In the early morning of the next day, Dao Yuan carried a small burden on his back, held Jin Er in both hands, and stood in front of the steps. Looking at the place where I have lived for 16 years since I was a child, my thoughts were chaotic for a while, and I couldn't give up.

After a while, Tianchenzi walked out of the door, looked at the Dao edge of the gods, and sighed softly.

Dao Yuan heard the voice, turned his head and bowed: "Master, the apprentice is leaving, what other words do you have for your old man?"

"This time I went down the mountain, of course, to explore my life experience. However, it is also the beginning of your entry into the world to seek the Tao, all sentient beings, everyone has their own way, what you have to do is to find your own one, now you can only be regarded as a person who seeks the way, and when you find your own way, you can be regarded as a real cultivator. ”

"This cultivation is bound to be hundreds of thousands of times more difficult than in the mountains, you have to do it yourself! The outside world is unpredictable, people's hearts are treacherous, and everything in the future depends on you......" Tianchenzi looked at Dao Yuan, his eyes were a little complicated.

"When will the apprentice see Master's face again?"

"There is a fate, and there is a fate. However, fate comes to the end, although it is determined by heaven, it is also artificial, and whether we can see each other again at that time depends on you!"

Dao Yuan was silent, savoring this sentence carefully.

"Senior brother. ”

At this time, Daoqing also walked out of the room, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, and stuffed it to Daoyuan: "Senior brother, there is nothing to give you, this bamboo basket, I made it up all night, you can carry it on your back, it can put some sundries, or you can put the gold in it, so that you have to hold it all the time." ”

"Thank you, brother!"

Although it is not a rare thing, Dao Yuan is still very moved, and his eyes are faintly moist. He has been playing with Daoqing since he was a child, and he has never been separated for more than ten years, and now that the separation is imminent, the senior brother's simple and cute smile suddenly became very kind, which made him very reluctant in his heart.

"After I leave, Master and his old man's diet and daily life will be taken care of by you alone, Senior Brother. ”

Dao Qing smiled innocently, patted Dao Yuan's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry." ”

Dao Yuan put Jin Er into the bamboo basket, put his back behind him, bent his knees on the ground, and said to the two: "Dao Yuan bids farewell to Master and Senior Brother!"

After worshipping, he straightened up, turned around and walked down the mountain, turned a corner, couldn't hold back his sadness anymore, tears rolled down his cheeks, and silently thought in his heart: Master and brother, this separation, I don't know when we will see you again, Daoyuan wishes you peace and health, and longevity and happiness!

The branches of the trees on both sides of the mountain road swayed up and down, as if waving to the lonely teenager to see him off.

In front of the thatched hut, Daoqing said to Tianchenzi: "Master, the junior brother will definitely have many tribulations and tribulations, are you really relieved?"

Tianchenzi looked at the direction in which Dao Yuan disappeared, frowned slightly, and said in a leisurely tone: "This is due to fate, and it is beyond human power to stop it." This is his path, and I hope that the end of this road will be as the teacher expects......"

After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, let's go too!"

......

......

But he said goodbye to his master and brother, and went down the mountain with Jin'er, although he had a goal, he had no direction, and he simply didn't care about the southeast and northwest, just casually identified a direction and strided.

He is not in a hurry, so he walks at dawn and rest at sunset, traveling about 100 miles a day, with gold children playing all the way, but he does not feel lonely and bored.

A month later, there were gradually more people, and the roads were no longer as empty as before. After two more days, a huge city was in sight. Dao Yuan put up a pergola with his hand, looked at it, turned back to Jin Er in the bamboo basket and said, "It is estimated that before the sun sets today, we can rush to the city, and when the time comes, I will find a way to get you some delicious food, how about it?"

As soon as Jin Er heard about eating, his eyes immediately flashed with greed, he licked his tongue, and roared happily in his mouth, very happy. The food prepared before going down the mountain has already become dry and tough for such a long time, and the food is tasteless, and the gold that is eaten is grinning, and how can you not be happy and happy when you hear that the Tao Yuan promised it to make it delicious.

As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Dao Yuan looked back and saw more than a dozen horses galloping over. Immediately, all of them sat in black suits, and the first person was even more bearded, with roots like steel and iron, very powerful and heroic.

When the bearded man saw that someone was blocking the way in front of him, he shouted from afar: "Those who are walking in front, get out of the way!"

Seeing this, Dao Yuan leaned to the side, and more than a dozen horses galloped and roared past, raising dust in the sky, as if covering the sky and the sun. He frowned slightly, waved his robe lightly, dispelled the flying dust and sand, and continued to move forward steadily.

The bearded man seemed to feel something, turned his head to look back on the horse, and couldn't help but 'huh' when he saw this, but the horse was in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, more than ten horses had already gone away.

It didn't take much effort, and there were several waves of people and horses galloping by, looking at the costume movements, there was no doubt that they were all people with Xuan Gong. Dao Yuan wondered in his heart: Could it be that something happened in the city ahead? Otherwise, why are these people in a hurry?

Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of horses' hooves behind him started again, and then a shout and scolding came: "Stinky boy, get out of the way, don't get in the way of the masters!"

Dao Yuan turned around when he heard this, and saw that the three horsemen were galloping quickly, and the first one beat the horse and whipped at him angrily, he was slightly angry in his heart, and he no longer avoided it like before, and still moved forward.

The leader saw that the other party dared to turn a deaf ear when he spoke, and he couldn't help but be furious, and when he was about to get closer, he waved the leather whip in his hand and shot it down at the top of Dao Yuan's head, and scolded in his mouth: "You rabbit cub, you can't find death!"

Dao Yuan didn't look back, listening to the wind and arguing, his body shook slightly, and he had already avoided it.

Although he had not practiced the exercises, Tianchenzi had taught him to meditate according to the prescribed method since he was a child, once in the morning and once in the evening, to absorb the power of the sun and the moonlight and the starlight. In the words of Tianchenzi, this can remove the filth from the body, make the body more light and transparent, move quickly, and be more in line with the natural Tao.

So this blow, he dodged very easily. Of course, it is also because the means of the person who shot it are ordinary.

"Yo he, I actually dodged it!"

The man was a little surprised, and although he had already passed, he still turned around and came to Dao Yuan with the other two.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Jin Er who was revealing his body in the bamboo basket, and his greed suddenly appeared, and he changed his words: "Boy, give the beast behind you to the masters, I don't care about your rudeness just now, otherwise, hum!"

With a "choking" sound, the man pulled out the saber at his waist, the bright long sword shone dazzlingly cold in the sunlight, he swung his sword and pointed at the Dao Yuan, the threat on his face was undisguised.

Dao Yuan frowned and looked at the other party, and said, "You want to rob?"

"Hehe, if you don't know each other, you're more than just robbing!" another scarred man sneered.

"It seems that you are very skilled in doing this kind of thing, and it must not be the first time. ”

Looking at the other party's arrogant appearance, although Dao Yuan was calm on his face, he was actually angry in his heart. There is a way that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, although he has not learned the exercises, but he is unwilling to be bullied at will, and Jin'er seems harmless, but it is not good to really start a surge, not to mention that the other three may not be tigers.

Seeing that Dao Yuan's face was as usual, the three of them were not afraid at all, and their tone was casual and indifferent, not taking themselves and others in their eyes at all, and at the same time they were furious in their hearts.

The man with the scar pulled out a long knife, shook it twice, and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, do you give it or not?"

Dao Yuan turned his head to look at Jin Er, who had climbed up his shoulder, and did not speak, but shook his head slowly but firmly.

"Then don't blame the uncle's subordinates for being ruthless!"

The man with the scar looked grim, urged him to step forward, raised his arm and raised the knife.

Just as he was about to start, he suddenly heard a crisp and loud phoenix chirping sound in mid-air, and he was startled and looked up.

In the distant sky, a streamer-like colored light flew through the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was close, stagnating above the heads of several people, coiling and flying. The light was brilliant and dazzling, as if it was emitted by a bird, and although it was not dazzling, it was still impossible to see the true face of the light.

"Phantom Caifeng! Could this be ...... That eldest lady of the Xiao family!?"

Knowing the identity of the person who came, the three of them tightened their hearts at the same time, and immediately turned over and dismounted, standing on the side of the road, and did not dare to take a breath.

Dao Yuan looked up, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a graceful figure in the colorful light, with long hair flying and fluttering, looking at a few of them quietly.

"Within a hundred miles outside the city, you must not fight at will. Ladies and gentlemen, have you all forgotten my ban in Sky City?"

This sentence, fluttering down from the air, although it is the meaning of reprimand, but it is graceful and soft, sweet as food, but with the meaning of cold and arrogant, not eating the fireworks of the world, like a fairy of the nine heavens, sacred and solemn.

"This ...... The next brother is just passing by, and he has no intention of embarrassing this little brother, let's go, and ask the eldest lady to raise her noble hand, don't be like a villain!"

Dao Yuan secretly wondered in his heart, who is this eldest lady, how can an understatement make these people so afraid!

"In that case, let's disperse. The eldest lady didn't seem to want to entangle more, and said lightly. Then, the sound of the phoenix chirping filled the sky, and the colored light disappeared into the sky in front of it in the blink of an eye.

"Hoo ......"

Seeing that the colored light was far away, the three of them let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. The thin man asked with trepidation: "Big brother and second brother, this is the rumored martial arts wizard with peerless appearance, brilliant intelligence, and ancient Lingfeng bloodline, the eldest lady of the Xiao family?"

"That's right! It's her!" The man who was called the eldest brother looked at the direction in which the colored light disappeared, and his face changed from fear to envy: "This eldest lady is the pearl of the palm of the Cloud City Lord, and was accepted as a disciple by the Holy Queen of the Tianshan Mountains when she was five years old. Now that more than ten years have passed, it is said that the cultivation has reached the middle realm of refining the void, and just like that, it is still the result of deliberate suppression......"

"Awesome! It's amazing!" Before he finished speaking, another thin man swallowed hard and spat, and said, "I've been cultivating for nearly twenty years, and I'm just in the Yuan Middle Realm, and compared to others, it's nothing." ”

The man with the scar muttered: "It's really better for people to die than people, and for goods to be thrown away......"

Dao Yuan listened to their conversation and thought to himself: In this way, this girl is really amazing!

After a few people talked, the thin man asked in a low voice, "What about this kid?"

"What else can I do!" The leader said hatefully: "Count his fate, I met Miss Xiao to relieve him from the siege, whether it is the Holy Queen of Tianshan Mountain or the Lord of Yunxiao City, as far as this eldest lady herself is concerned, it is not something we can afford to provoke, and now, we have to let him go!"

In his words, he was full of unwillingness, but he really didn't dare to do anything, so he had to turn over and get on the horse with the other two, glared at Dao Yuan fiercely, and galloped towards the direction of the city.
