The early morning sky lit up with a touch of fish white belly, and the first rays of sunlight shone on the walls of Luoshui City.

The three masters and apprentices from the Earth Dragon Sect stood under the city wall, and the girl Gu Ling stood on tiptoe and looked at the streets of the city, frowning slightly.

The young Nanyue said: "Senior sister, it is estimated that Lu Shen encountered something and delayed the past, let's go back to the sect first." “

The girl stretched out her hand and shook the silver ticket spirit coin in her hand, and frowned seriously: "But Lu Shen's silver is still here, if you don't return it to him, what should I do if the rivers and lakes say that my ancient spirit woman stole other people's silver tickets in the future?"

Nan Yue wanted to speak and stopped, and wanted to say that this is almost impossible, senior sister, you should only go further and further on the road of Taoist immortals in your life, how could you become a heroine inexplicably?

The old man looked at the hour and said with a smile: "Meeting is fate, separation is also fate, since God's will is so don't have to force it, in the future, those silver tickets will find a chance to exchange them back." ”

The old Taoist spoke brightly, and he still had some regrets in his heart, although it was not too far from the Earth Dragon Sect, but after all, there was still a long way to go, if there was Lu Shen with him, safety would naturally be guaranteed.

It's not that the old man is too worried, it's really that there are too many demons in the Blood Demon Sect, and such a major thing has happened in Xiaoqiao Town, God knows if they will suffer any unwarranted disaster if they are inexplicably involved in the future.

You must know that he has been cultivating the Tao for more than 80 years, and it is still only the level of a five-story Taoist building, and it is estimated that it is a lifetime distance from the three realms.

Shou Yuan is fading away, and he has already looked down on the world, and this trip to accompany the two beloved apprentices on a trip to the rivers and lakes is actually his last explanation of his life, and it is estimated that the mountain will be closed from now on, and he will never be born again, so he naturally does not want to have anything else to do with it.

The young man was obviously smart, and he saw through the old man's worries faster than the senior sister, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, master, this is the Middle Divine Prefecture, how can there be so many evil demons and foreign ways? ”

He glared at him and scolded: "Stinky boy, the teacher is really gone!"

Nanyue pursed her lips and said, "Master, you say it's gone every time, but every critical moment is thrown out." ”

The two of them seemed to want to say something, when they heard Gu Ling's surprised voice, "Hey, he's coming, he's coming!"

On the street, Lu Shen walked over from a distance, looked at the old man and asked, "Are you leaving?"

He nodded and said with a smile: "It's time to return to the sect, I don't know when we can meet." ”

Lu Shen said: "I'll go with you, just along the way." ”

There was a hint of gratitude in the old man's eyes, and he naturally knew what the other party meant, and said with a smile: "Then thank you." ”

The boy and the girl glanced at each other, and they also saw the joy in their eyes.

.....

On the official road of Zhongshenzhou, four people walked together.

In the meantime, it took a long detour.

Along the road is a straight country road, surrounded by countless rice paddy houses, spreading into the distance with no end in sight.

The fireworks are full of fireworks, and the sound of chickens and dogs is very peaceful.

Lu Shen was silent from beginning to end, just looking ahead quietly.

The girl was impatient, looked around, and said, "Master, didn't you say that your hometown is near here, and you haven't arrived yet?"

He stopped with a smile on his face, pointed ahead and said, "It's already here." ”

Gu Ling and Nan Yue turned their heads in an instant, and then their eyes widened at the same time.

I saw a small chop of earth covered with a dilapidated thatched hut composed of scattered templates, crooked, abandoned for a long time, not far away is a small step, leading to a higher mountain.

The young man and the girl looked strange at the same time, because this is really a little too shabby and stingy, not to mention whether the master is worthy of the title of Taoist, it is a little difficult to live alone, right?

Cover smiled and said: "Don't underestimate this house, it has been renovated a few times, but I guess I think I will never come back, so I put it here." ”

Gu Ling clasped his hands around his chest, and said with an old-fashioned face: "Master, you are really, you must have forgotten your hometown after cultivating well, and you must not have come back all these years, right? In the end, others don't even care about your house, and they can't blame anyone." ”

He smiled and patiently explained: "Cultivation and cultivation, stepping on the path of cultivation is already considered to be out of the mortal world, naturally not too much to do with the earthly world, you think about it, a small mountain village deep in the mountains, is nothing more than a water source problem, a woman problem, a livelihood problem, if I do something special, they have no fear, in a radius of a hundred miles, then what do the rest of the oppressed people think? If I die one day, and the people in the rest of the villages happen to have a successful immortal master, guess what he will do?" Isn't it that what was originally a matter of blessing and protecting children and grandchildren has become a bad fate in an instant. ”

Gu Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Master, you are a bad person, if you don't do this, others won't do it." ”

The old man rubbed the girl's head, and said earnestly: "Gu Ling, how others do it is someone else, if someone else really does it, then what your master and I do, then it will be reasonable and confident, and it will be more reasonable." ”

Lu Shen looked at this dilapidated little grass hut and nodded: "The Taoist has good opinions, and the Taoist is pure and inactive, and with these ideas, the cultivation should be a little higher." ”

Cover Yu turned his head and said with some surprise: "Little brother also thinks that I should also go to the three realms to see the scenery in my life?"

"Hmm...."

Lu Shen nodded slowly, added another sentence, and said, "You just have too poor qualifications." ”

Hearing this, the boys and girls all laughed.

Covering Chen's face was wonderful, and finally sighed heavily, and said, "These words are really sad." ”

As the sun set, the sky became a satin painting, so they decided to stay here for the night.

Nanyue Guling went to the stream to catch a few fish, picked some wild vegetables, and then lit a fire next to the thatched hut to cook vegetables.

Many villagers saw this scene and looked at everyone, their faces a little wary and unfamiliar.

He didn't know what he had said in the past, and the vigilant look on the faces of those villagers disappeared in an instant, but there was still a little enthusiasm.

The young Nanyue personally cooked a small pot of fish soup, and a few green vegetables appeared on the soup noodles, and after a while, a smell of meat came out.

"Master, master, I think my junior brother's cooking skills are amazing, if you can't cultivate in the future, you can also become a cook in the sect, and you can't be hungry!" Gu Ling tasted the fish and said with a satisfied face.

Nanyue habitually smiled, happy.

The old man looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "If you encounter anything in the future, you have to talk to your junior brother more, don't be stupid alone, you know?"

Gu Ling pursed his lips and said, "Master, you are really verbose today." ”

Cover said with a smile: "It is estimated that people are old, so they naturally talk a lot." ”

Lu Shen sat quietly on the side, looked at the white soup at the bottom of the pot, picked a few chopsticks, thought it was good, and then picked a green vegetable.

The sun finally fell behind the mountain, and a twilight came in the small mountain village, and it almost quickly darkened.

After several days of traveling, the boy and girl soon fell asleep in the thatched hut.

The man covered the two of them with a quilt, and then slowly walked out and stood beside Lu Shen.

Both looked up at the sky at the same time.

Lu Shen finally spoke: "How long is it?"

From the sudden change of path and return to his hometown, it proves that he has sensed his destiny, otherwise cultivators will never return to their hometowns easily, which can be regarded as an unwritten rule in the cultivation world.

After practicing for a lifetime, in the end, the dust returns to the dust, and it is natural to review your life.

The old man smiled and said calmly: "Recently, I have felt something, and it won't be long before my life is better." ”

Lu Shen said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, it is a common thing for people, and it is a good thing that cultivators can know the end of their longevity. ”

Looking at the field in the distance quietly, his eyes were warm, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said softly: "I was born and raised here, and I was brought back to the Earth Dragon Sect by my master in two or three years, but I didn't expect that this would be a lifetime in a blink of an eye, my father and mother died early, and I was a playmate when I was young. The girl she once loved has long since been buried in the ground..."

The old man's face was a little confused, he asked himself, and muttered: "I thought about it carefully before, practice all my life and abandon everything, but in the end, I will not get anything, is this kind of life worth it?"

Lu Shen put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and said calmly: "Under the sky, everything is ants, and countless human beings are trying to break the sky with human power, no matter what the result is, what do you think of the scenes that have happened for thousands of years?"

The old man thought about it carefully, then laughed out loud and ended with four words, "Magnificent!"

Lu Shen also smiled, nodded and said, "That's enough." ”

The old man also seemed to understand something, his tense body loosened slightly, and he murmured, "Yes, that's enough." ”

Cover Yu suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask where the little brother is taught?"

Lu Shen said calmly: "Sword Pavilion." “

The old man's face was calm, he nodded, revealing a natural expression, and said with emotion: "The Sword Pavilion of the Holy Land of the Northern Land of the Little Bottle Continent, it is indeed the sword cultivator there." ”

Lu Shen smiled and asked, "What?"

The old man thought about it for a while, and then said solemnly: "Actually, I want to say that the feeling that you have cultivated for so many years is that your sword cultivation is too fucking unreasonable! When I first learned the Tao, the master said that it is normal to be weak in the early stage of a duel with sword cultivation, after all, the speed of sword cultivation is definitely faster than you! However, the old man finally reached the late stage of cultivation, and the master told me that it is normal to not be able to fight in the late stage of a duel with sword cultivation, who called the sword cultivation in the later stage faster?!"

Cover Yu glared suddenly, and scolded his mother: "This damn thing! I've been deceived by Jian Xiu's lies all my life, but when I get old, I still can't beat it!

When Lu Shen heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud, and the laughter spread throughout the wilderness.
