mountain temples to suppress and protect them, but there are not many of them, so the construction of temples in many mountains and rivers is almost predetermined, and the deciders are the supreme beings of the four veins. Strictly speaking, the division of labor of the four veins is different, and the management of the land of the mountain gods and the spirits of the water is the scope of my Dao Gate. ”

"This Lianzhu Mountain used to be one of the immortal mountains that needed to be guarded, so there would be a mountain temple, but this temple was implicated because of some things hundreds of years ago, so it would fall, not only that, but even this immortal mountain withered because of this."

Lin Xiuyuan was somewhat curious:

"What is it that would implicate the destruction of an immortal mountain?"

Xu Yuanyou hesitated slightly, looked at Lin Xiuyuan, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"The matter of implication is related to the line of martial arts."

Lin Xiuyuan's heart sank slightly, and he didn't speak, Xu Yuanyou continued:

"After the Venerable Martial Cultivator disbanded the army, it had a great impact on the land of Kyushu, which involved many crises, and I can't say anything specific, but what I can tell you is that this crisis has affected the entire Kyushu, and it has also affected all the people in the four veins. Therefore, hundreds of years ago, the remaining Venerables of the Three Pulses, who had searched for many solutions to no avail, for the sake of the tens of millions of Li people in the land of Kyushu, had two different voices on the future direction of the Martial Cultivation Lineage. ”

"The suggestions put forward by one of the people were not very friendly to the Wuxiu line, which led to a huge conflict between the Wuxiu lineage, which was ultimately widely implicated, and even almost caused a huge civil war between the four lineages. During that time, there were many forces that could not be involved, but fortunately, they were stopped later, otherwise I am afraid that the current Kyushu will not be so beautiful. ”

When Xu Yuanyou said this, he sighed slightly, pointed to the mountain temple behind him and said:

"The original owner of the mountain temple was born in Wu Xiu, even if he achieved the position of the mountain god, he still favored the Wu Xiu line, so he was also involved in the turmoil, so there was such an ending."

Lin Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, and then said slowly:

"Among the people who were unfriendly to Wu Xiu back then, there was your Dao Sect lineage."

After Xu Yuanyou was silent for a while, he nodded slowly and said:

"I won't hide it from you, the person who made an unfriendly suggestion to Wu Xiu that day was my master respected his old man, but that was just his meaning, not my intention, and I didn't agree with his thoughts on this matter."

Lin Xiuyuan nodded and said:

"I believe you in this, otherwise, the master will not let you be my protector."

Xu Yuanyou smiled slightly, Lin Xiuyuan looked at the dilapidated mountain temple behind him, and after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked in, and then in the somewhat surprised eyes of Duan Yunhai and the four of them, he stood in front of the statue that no longer had any aura, and solemnly hugged his fists and made three big salutes.

Then without saying a word, he walked out of the mountain temple again, his strange behavior made Duan Yunhai and the four of them a little incomprehensible, and they were inexplicably nervous.

But no one saw that after Lin Xiuyuan finished saluting, a faint light flashed in the eyes of the slightly broken statue.

There was nothing to say all night, and when it was early the next morning, Lin Xiuyuan stood in front of the mountain temple, Duan Yunhai and the four of them were already ready to go, except for Duan Yunhai, the other three were very excited, obviously looking forward to the trip to the wonderful mountain.

Lin Xiuyuan didn't talk nonsense, he still opened the way with Xu Yuanyou, everyone climbed the mountain, and then went down the mountain road to the wonderful mountain not far away.

Wonderful Mountain is located in the west of Lianzhu Mountain, separated from Lianzhu Mountain for only a few miles, the mountains are connected, but it is not a situation of multiple peaks, but a single peak, towering into the sky. Lianzhu Mountain is surrounded by him on three sides, and from a distance, it looks like a group of children surrounding their own adults, so the two sides are also called Zimu Peak.

Lin Xiuyuan and his entourage went down the mountain from Lianzhu Mountain, and arrived at the foot of the Wonderful Mountain, he looked up at this towering peak into the clouds, just standing at the foot of the mountain, he could feel the rich aura fluctuations.

It is worthy of being a famous immortal mountain in Kyushu, and Lin Xiuyuan is extremely emotional in his heart.

He didn't think too much about it, and led the people to prepare to climb the mountain, but they had only just started from the foot of the mountain, and they had not yet walked for less than a mile before they were stopped and had to stop.

Lin Xiuyuan looked at the four people who appeared in front of him, two men and two women, the woman was enchanting and charming, but the man looked at Lin Xiuyuan and his group of five people, his eyes were full of ill intentions.

Lin Xiuyuan's face was flat, he looked at the few people who were blocking the way, and frowned:

"Something?"

One of the two men stepped forward, his face playful:

"This mountain is not open to the public today, and those who want to climb the mountain can go back."

Lin Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Yuanyou and asked:

"Is there anyone else in charge of this wonderful mountain?"

Xu Yuanyou looked at the man and said with a smile:

"Although Wonderful Mountain is an important place in the Immortal Mountain, it is a special place, and no one has jurisdiction over it, and there is only one mountain god guarding it."

Lin Xiuyuan nodded suddenly, then looked at the man, and said expressionlessly:

"In that case, why are you stopping us from going up the mountain?"

The man said proudly:

"Today, the Wonderful Mountain is occupied by my Spirit Ruins Sect, and the rest of the people who have nothing to do with it are not allowed to go up the mountain."

Speaking of this, he showed a strange smile and said quietly:

"Of course, if you insist on going up the mountain, then you can only pay the toll first, one person is two Tai Sui silver coins, and there are five of you in total, which is ten Tai Sui silver coins."

When Xu Yuanyou heard this, his eyes widened and he said:

"My good man, I really dare to speak, and I will ask for five Tai Sui silver coins when I come up."

Lin Xiuyuan's face was still flat, but there was already some coldness in his eyes, and he said indifferently:

"What if I don't give?"
