More than three months later, it was already winter in Mengbi Shenghua Mountain.

This day coincides with the heavy snowfall of the solar term, and the mountains are covered with snow.

As the saying goes: the clouds become heavy snow, and the scenery is chaotic. The jade pipe sings in the cold night, and the book is draped. The yellow bell changes with the air, and the eagle bird does not sing. What is the limit of the common people, depending on the twilight.

At night, in the side hall of the Douji Peak of the back mountain, a few people sat around at this time. Although the cultivators are not afraid of the cold, the red clay stove in the hall is steaming with mist and heat, and the room is full of spring.

In addition to the head of the house, Zhou Xi and Mu Qitian, there are also Yuhengfeng Yiyun Shitai, the second master of the merchant Shang Chenxi and a tall and burly old man.

The six of them had been discussing here for an hour. At the end, the Conservation True Man said, "Then it was decided." Zhou Xi, you are solely responsible for this matter, and the camera acts. Remember, the first thing is to protect these children, and the second is to achieve the purpose of this operation. ”

Zhou Xi replied: "Master rest assured, disciple can save it." ”

The conservant real person said: "The last transaction of this door was very rich, this is a good sign, and there is only this operation, but this is only one of the links, no matter whether it is success or failure, I have other arrangements, with the help of merchants, always find out the hidden enemy, and you also have to take care of their safety in the morning." Qiao Xian, this time I have to work hard for you. ”

The tall and burly old man was Xin Qiaoxian, the master of the second formation of Yaoguang Peak, and said with a smile when he heard this: "This is nothing, it is what I should do, I am itching and want to try this new method." ”

After the discussion, several people said goodbye. On the way back, Mu Qitian asked Zhou Xi: "Elder Zhou, do you have to involve these children? ”

Zhou Xi said: "Sooner or later, the eagles will leave the nest to experience a while, how can they see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Besides, they are not bad, their qualifications are only higher than you and me when I was young, don't look at them underestimated, and the previous few temptations, the other party did not react, I hope they can take the bait this time, and if they don't move, my arms and legs will be rusty." ”

After speaking, he said again: "Half of what you say to them is enough, understand?" Mu Qiwan nodded yes.

In the evening of the next day, the four of Hualan Ting were waiting for Mu Qiwei to come in the main hall after cultivating. Mu Qitian has been coming over for guidance about once a month recently, and today is the day of the party.

In the past three months, except for the time when there was a construction task in the morning and the study at the Zhidao Palace in the evening, Mu Qitian strictly forbade them to move freely outside, and did not let them go out to take on tasks like other disciples.

Now, Lin Xianjing and Yi Liunian, with the assistance of penance and pills, have been stabilized in the entry stage of the One-Yuan Origin Realm, and Zhuge Yun is close to the peak stage. Skill and ability are growing, but the four of them are a little bored.

Yi Liunian was complaining: "I knew that I wouldn't go up the mountain to cultivate, it's better to live for a long time than to live, I really miss the days when there was no one to control in the secular world, and I was happy to be revenge." I heard that the disciples of the main peak have all started to go out on tasks, and some people have exchanged a lot of rewards, so we are still here to cultivate. ”

Lin Xian joked to him: "I think you miss your Wenyin girl, right? I have inquired about all the brothers who should be inquired about, and it is your business how to pursue it." ”

Yi Liunian glanced at him and said, "You are a full man, but you don't know that a hungry man is hungry." According to my observation, in addition to Song Feifei, there are still a few female disciples who are frowning at you, so be careful that Feifei is jealous. Besides, what if you find out that Wen Yin likes to read, anyway, I can't catch up with you and Lan Ting in terms of learning. No, you're around me again, I'm depressed because I like to be lively, and I'm not thinking about spring. ”

Lin Xian laughed in surprise and said: "Sichun is nothing, people are not romantic, there are flowers that can be broken and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches." Don't you think that the eyes of the masses are bright, every night in the Taoist Palace, you follow Wen Yin's figure to listen to the class, and you are often absent from the Imperial Beast Lecture of Yin Yuan Peak, when we can't see it?"

Yi Liunian was stunned when he heard it, scratched his head and muttered to himself: "You don't say that I really didn't pay attention, but it's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, I fell into the love network, but she watched it outside the network." In addition, is this really good? I'm here to cultivate, you don't care about the top ten, but I'm very stimulated by Lan Ting and Zhuge , and in the secular world, I've always been the first to be the first to fall behind. ”

Lin Xian patted him in surprise and said: "Brother, food and color, sex, this sect of cultivation and can't help falling in love, heaven and earth are dwarfed, yin and yang are born together, male and female go hand in hand, the Tao is natural, existence is reasonable, all sentient beings are waiting for you to love, if you are too serious, you will lose, but if you are too persistent at one end, you will be in love." Come on, I'm optimistic about you. ”

Yi Liunian looked at him vigilantly: "Why does this sound a little awkward? Fool me, right?" Lan Ting, do you say that's how you explain it?"

Hua Lanting said with a smile: "Probably that's the reason." will be lovesick, will hurt lovesickness, only to frown, but on the heart, the young man does not know the taste of sorrow, for the new word to say sad, defense is not as good as attack, blocking is not as good as sparse, there is really no need to deliberately suppress yourself. Cultivation is about cutting off the seven emotions and six desires, and not being confused by external objects, but then again, only when you pick it up can you put it down, and you can only realize it when you taste it yourself. The so-called car to the mountain before there must be a road, the boat to the bridgehead of the natural straight, everything with the fate, go with the flow, because of the situation, can not get will always be in the commotion, the favored have no fear, the strong twisted melon is not sweet, overkill must be corrected. Yours, got it?"

Yi Liunian didn't seem to understand it, he was confused, and turned to Zhuge Yun for help: "Zhuge , it's okay if they don't say it, but I'm even more confused when they say one thing or another, do you think they are forming a group to fool me?"

Zhuge Yun replied expressionlessly: "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, I don't know about feelings." As for cultivation, there is a cloud in the Tao Te Ching: The Tao can be very Tao, and the name can be very famous. As soon as all words are spoken, they change their taste, just like the water that spouts out of a spring will soon be contaminated with dust. “

"Cats have cat paths, rats have rat paths, people have their own ways, everyone's talents, experiences and current situations are different, understanding is different, the truth cannot be said, cannot be said, one is wrong, so I don't like to talk much. “

"Of course it's good for you to be the first, but that's the means, not the end. My point of view is that you have to ask yourself whether your heart is happy? Cultivation is like playing chess, no matter how good you play, there are mountains outside the mountains and there are heavens outside the sky, and the essence of playing chess is to play, or to be able to experience the happiness of a person when he is playing chess, not just winning a game, that's all. ”

Yi Liunian looked at the three of them and pouted and said, "I think the three of you have been stupid for three months, and you need to relax and relax by talking nonsense and not reaching the meaning of words." Well, I'm kind, I'll cooperate with you, you continue. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Qiyan's voice followed: "It's very lively, I'll also have a paragraph." Heaven and earth have great beauty without saying, there is a clear law at the four times without discussion, and everything has a reason without saying. The saint, the original beauty of heaven and earth and the principle of all things, is why people do nothing, the great sage does not do, and the view of heaven and earth is also. “

"You see the four seasons change here, and now the snow is like a vast expanse, beautiful, you can admire, you can enjoy it, but it can't change and affect its operation for a long time. Don't judge and discern everything in a hurry, just do what you want to do and what you should do in the current time and space. “

"It's like there is a hot pot in front of you now, don't think about whether it's spicy or not, whether it's meat or not, whether you eat it with chopsticks or a spoon, whether you should eat it at this time, etc., eat it if you want to, don't eat it if you don't want to eat it, don't discuss whether it should be or not, whether it's good or not, whether it's right or not, and what the consequences of eating it are. ”

Yi Liunian: "You four scholars eat and drink well, I'll sleep for a while, good night if you have nothing to do, you have something to dream, see you back." "Then I raised my feet and wanted to leave.

"Stop me, I'm looking for you guys, do you want to take an adventure mission?"

Mu Qiwan drank Yi Liunian, "What, there is a mission? still going out? There is still danger? I will go, I will go, I will be the first to sign up." Yi Liunian instantly came to the interest.

Waiting for the four of them to sit down, Mu Qiwan said:

"You know about the roadblock and robbery that Shang Chenxi encountered a while ago, and you have personally experienced the incident in Yuehe Ancient Town. Later, the merchant and the door were secretly visited, and some clues were finally found recently. ”

"We can basically tell that the two people who attacked you in the ancient town last time are still there, specifically in the Wulan Mountain, which is eight hundred miles away from the gate, but the enemy is also cunning and cautious, and has not completely exposed his whereabouts, and the actual hiding place has not yet been found. ”

"The sect has sent two teams composed of your previous generation disciples to enter the Wulan Mountain under the pretense of training, but somehow, the enemy is hidden. That mountainous area is vast, and if you say that it takes time and effort to send people to search the mountains, it may also startle the snake and cut off the clues. ”

"The sect judged that they may have temporarily stopped their activities after the last failure, or they may have only been interested in the lower generation disciples. Therefore, it was decided to try again, send you again, and then decide on the next step according to the situation, or just try to find out the details of their lair, or lure the snake out of the hole to catch a live one or two, or grab and kill and pull out the nail. ”

"Therefore, this operation called fishing is risky, unlike the small chance of casualties in the door, are you willing to go, willing to go, or willing to go?"

"Originally, the tasks that the disciples of Dabi Hou took were to include the experience outside the mountain, but because of the matter of Yuehe Town, the current tasks are limited to the door, but this time it is a rare opportunity, and I have worked hard to get it. It has always been the rule that the mission is a group of two to seven people according to the specific situation, and the division commander will lead the team, and this time it is the same, and it will not arouse suspicion. “

"This time it is divided into two groups, and there are also female disciples of Yuhengfeng to participate, and men and women are not tired of working together. The first group of Lin Xianjing, Hua Lanting, Feng Qingjun, and Song Feifei are led by me; the second group has Zhuge , Liu Nian and Wen Yin and Zhang Hanyun, led by your Yiyun Shigu, and there are other masters in the door who are in charge of the team. Also, Shang Chenxi will take two family members to form another team as a response. ”

Yi Liunian was secretly excited when he heard this, and finally had a chance to get along with Wen Yin.

I only heard Mu Qitian continue: "Don't think too much about it this time, if the enemy doesn't appear, it will be a training mission, and try to collect herbs, ores and capture spirit beasts on the way." If the enemy shows up and fights, he will fight if he can, otherwise he will call for help and retreat, and the rest will be handled by the division commander of the team, and his own safety will be the first, you know?"

Seeing the four of them nodding, Mu Qiwei said again: "Wulan Mountain is located at the junction of the east and west of Xianzhou, and it is no longer considered the sphere of influence of this sect, there will be people from other sects in the mountain who are either cultivating medicine, mining or hunting, you must be vigilant, go back and prepare first, the situation in Wulan Mountain will be introduced to you by senior brother." ”

The four of them went back to prepare their belongings.

Early in the morning, Mu Qiyan and Yiyun led Hua Lanting and a group of ten people to ride horses and whips, and galloped out of the mountain gate to the bottom of the mountain, and Zhou Xi, Xin Qiaoxian and Shang Chenxi then set off separately.

Yiyun glanced at him and said, "I think you're afraid of delaying your drinking, so I'll tell the children about my experience." ”
