Since the Taoist said that sentence to Li Yu, Li Yu gradually regained his clarity and no longer continued to indulge in sadness.

He walked out of the courtyard and looked at the barren mountains in front of him, the main mountain range of Hongquan Mountain had been divided, and those ravines and rocks all showed the tragedy of the war at that time, the fields and houses were also destroyed, broken, and the only ones that remained were only broken walls, full of desolation. He stared blankly ahead outside the house, a little distracted.

Looking at the picture in front of him, Li Yu felt a little sad and cold in his heart.

The land, which was looking after him, was a little unbearable, so he came out and said to him, "Son. Your grandma has a spirit in the sky, and she won't want to see you like this. ”

Li Yu turned his head and looked at the old man who appeared in front of him at some point, as if he had seen a relative, his eyes were red, and tears couldn't stop flowing, and said, "I miss my grandma so much, I really want to go back to the beginning." ”

The land squatted down, hugged him in his arms, stroked his head, and said kindly and lovingly, "Don't worry, your grandma will not leave you, from now on, no matter where you go, she will be by your side." ”

After Li Yu heard this, he couldn't help but hug the land and cry, this is the real sadness in his heart after experiencing the death of his grandmother in reality. The land didn't bother Li Yu to cry, he understood that only by letting Li Yu cry first and venting it could he completely let go of the knot in his heart.

After a long time, he finally stopped crying, and the land said, "You have to go and pack up your things, this place is no longer suitable for you to stay, the outside is your world." ”

The words of the land actually have another deep meaning, but Li Yu didn't think about it so much, he just thought that there was indeed no need to continue to stay here, since he promised Grandma to live well, then he couldn't let her down again.

When the Taoist came back, he saw this picture, Li Yu carefully cleaned up in the house, put what should be put away, packed everything that should be taken away, and tried to go on the road as lightly as possible.

He didn't bother, the land came to salute, and told the story of what happened after the Taoist left just now, and then, if there was anything he wanted to say, but he didn't know how to say it, the Taoist saw it in his eyes and said, "If you have something to say, say it." ”

Only then did the land muster up the courage to say, "No matter what the immortals plan to do to Li Yu, I hope to treat him well, he is really hard." ”

The Lindao didn't say much, only replied, "Don't worry, I have my own plans." ”

After speaking, the Taoist waved his hand and let him go down.

He walked into the room, watched Li Yu stop the movements in his hands, scanned the room in a circle, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Li Yu turned around, saluted and replied, "Go over." ”

The Taoist was silent, he didn't continue to ask, but asked, "Actually, I'm still very curious, your eyes are naturally gray, can you be born with yin and yang?" ”

Yes, even if he has lived for as many years as a Taoist, he also feels new to Li Yu, a person who argues yin and yang with both eyes. In his cognition, there are almost no people who are born with the knowledge of yin and yang, and once there is, it means that his path of cultivation can be smooth sailing without hindrance. But is there really such a person in the world?

Li Yu replied, just shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but probably!" ”

The Taoist guessed that the answer would be so, and he was not too reluctant, and said with a smile, "I see." ”

The Taoist asked him again, "Then where are you going to go in the future?" ”

Li Yu replied flatly, "I don't know yet, let's take a step and see a step." ”

At the end, he turned to the Taoist and bowed, and added, "I know that you saved me, but I haven't thanked you for saving my life." Don't worry, I won't seek death easily, I promised Grandma that I would live well. I won't let down your life-saving grace to me, and I won't let your hard work with me go to waste. ”

The Taoist waved his hand to get him up, and changed the subject, "The phantom has escaped." ”

Li Yu didn't seem to expect to hear such a sentence from the other party's mouth, in his mind, even if the other party escaped, what could he do as an ordinary person?

He looked at the Taoist in confusion, and the Taoist continued, "I know, from beginning to end, you know everything that happens around you, and the golden dragon didn't deliberately block your perception when they fought with the phantom demon, and the phantom demon escaped beyond my expectation, but it was reasonable for me. ”

Li Yu said, "I understand. I don't blame you! You've helped us a lot, so I really don't blame you, I can only blame him for living too long, which should be what the people in the village often say, good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years. ”

The Taoist smiled and said, "Then are you really willing?" ”

Li Yu sighed helplessly and said, "What can I do if I am unwilling?" I can't practice! ”

"Who says you can't practice?"

These words exploded in Li Yu's consciousness like thunder, and he asked in disbelief, "You, what did you say?" ”

The Taoist smiled confidently, "I said, I can help you cultivate." ”

Li Yu is really excited now, since he was born, until now, he has not felt what it is like to be excited, getting along with his grandmother is more about warmth and warmth. Before the age of three, he lived without hope, like the walking dead, with only hope and endless pain. But now, he actually heard someone say to him that he has the possibility and hope of cultivation, which is of great significance to him who was born in a family of cultivators, although he does not want to admit his identity as a member of the Li family at this time. But that didn't stop him from looking forward to the day when he could embark on the path of cultivation!

Excitement was excitement, but he quickly calmed down, and after that, he asked the questioner, "Dare to ask the immortals, do you know that I don't have a heavenly aperture?" ”

"Of course, I'm not blind."

Li Yu didn't understand it anymore, and asked, "Then why are you so good to me?" Are you still willing to help me practice?. ”

The Taoist saw Li Yu's changes in his eyes, and felt that he was very interesting more and more, and couldn't help but laugh, "Can't you see it?" I want to take you as a disciple! I thought that when I talked about this, you would beg me to accept you, but I didn't expect you to be just excited for a while, and suddenly you returned to your previous calm appearance, which is boring! ”

Li Yu still didn't understand, and still asked, "But if you want to accept disciples, there's no need to accept me as a difficult person to cultivate!" Since you know that I have no heavenly aperture congenitally, what does it mean to have no heavenly aperture, I believe you know better than me, I am afraid that you will not gain more than you gain by accepting me. Maybe my talent is good, but compared with no heavenly acumen, all talents are just duckweed on the water, which looks good, but in fact, it is simply a grass without roots, and it can't grow into a towering tree. ”

The Taoist still didn't care, "I know." But what others can't do doesn't mean I can't do it! ”

"But I still want a reason, or an answer."

The Taoist seemed to see Li Yu like this for the first time, and he smiled, "Why didn't you find out that you were so stubborn before?" ”

Li Yu pursed his lips embarrassedly, and without saying a word, the Taoist looked at him with a soft expression, and said slowly, "There are many reasons, but most of them are not suitable for you to know at this time." The one thing I can say is that I saw you and thought of my former friend. Is this justification okay? ”

Li Yu has been feeling the change in the other party's mentality, since the Taoist said this, his mentality has been very peaceful, without the slightest concealment, and he can see that the Taoist is sincere, at least at this moment.

"Although I really want to practice, I also know that Grandma's wish is that I can live well, and I want to live better than to practice. That's why I asked you why you took me, I know it's a little rude and arrogant, but my most precious thing at this time is only this life. ”

"You're afraid I'll misunderstand?" The Taoist asked.

Li Yu replied very cautiously, "You tell me frankly, and I should be honest with you." ”

"Then you're not afraid that I'll be angry and won't accept you?"

Li Yu replied seriously, "Don't be afraid." I know it's probably a privilege for others to be your disciple, but Grandma taught me that each of us is important, so important that we shouldn't think of ourselves as less valuable than anyone else. Whether or not you can be your disciple is a matter for the two of us, and the premise of this matter is that you are willing to accept me, and I am willing to worship you as a teacher. Both of these conditions are indispensable. ”

The Taoist didn't expect to hear these words from Li Yu, in his past years, he had heard many strange words, and also seen many strange things, but none of them could be more shocking than hearing such words in a five-year-old child in a small mountain village.

This made him wonder, what kind of person is the grandma in Li Yu's mouth?

For the first time, he had a cautious attitude towards this person and the place where this person lived. He let go of his divine sense and explored over and over again what else he hadn't noticed, but after some exploration, he gained nothing.

Perhaps, he was overthinking!

"What about you now? Would you like to be my disciple? The Taoist put away all his expressions and asked like an ancient well.

Li Yu knew what the Taoist meant, so he simply knelt down and bowed three times and bowed nine times, "Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship." ”

The Lindao people solemnly taught Li Yu, "When I entered our master with your uncle, your master taught us that everything in the world can be followed by us, only not apostate. But time changes, things change with the environment, and there are many things that can be said clearly by a rebellious word. So, I have only one request for you. Under my door, all walks are unscrupulous; Everything is worth it. ”

Li Yuying, although he didn't understand what he meant, he still remembered it word by word. And this has also become his guiding principle for dealing with the world in the future.

The Taoist took out all the things he had prepared before.

Zhang Tian looked at the things floating in front of him, there was a black and white bead that swirled, a short sword with a color like a muddy yellow mud, a red incense covered with runes, and a small nine-story pagoda with a simple and yellow body, he didn't know what he meant, so he looked at the Taoist with an inquiring face.

"This bead is a yin and yang polar bead, and it is something that the illusion demon is planning in Hongquan Mountain. It has many uses, and you will slowly understand it in the future, I will only tell you two, it is a great supplement to restore cultivation and improve cultivation, in addition, it can also drive treasures with yin and yang qi. ”

"This short sword is the Huangquan Sword of the Huangquan Sect, it has a strong Huangquan death qi, if it is injured, it will be a big drop in cultivation, and a small life will be lost."

"This incense is ecstasy incense, if you light it, the fragrance emitted can make people's souls fall into an illusion, unless you break it with advanced cultivation, you can only sink it. Of course, it can also be used together with other spells or treasures, depending on how you use them in the future! ”

"This small pagoda is the Xuanhuang Floating Temple, which can absorb all things and suck them into the small world in between. There is a small world on each layer, but how much strength it can exert depends on how strong the cultivation is and how well it is comprehended. ”

Li Yu looked at these things and asked in disbelief, "Are these for me?" ”

The Taoist looked at Li Yu like a fool and said, "Otherwise? Am I taking it out to put on a face? ”

Li Yu didn't expect to hear such words from the mouth of the Taoist at all, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the Taoist with wide eyes. In his impression, the master he worshipped, the Taoist in front of him, has always cherished words like gold, smiling and smiling, like a spring breeze, how can it seem that this is his true face.

Seeing Li Yu's expression, how could the Taoist not understand what Li Yu was thinking, and after coughing a few times, he said, "As a teacher, this is called eclectic, you don't want to be unusual." You don't know, it's very tiring to pretend to be a master, but there's no way, who told me to come out eclectic before and was bumped into by your uncle, although I was a little conflicted with him, but he was still my senior brother! I also taught me a lesson for this, I didn't beat him at the time, I could only honestly admit defeat, and from then on I had to stick to one pattern when I went out again, and I had to hold a point, and if he touched me again, he would cut me. Do you think I can not listen? But now it's different, if you run into it again, you don't know who loses and who wins! ”

Li Yu was helpless and dumbfounded, it turned out that the master he worshipped was not only not an immortal with fairy wind and bones, but also seemed to be a bit talkative!

He smiled slightly and said ashamedly, "But I don't have anything to give to Master now." ”

The Taoist said indifferently, "Originally, I didn't want it, after all, I've lived for so long, and I haven't seen anything good, but since you want to give it, I'm also curious about what you will prepare for me." If you don't have it now, then give it later. ”

"Yes. Master. ”

Li Yu simply put away everything in front of him, but the sword and the tower didn't know how to put it away for a while.

Lin Daoren was still very satisfied with watching Li Yu collect things, he was still thinking about whether Li Yu would be twisted and pinched, then this kind of character would not be fun, and he had to spend time and energy to re-cultivate or adapt to his character. Fortunately, Li Yu is not such a pretentious person, which makes him even happier, after all, even if the disciples he accepts can't joke about the world like him, it's not bad to be able to be open-minded and generous!

He saw that Zhang Tian was in trouble, so he said, "I will seal the power of this sword so that you can carry it behind your back." As for that pagoda, I will put it in your dantian, and if you have time, you can also have a good understanding of it, and when you have a heavenly aperture in the future, I will teach you the method of hiding all things, and you can collect them all in your heavenly aperture. ”

Li Yu nodded and thanked Master. Then, the Lindao man asked, "We're leaving, do you have anything else to do?" ”

Li Yu said, "I want to sprinkle Grandma's ashes into the sky." This was her last wish. ”

Then, Master Li Yu and the two of them, plus the land, came to the top of the mountain where the boundary of Hongquan Mountain had not collapsed. Li Yu held the ash altar in his hand and looked at it deeply, as if he was reluctant, but he still opened the lid, took out the ashes, and let them scatter with the wind and float into the distance.

"Grandma, Xiao Yu'er has sent you on your last ride, you have a good journey!"

The two of them watched Li Yu scatter his grandmother's ashes to the ground one by one, and they had different thoughts in their hearts. The land feels that Li Yu's life is not easy, I hope he can live a better life in the future! As for the Lindao people, they thought that from this moment on, he had really left the seemingly beautiful, but actually more dangerous path of cultivation.

If there is reluctance, there will be a time of separation.

When Li Yu finished everything, the Lindao people asked the land, "There is no mountain god here, do you want to be a mountain god?" ”

The land listened to the Taoist's question in disbelief, and said with a wry smile, "Immortals, don't make fun of the little old man, I know that my cultivation and identity are not enough to be a mountain god." ”

"The Hongquan Mountain Range here has already existed in name only, and the mountain gods in this place no longer need to have a high level of cultivation, as for the identity, I can grant it on behalf of the heavens and seal you up."

After hearing this, the land lost his mind for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at Li Yu Zai and gave him a look, which meant obviously, let the land not miss this opportunity.

"Thank you for the support of the immortals, Xiao Lao'er will definitely be a mountain god in the future, and swear to take the mountain demon as a ring, and never dare to repeat his mistakes, and never let down your support."

After speaking, the Taoist took out a golden talisman, closed his eyes and stared at the heavens to ask for his life, after a period of advice, the golden talisman in his hand turned into a streamer and flew to the sky, and then, there was a colorful glow from the sky, falling on the land, the land immediately underwent earth-shaking changes, and the cultivation gradually climbed, covered in gold, full of glow, and the expression became more solemn and peaceful.

The Taoist touched Li Yu's head and said, "Now you can rest assured!" ”

Li Yu raised his head, smiled from the bottom of his heart, looked at the Lindao people and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master"

The Taoist rubbed Li Yu's head a few times and said, "You and I, master and apprentice, don't care about this. ”

Yes. Although Li Yu didn't say it, how could the people of Lindao not see that Li Yu couldn't let go of the land in the end, so he was a god for the land, just for his apprentice, Li Yu, who could really embark on the road of cultivation without any obstacles.

When all the dust settled, the new mountain god saw a Taoist dressed in white and a gourd hanging from his waist, and a child dressed in cloth and carrying a short sword on his back to the distance.

He sincerely wished in his heart, "I must be good in the future!" ”
