3. The Beginning of the Way (II)

He knocked on the door as he thought about how he would introduce himself if he met someone.

"When!when!when!"

The Moon Soul knocked three times and said, "Is anyone there?"

After a while no one answered.

The Moon Soul knocked on the door again and said, "Is there anyone here?" After saying this, even he felt very awkward.

Still no one answered him.

The moon soul put her ear to the door and listened carefully to the movement inside, but did not hear any movement.

Moon Soul frowned for a moment, and then said cautiously, "That... If you don't open the door, I'll come in, I really come in. ”

He gently opened the door and found that it was a very old mountain temple, and there was nothing else in the temple except for the statue of the mountain god enshrined on the altar, not even the incense burner.

I took a general look at the mountain god, the mountain god was made of stone, wearing general armor, a long-handled broadsword was clenched in his hand, and his tiger eyes were round, and he had a fierce aura.

At this time, the moon soul heard movement outside, turned around and walked out of the temple, only to find that it was raining. Although the rain was not very heavy, the light rain was wet, and he retreated to the mountain temple.

Looking at the rain outside, he felt that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed that he couldn't stop for a while, so he turned around and cleaned a place under the shrine and sat down, leaning his back against the shrine, looking at the rain outside.

Moon Soul thought to herself: Mother said that someone here will teach me the method of cultivation, but where is this person? And Mother said that he would go to her in three years. It's so big, he flew over when he came, he didn't know the way back, how could he go back to his mother?

Thinking about it, he fell asleep, and it rained outside into the evening, and it rained all night.

The next day, Moon Soul got up early in the morning and walked out of the door, the rain stopped, the air outside was exceptionally fresh, he took a few breaths and stretched.

After looking around, I noticed that there was no other change in the surroundings, except for the small river that had become more watery because of the rain. He decided to continue looking for the person his mother had said he had said. Then he went in one direction.

When he reached the end of the plain, he saw a grove of trees. There were trees in the woods whose names he did not know, and of course he could not have seen them, so he could not make out the names of them. But how did he know that these trees were the only ones in the whole world.

There were still some fruit trees in the woods, and then he remembered that he hadn't eaten for a long time. So he went into the woods, and whether it was poisonous or not, picked some fruit to eat. Those fruits seem to be a very ordinary type, but they taste sweet and much better than the ones I used to eat.

After eating the fruit, he had strength, so he continued to walk into the depths of the forest, and when he reached the end of the forest, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the end of the forest was that strange scene, mountains, rivers and mountains, the sun and the moon shine together, and the pavilions float between the sun and the moon. Isn't that where Mother is? It's just that the mountains and rivers seem to be close to each other, but if you don't fly over, you can't get there. Even with the fur sword method that he had learned before, it was impossible to fly up.

He shook his head, it seems that he is still looking for that person!

He walked back, returned to the mountain temple, looked at it, and found that no one had returned, so he walked in the opposite direction of the forest he had just gone to.

At the end of the plain, this time there was a mountain rock, and those mountain rocks were several zhang high, and some were tens of zhang high. There is a small gap in this rock, which can only be passed through by one person.

The moon soul passed through the gap in the rock, and after about half an hour, he finally passed through the rugged rock, but another sight shocked him.

It was a vast desert, the yellow sand was flying, the sun was just leaving a dim disc, and dozens of tornadoes between heaven and earth were like columns supporting heaven and earth.

Seeing such a sight, he froze. He looked back at the rock, and saw a boulder about five feet long floating above it. The boulder is engraved with five large traditional characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing. The moon soul didn't know the words, so there was no way to know what those four words were written.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked back at the desert again. There is no grass on one side, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful on the other, so close to each other, there is such a big difference. Is this natural or artificial? If it is natural, it is still said in the past, but it does not look like it is natural when you look at it this way. That's man-made, to create such a big spectacle, I'm afraid a hundred and a thousand, no, even ten thousand Song Yishang can't do it. Who is it? Is it the mother? Or is it the person that the mother said, if it is one of the two people, then he has already reached the realm of immortals.

The Moon Soul knew very little about cultivation, and there was no difference between what it could and what it could not. In such a situation, comparing immortals is only his own opinion. What is the realm of immortals, he has never seen it, and no one has seen it.

Confused, he returned to the mountain temple. He no longer seeks, but sits in the temple, and if it is really what he thinks, then what he seeks is not by his side?

After thinking about it, he had nothing to do, and he remembered the cultivation method that Song Ran taught him, and he had been practicing silently for the past two years. It wasn't a profound cultivation method, but the Moon Soul liked it very much. Although the progress in the past two years has been slow, he still enjoys it. I was interrupted by Song Jing and Song Lin during my last practice, but now it's so quiet here, no one will disturb me, it's an excellent place to cultivate. If you can't find the person your mother said, you can still fly back to your mother with that law. As for the slowness of his cultivation, he is not worried, there is fruit here, you can eat it when you are hungry, and in three years, you should learn something.

Say practice practice. He found a branch and practiced again as he had done last time.

The wind is leading, agile, and straight, which is the most basic practice of the way of the imperial object. After the moon soul devoted himself wholeheartedly, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had made progress. Although it can't fly, it can quickly consolidate the previous foundation. In fact, where did he know now, this place was full of spiritual energy, and of course it was faster than he had improved in the Song Clan Villa before. In this way, he was alone and began to practice on his own.

A month later.

Unconsciously, he had been here for a month, except for looking around every day, eating some fruits, and then practicing the cultivation method that Song Ran had taught him before, there was nothing else to do, if there were other things, it was sleeping. For the past month, he has not seen the person his mother said he said, and he is too lazy to look for it again.

In the past month, although he has not made great progress in the way of imperial objects, he has been able to fly close to the ground. But because there is no deeper mental method supplement, his qi veins are not long enough, and his true qi cannot be mobilized as he wants, so he can fly ten zhang away and fall down. But he was satisfied.

In the evening, after eating the fruit, the moon soul practiced the method of imperial objects, walked around for a while, and then returned to the mountain temple to sleep and rest as usual.

During the night, he had a dream in which he came to a strange place, which was shrouded in a thick fog and could not see anything. Moon Soul found that he seemed to be a little different, he looked down at his body, it seemed to be a little bigger, because this is the body of an adult at all. The Moon Soul didn't care so much anymore, and walked in one direction. As he walked, he saw a woman in a white dress with a sword in her hand, but she couldn't see the woman's face. The moon soul was about to speak, but she didn't expect the woman to draw her long sword and stab it into her chest, and she didn't dodge. He wanted to see who the woman was, but he couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, all he could see was tears running down her cheeks.

Although it was a dream, I felt an inexplicable pain, and the pain was heartbreaking. Then, he turned into a puddle of water and slowly seeped into the ground. When he was completely infiltrated into the ground, he saw that the woman had raised her sword to kill herself, and he shouted no, but he could not shout, and then he woke up in shock.

At this time, he was covered in cold sweat, panting, and his face was pale. He stood up, opened the door and ran out of the temple, nearly tripping over the threshold. He got up again and ran towards the stream. After running into the stream, he threw water on his body vigorously. After splashing for a while, the cool water of the stream gradually calmed him down.

The moon soul walked to the grass on the shore and lay down, looking at the glass starlight and the bright moon in the sky, and recalled the dream. It's too real, I didn't feel the pain of being stabbed into my chest by the sword, but the inexplicable heartache was so direct, as if my heart was shattered at that moment.

He didn't understand why he had such a strange dream since he had never had such a dream before. Who was that weeping woman? Why did she kill herself? Why did she turn into water? Why did she have such heartache? Why did she kill herself and then kill herself... All of this, like a mystery one by one, surrounded the heart of the moon soul, making him puzzled.

At this time, another strange thing happened, and there was movement in the mountain temple. When the Moon Soul heard the movement, she immediately rolled up from the ground. Who was it? the rat, the animal in the woods, or the man the mother was looking for herself?

He stopped thinking about the dream for a moment, and then slowly approached the mountain temple. He vaguely remembered that when he ran out, he didn't close the door, maybe it was a rat or something like running in, and he comforted himself like this and emboldened himself.

Slowly walk to the main entrance from the side of the mountain temple, and look into the temple by the moonlight.

Because he thought it should be a mouse, he looked on the ground first and saw that there were no rats. But he sensed that something was wrong in it, but for a moment he didn't see that it was wrong, which made him feel a little uneasy. Thinking about it, he looked at it carefully, then raised his head to look at the altar, and then he finally realized that something was wrong there, but then, he almost lost his soul...
