"Martial arts to raise the mind and body, cultivate and read heirlooms, this is indeed the life that many people dream of, but I didn't expect to really see it here." Zhang Lingtian sighed.

"When the Sun God Cult and those evil sects are destroyed, I will also find a place like this to live in seclusion." Lan Ling'er said enviously.

"If the country is in chaos, you can't be alone no matter where you go, and we martial arts practitioners still have to make some efforts to change the dynasty and return the people to a stable country." Lan Tian may have listened to the words of the master of the sky, and he was a little worried about the country and the people.

Early in the morning of the second day, Master Zhang Lingtian took out two silver taels to thank Old Man Yang, but he politely declined, and Old Man Yang said: "In the future, everyone has the opportunity to sit at home, and the silver must not be collected." ”

Bidding farewell to Old Man Yang and his family, everyone continued to rush west.

The sky was already bright, the sun had not yet risen, the grass by the roadside was covered with clear frost, and everyone was walking on the mountain path on horseback, and everyone felt a strong chill.

The terrain of the place where everyone walked is very different from the Central Plains, the mountains are tall but the vegetation is sparse, there are many lakes but swamps are everywhere, the road is sparsely populated, the beasts are infested, and they can only walk out of more than 100 miles every day, fortunately, there are roads that are feasible, and the road is quite smooth along the way.

On the afternoon of the third day, a high mountain appeared in front of the masters, the mountain was very large, and there was no road to go around, so they could only walk along the mountain road, but the road was very steep, so everyone had to get off the horse and lead the horse to climb up the mountain slowly.

When it was almost dark, everyone came to the mountainside, and Master Kongkong found a flat place for everyone to set up camp.

When leaving Zhongnan Mountain, Zhang Lingtian did a division of labor from setting up tents, cooking to hunting, and fetching water, Zhu Yu, Lantian and Lingshanzi were in charge of hunting, Lan Ling'er, Lingyazi, and Linghuazi were cooking, Xuyun Shitai and Yi'er, Fo'er, Xin'er, Linglinzi and Luo Lin set up tents, and the matter of taking water was completed by Master Kongkong, Zhang Lingtian and Lu Bucai.

Lingshanzi saw that the sky was getting dark, Fang tied up the horse, and asked Zhu Yu and Lan Tian to set off quickly, because it was easy to hit the prey before dark, but the three of them went down to a deep basket next to them, looking everywhere, but they couldn't see an animal, fortunately, they hit a wild donkey yesterday, and there was still half of the meat left, and it was enough to eat today, and it didn't matter if they couldn't hit the beast.

The three of them crossed a ridge again, and saw that there were seven or eight abrupt trees on the opposite hillside, with dense leaves, and it was easy to hide the birds, and before dark, it was the time for the birds to return to their nests, so Lingshanzi said: "I can't find the beasts, it's good to catch some birds and go back, let's go and have a look." ”

The three of them came to the bottom of the tree, looked up and looked closely, and sure enough, they saw a big bird playing in the tree, and not far away, there were birds flying towards this side.

The three of them picked up some stones on the ground, drove them with internal force, and threw them out according to the birds, and after a while, more than a dozen big birds had been hit, but three or four birds were hanging on the trees.

Zhu Yu lifted his breath, flew to the branch, took down the killed birds one by one, and threw them down.

Just as Zhu Yu was about to get off the tree, he inadvertently looked at the foot of the mountain, but he saw that there were eight or nine people, setting up tents on the flat place at the bottom of the mountain, as if they were going to spend the night on the spot.

Zhu Yu quietly got down from the tree and told Lingshanzi and Lan Tian what he saw.

"Needless to say, it must be those people who are secretly following us." Ling Shanzi said.

"So what are we going to do?" Zhu Yu scratched his head and said.

"Anyway, it's a mountain away, not to mention that they don't want to clash with us head-on, they won't attack us, but let's go back quickly and tell the Sky Master about the situation." Ling Shanzi said.

At this time, the blue sky had picked up the big birds that the three of them had hit, a total of fifteen, and each of the three of them grabbed five of them in their hands, lifted their breath, went down the ridge, and flew quickly according to the road they came, that is, in the opposite direction where the tent builder was.

When the three of them came to the campsite, it was just getting dark, Lan Ling'er and their meal had been cooked, and in the middle of several tents, a fire was burning, and everyone gathered around the fire, waiting for the three of them to come back to eat.

After Zhu Yu told everyone about seeing someone at the foot of the mountain next to him, Master Kongkong said: "I saw it the day before yesterday, and Paju Gobu and other people have been following us, and I didn't say anything for fear that everyone would be worried." ”

"I didn't expect that Paju Gobu would be so persistent, and for such a long time, he must follow us." The Void Cloud Master said in confusion.

"There is only one explanation for this, and that is that the Great Nether Sutra is extremely important to them, and Paju Gobu will do whatever it takes to obtain it." Master Zhang Lingtian said.

"Several masters, the monks have been following us like this, it is a threat to everyone, it is better to try to get rid of them." Blue Sky Suggestion.

"I estimate that Paju Gobu is so profound in his cultivation that his perception of everything around him is naturally extraordinary, and when he is in meditation, he can hear the sound of a distant place, which is similar to the same thing as a shadowless man hearing the speech of a person far away."

Hearing what Master Kongkong said, everyone couldn't help but be amazed, and Zhu Yu asked, "Master Kongkong, so to speak, a person can cultivate to the realm of the unity of heaven and man?" ”

"The unity of heaven and man, this is the ideal of a cultivator, people can only have some sense of heaven and earth in some aspects, heaven and earth are so complex, people cannot be synchronized with heaven and earth."

"Master Kongkong, how do people communicate with heaven and earth?" The more Lan Ling'er listened, the more confused she became.

"Gas! Through the communication of qi, people practice, what they practice is qi, and the qi in the body is guided to the outside of the body, which is to release internal force. There is also qi between heaven and earth, and changes in heaven and earth produce changes in qi, and those who have cultivated to a certain extent can feel this qi. ”

"What's the point of being able to hear people talking from a distance?" Lan Ling'er didn't seem to understand Master Kongkong's explanation.

"When people speak, the qi of the surrounding heaven and earth will flow, only in this way can others hear your voice, if it is too far, the voice is too weak, and ordinary people can't hear the sound, but there are still slight changes in the qi, and people who practice to a certain extent can feel this subtle change, this is the truth of extremely far transmission, if the speaker can inject a certain amount of power into the voice, the sound can be transmitted very far."

"Oh, I see, Master Kongkong, then you said that the Paju Gobu is at the foot of another mountain, can you hear us now?" Lan Ling'er asked.

"I don't know, if he cultivates deep enough, he can hear it, and if there is no obstacle in front of him, he can also see the scene far away."

"Master of the Sky, can we get rid of the Paju Gob's tracking?" Zhu Yu's question was very direct.

"I don't know, but can we give it a try?" Master Empty laughed.

"Master, tell me quickly, how do you try?" Lingyazi couldn't help it, and stepped forward to ask.

Master Empty whispered, "In the second half of the night, we will go quietly. ”

Everyone went back to their tents to rest, and when they arrived, Master Kongkong woke up Zhu Yu, Lan Tian, and Luo Lin, who were sleeping in the same tent, and asked the three of them to inform the others.

After a while, everyone came out of the tent, quietly packed their belongings, and then led the horses along the mountain road to the west.

Master Kongkong had already seen the celestial statue before, and calculated that the second half of the night, just when the moon was in the middle of the sky, was suitable for everyone to walk.

In the distance, the dark mountains loomed in the moonlight, and there was an unreal feeling, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, except for the occasional sound of rustling in the grass, which was the sound of hares or rats grazing grass seeds and cutting grass roots.

Worried that this trip would be discovered by the Paju Gobu and his party, everyone did not speak, but just pulled the horse forward.

After walking out for more than two hours, the moon set, the sun could not rise for a while, and it was dark all around, so everyone had to choose a leeward col, burn a fire, bake the fire and rest, and wait for the dawn.

"In seven days, you can reach Kunlun Mountain, and from Kunlun to Altun Mountain, you can reach it in one or two days."

Master Kongkong had been to the Tianshan Mountains and knew the time and direction needed for this journey.

Half an hour later, when the day dawned, everyone did not dare to delay, put out the fire, got some earth to bury the soot, and went on their way.

On this day, everyone rode horses in a canyon for six hours before they walked out of the canyon, and the canyon was neither hot nor cold, and the road was flat, which was the best part of the road to walk in the past few days.

In order to get rid of Paju Gobu and the others as much as possible, after dark, everyone walked in the dark for more than an hour and came to the edge of a lake before setting up camp.
