On the desolate ancient road, two figures walked in the distance, and they had already walked forward in a short time. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a young man and a woman. The woman is only twenty-eight years old, wearing a blue gauze dress, wrapped in that delicate figure, looking extraordinarily youthful and lively, with a beautiful face and a bright smile. And the man is dressed in white, with a faint helplessness on his delicate face, if you don't look at the pair of evil eyes, outsiders will definitely think that this is a pair of young lovers who came out for an outing.

These two people are Bai Yi and Ao Ling, who came out of Black Wind City and went out to find the way. After much consideration, Bai Yi finally chose to bring Ao Ling with him, not because Bai Yi was greedy for beauty, but because of the time with Ao Ling, Bai Yi would feel that his heart was unusually calm. That feeling allows Bai Yi not to be affected by external objects, Bai Yi thinks that this state of mind will make him closer to nature, and his heart to seek the Tao will be extremely firm.

Bai Yi's destination here is Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple is one of the few top powerhouses recorded in "Journey to the West", and it is also the only top powerhouse that Bai Yi can find now, so Bai Yi set the first stop of his apprenticeship journey as Wuzhuang Temple. However, if he flies through the air, Lu Quan, who lives in Futu Mountain, incarnates Wuchao Zen Master, and will definitely find Bai Yi's traces, and if Lu Jian learns Bai Yi's intentions, then Lu Jian will definitely do his best to stop Bai Yi, so Bai Yi will choose to walk with Ao Ling to Wuzhuang Temple.

Glancing at the roadside stall, Bai Yi walked over slowly with a three-point smile on his face.

The tea shop is very simple, just two or three broken tables and a few stools, and the old shopkeeper is a poor old man in his sixties, with a face of vicissitudes. Bai Yi looked around, and there were a few people here at this time, mostly some old farmers nearby and some merchants passing by.

Bai Yi took Ao Ling to find a table and sat down, looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Uncle, how far is it from here to that Wanshou Mountain, and how long will it take?"

As soon as Bai Yi spoke, the old man smiled and said: "I don't know what to do in Wanshou Mountain, there is a Taoist temple in Wanshou Mountain called Wuzhuang Temple, and there is an old immortal living in the temple, called Zhen Yuanzi Daxian." I don't know when this great immortal lived in the Wanshou Mountain, but I just heard from my grandfather that he grew up listening to the legend of that immortal..."

Seeing that the old man seemed to be talking endlessly, Bai Yi hurriedly interrupted: "Uncle, I went to the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain to learn from the teacher, I have been yearning for the legend of the gods since I was a child, and once I accidentally heard other people talking about the fairy in Wanshou Mountain, I started to worship the teacher." It took me three months to get here from home, but I don't know how far this place is from Wuzhuang Temple?"

Hearing that Bai Yi was here to apprentice, the old man glanced at Ao Ling strangely, and then said unhappily: "Since this son is going to Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang to worship the master, how can he bring his wife here, the road to cultivating immortals not only requires super high talent, but also requires a firm heart." Hmph, you actually took your wife to cultivate immortals, I think you went to play and enjoy it. ”

Hearing this, Bai Yi looked at this seemingly ordinary shopkeeper in surprise, but he didn't expect an ordinary old man to say such a thing. Smiling slightly, Bai Yi said softly: "Uncle only knows that cultivating immortals requires talent and hard work, but he doesn't know that cultivating immortals is to go against the sky, and if he is not careful, his soul will be destroyed, and he will not even have a chance to be reincarnated." Since you have already rebelled against the sky, why don't you follow your heart, do whatever I want, and do what you want in your heart. The way of heaven is ethereal, and there are a few people who can really attain the Tao... Forehead... It's a bit too much, old man, let's have tea, take a break, I have to continue on my journey. ”

Turning around, the old shopkeeper was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "This son, every year many people pass by me, go to Wuzhuang to seek Taoism, think that now they have become immortals, you also have to work hard, I hope you can also learn more skills, and do more for the people in the future." It is about a hundred miles away from Wuzhuang Temple, and according to your footsteps, you can reach it tomorrow afternoon. After speaking, the old shopkeeper sent two cups of tea.

Ao Ling, who was on the side, heard this, and hurriedly said: "Hundreds of miles away, that's fast, Brother Bai Yi, we..." glanced around, Ao Ling gently pressed Bai Yi's ear, and said softly: "Let's go on the clouds, we've been walking for so long, I'm bored to death." Anyway, it's already a long way away from Futu Mountain, and that damn land pressure can't detect us anymore. ”

Bai Yi tasted the tea in his hand lightly, looked into the distance, and said softly: "We have already walked here, let's continue walking, we have been walking for a few months, can we still survive these few days? The world is so big, all things are wonderful, in the future you will understand a lot of truths that you don't understand now." The road of cultivating immortals, going against the sky, not everyone is so smooth. It's not a good road, and I hope we can have a smooth road ahead. Gently, Bai Yi said a word that Ao Ling didn't understand.

Ao Ling rolled his eyes, threw a few copper coins on the table, and pulled Bai Yi to walk west quickly. While walking, Ao Ling said: "Then Brother Bai Yi, let's go quickly, it's been three months anyway, and you still care about resting for a while?"

Bai Yi got up with a smile, and as Ao Ling left, as soon as he walked out not far away, Ao Ling smiled and said: "You are like this, when will you go, I will take you away." Saying that, Ao Ling took Bai Yi's right hand, smiled, and rose against the wind, turning into two streamers and disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Behind Bai Yi, the idle little tea shop just now had disappeared, and in place, a vague figure quietly looked at the two streamers that disappeared into the sky, and muttered in his mouth: "Since the cultivation of immortals has gone against the sky, why not follow your heart... Teacher, do you mean that I am too persistent to get your true transmission? Although I have devoted myself to seeking the Tao, I have also abandoned many innermost thoughts in order to seek the Tao, and it is precisely because I go against my own heart that I have not reached the highest level under the saints?

I didn't expect that it was my prospective apprentice who woke me up today, but I originally wanted to blame him for not being firm in his Dao heart, but it turned out that his spiritual realm had surpassed mine. ”

A slight sigh came out of Xuandu's mouth: "How many years, it's the first time I've sighed, and for the first time, I've had some expectations for you." Bai Yi, I don't know what the future (after getting along for a while, what will you, the person who makes the teachers pay attention, be like?)
