Tianyin Mountain, located in the south of Baishou Peak, among the several nearby peaks, Tianyin Mountain is particularly special because it is the only green one.

Baishou Peak lives up to its name, towering into the clouds, and the peak cover is covered with snow all year round, as if it is an old man with a white head. At this time, it was the midwinter weather of the Northern Wilderness, and even the ordinary peaks around it were covered in silver.

But as far as the eye can see, it is this square Tianyin Mountain, but it is a lush green, which seems incompatible with the surrounding mountains.

Li Chongguang asked puzzledly, "Daoist Tianmo, why can green leaves and red flowers grow on this Tianyin Mountain in winter?"

"Stupid. Yuelai on the side couldn't help but answer, "This is Xianshan." The sacred mountain with immortal qi to protect the body, of course, will be full of life. Speaking of which, our Qingqiu ......"

Suddenly, Yuelai's voice became quieter, this little girl always likes to giggle on weekdays, and occasionally teases Li Chongguang, which makes Li Chongguang always feel that this is a heartless guy, but when it comes to Qingqiu, Yuelai's eyes are instantly covered with a layer of mist.

Li Chongguang had heard the story of Yuelai, Qingqiu, which was the place where the ancestors of the fox clan lived for generations, and did not come into contact with the mortal world, but suddenly broke into such a group of cultivators with advanced spells, turning the entire Qingqiu into a torture ground for slaughtering the fox clan.

Since then, Qingqiu, an evergreen fairy mountain in all seasons, has turned from green to red, and the slopes stained red by spiritual blood can no longer grow green branches and leaves.

Tianmo walked on the rugged mountain road, but he seemed to be walking on the ground, he was holding Hei Tan, and Hei Tan was dragging Xiang Bei like a zongzi on his back, listening to the conversation between the Sword Saint and Yuelai behind him, and he didn't want to interject.

But Yuelai's sudden sadness was felt by Tianmo. Maybe it's to appease Yuelai, but it's more like trying to convince himself, "Whether it's a tree, a flower, or even a mountain, they have run out of their longevity, and they should naturally wither." I've heard the story of your fox clan too. There must be life and death, as a branch of the ancient spirit beasts, it is really not easy for your Qingqiu fox clan to continue to this day. I believe that if it weren't for your Great Elder's change of life, I'm afraid that your fox clan would have dissipated without a trace like other ancient spirit beasts......"

"What?" Yuelai came back to her senses from her sad memories, "What do you mean, Dao Chief?

"No, it's the bloodline of your ancient spirit beasts, which should have disappeared from this world a long time ago. The ancestral system passed down by word of mouth from our guardian is to clean up those of you who have ancient spiritual veins, and you do not belong to this world. ”

Tianmo's reassuring words hit Yuelai's transparent heart like a hammer, she has always imagined that maybe in the catastrophe in Qingqiu, other spirit foxes can survive, and she has always thought that one day, she can find her brothers and sisters to reunite, but according to Tianmo's meaning, it is for her to accept the ending that the Qingqiu fox clan must perish.

"You mean, those cultivators who broke into Qingqiu are your boundary guards?" Yuelai was furious, and two sharp tiger teeth appeared from the corners of his mouth, and a layer of murderous intent also appeared on his always well-behaved face. Even Li Chongguang, who had been with him all the way, was also shocked by the murderous aura on Yuelai's face.

Tianmo didn't mind Yuelai's murderous aura. Baishou Mountain is already the boundary of the realm guards, and there are still thousand-year-old realm spirit trees guarding here, so there is no need to worry about it at all, Tianmo said calmly,

"We guard the boundary only to guard, and what we want to protect is the boundary. But all cultivators have the duty to eliminate demons and defend the way, if you can alarm that kind of cultivator, it must be your fox clan who has done something hurtful to the heavens and reason. ”

"You're talking nonsense!" Yuelai couldn't help but shout, and the tears that had been lingering in her eyes for a long time finally fell out.

Li Chongguang This is the first time he has seen Yuelai crying, the pearl-like tears seem to have been dripping into his heart, he will not speak flatteringly, and he does not dare to take the initiative to touch Yuelai's body, so he has to rub his palms to stop Tianmo's words, "Dao Chief, at least Sister Yuelai will not do that kind of thing, and Daoist Tiansong also left her a letter of heavenly chance." ”

"What can you do even if you do that kind of thing? It's not up to you to do it or not to do it. Whether you live or die, you also have your own way of heaven. Tianmo's words seemed to be nonsense, and they seemed to be full of mystery, and everyone couldn't answer all of a sudden, leaving only Black Tan to knock out a fixed rhythm on the mountain road with the horse's hooves, "Boom~Boom~Boom~."

The path up the Tianyin Mountain was hidden among the lush trees, and it became more and more difficult for Hei Tan to walk such a path, and Yuelai finally couldn't help but ask, "Old Dao, are you leading the right way? How long will it take to reach the Tianque Temple you said?" Obviously, Tianmo just talked about the extermination of the Qingqiu Linghu lightly, which made Yuelai still linger.

Tianmo didn't mind Yuelai's rudeness, he had his own thoughts at the moment. Following Yuelai's inquiry, Tianmo casually pointed to the road ahead, as if he could see it, "Beyond this peach blossom forest, you can see the appearance of Tianque Temple." ”

"What kind of peach blossom forest, it's obviously a peach forest, you see, in this icy and snowy northern wilderness, such a big peach can still grow?" Yuelai saw the heavy fruit hanging on the peach tree in front of her, and seemed to quickly forget the previous unhappiness.

How do you know that Tianmo's face changed suddenly, "What, the peach tree has borne fruit?"

"That's right. Li Chongguang also echoed on the side, "This peach is big and red, it should be ripe." ”

Tianmo no longer spoke, with a sad face to speed up his pace, and soon walked into the ten-mile peach forest, the peach trees are neatly planted, at a glance, someone takes care of it, but now the peach forest is no longer like Tianmo when he came to play since he was a child, hung with a tree of peach blossoms, there is no sweet aroma of peach blossoms in the air, only bursts of fruity fragrance wafting, more than sixty years, but it is a reincarnation of Jiazi in the long years, since Tianmo began to remember, these ten miles of peach blossoms have not changed, but this time when he went down the mountain, he did not pay attention to the peach blossoms, it turned out to be the last time this peach forest bloomed。

Yuelai didn't understand where Tianmo's sorrow came from, so she unscrewed a fresh and tender peach from the branch on the side, and when she bit into it, the juice sprayed her face, and Yuelai asked intoxicatedly, "Such a delicious peach, what are you still worried about." Here's one for you, too. ”

Yuelai said, unscrewed a bigger peach, rubbed it on his body, turned around and handed it to Li Chongguang, it turned out that the second half of the sentence was for him.

"Alas," Tianmo sighed again, "I just told you that everything has a life, and the owner of this peach forest once told me that when this peach forest bears fruit, it will be the end of its life." ”

"Huh?" Yuelai and the others were both stunned, what kind of reason is this?

Tianmo also wanted to know what the truth was, Tianque Guan was behind the peach forest, if there was an abnormality in the peach forest, would Tianque Guan also be abnormal, Tianmo quickened his pace, and ran to a thatched hut on the edge of the peach forest,

"Peach Fairy, Peach Fairy?" Tianmo shouted a few times at the hut,

The hut was lifeless, and if it weren't for Tianmo's insistence on waiting, Yuelai would probably think it was an uninhabited and dilapidated place.

After waiting for a long time, finally, the door of the thatched hut creaked, slowly opened, and a thin and shriveled old man walked out of it.

"You're a goblin too?"

However, the old man didn't pay attention to Yuelai, and raised his left hand to say hello alone, but there were only two fingers left in his left hand, "Old man, I didn't expect you to remember to come to see me, I thought I could wait for death calmly." ”

Tianmo didn't react much to the old man's words, but just found a first-class daughter red snatched from Jebecuo's camel team from Li Chongguang's luggage,

"Taoxian, I know the contents of this cup, this is the mellow brew specially brought back to you from Daxia, let's try it together. ”

The old man, who was called Peach Fairy, suddenly released a bright light, staring at the delicate wine jug in Tianmo's hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and opened his mouth happily, revealing a mouthful of toothless tooth flowers, "Hehe, Brother Tianmo, you still understand me, let me freshen up and dress up, don't neglect the good wine you brought." ”

The two quickly set up tables, chairs and benches in front of the thatched hut, and Tianmo was not humble, sitting on the small bench that was erected, and hanging Yuelai and Li Chongguang, who were stunned on the side, aside, "Taoxian, please." ”

Tao Xian brought the wine glass handed over by Tianmo to the corner of Toothless's mouth, sucked it, poured the whole glass of spirits into his mouth, then closed his eyes, and let the hot wine syrup sway back and forth in his mouth a few times before swallowing it in one gulp, and a strong aroma of wine echoed in his entire mouth. Taoxian looked like a good person, until he tasted the aroma of the wine in his mouth little by little, and then he sighed and opened his eyes with satisfaction.

"The moist japonica rice of Xishu, supplemented by a hundred years of sake lees, plus the first red cherry blossoms that bloom in early March, can be cellared for more than ten years to make such a taste. If it weren't for the vast territory and abundant products of Great Xia, it would never have been possible to make such a mellow wine. ”

"Hahaha" Tianmo finally showed some smiles, drank the wine cup in front of him, and then snapped, slamming the empty wine cup to the ground, and the wine cup immediately shattered into countless small pieces, splashing out in all directions, "Taoxian, drinking with you is a great pleasure in my life, since you and I are so leisurely and elegant today, then have a good time." ”

Saying that, Tianmo took out two jars of unopened daughter Hong, "Come, this is Xia Dong's twenty-year-old daughter Hong, let's drink it in this larger wine jar." ”

As he spoke, he tore open the wine seal, and poured the wine syrup into his mouth against the edge of the wide altar, and because he poured it too violently, the wine syrup splashed from the corner of his mouth was directly sprinkled all over the front of Tianmo's greasy robe.

"Okay!" Tao Xian had long been itchy when she was teased by Tianmo, and she also drank it to a jar of daughters......

Ha~ Half a jar of liquor in one gulp, the two put down the jar, gasped together, and then looked at each other and laughed wildly.

"Peach Fairy!" Tianmo's eyes shone brightly, "Your peach tree is bearing fruit." ”

Peach Fairy took one of Tianmo's hands nonchalantly, "Well, the time has come, and everything that should come will naturally come." As he spoke, he pressed Tianmo's hand on his empty right hand sleeve,

"The destiny has arrived, and the peach planters can't cut the peach blossoms anymore. Just like you, a clear-eyed person, you don't just have two black holes left with eyes and no beads......"

Hahaha, the two of them smirked at each other again, looking at Yuelai and Chongguang on the side inexplicably. But Shigemitsu was thinking about something else, "No wonder I'm overwhelmed by this luggage, and I don't know how many of these cups are in that suitcase." ”

Peach Immortal, a peach wood essence who has practiced for three hundred years, the batch of peach trees he carefully takes care of is called Yupan, and with the help of the unique climatic conditions on Tianyin Mountain, there are peach blossoms in full bloom all the time.

But the jade tree does not bear fruit easily, and in order to produce warm jade-like fruits, it will overdraw all the nutrients in its branches. Therefore, the peach fairy is always taking care of each jade tree, and always cut down those peach blossoms that have reached the flowering period, cut off the peach blossoms, then the peach does not grow, the peach does not grow, the jade does not die.

The latest change of Bai Shoufeng, so that the ten miles of peach forest all bloomed overnight, originally Tao Xian planned to spare his physical strength, continue to cut down ten miles of peach blossoms, who knew that his right arm that had already danced the knife was suddenly broken, Tao Xian was anxious, suddenly epiphany,

"Life is only temporary, death is eternal. ”

Since flowering is destined to bear fruit, then accept this doomed ending.
