This way walked for more than two months, the three of them finally arrived in Wucheng, Yuezhou, all the barren land in front of them, cattle and horses can not graze, the village can not grow, broken walls and ruins abound, no one repairs, every family is closed, the scene of depression is embarrassing.

"That's it, then Guanlan Mountain, you will go out of this Wucheng and walk two hundred miles to the northwest, I'm still far away, the green mountains don't change the green water and the long flow, don't pass by, goodbye." Xuanyuan City rode a little donkey, drinking wine, and continued to walk towards the west.

Xiao Shu didn't care, Xiao Yuhua was quite happy to part ways with Xuanyuan City, but when he heard that there were still two hundred miles, he suddenly had a bitter face, although he didn't wait to see Xuanyuan City this way, but he had a good relationship with the donkey, and now he really had to rely on his own two legs, and he had to go for two hundred miles.

"Ten days, ten days at most we have to go. Xiao Shu licked his somewhat dry lips and glanced at the little dry food and water left for a while.

I don't know how long it hasn't rained, I didn't feel it when I was in Yandu, but now I have arrived in Yuezhou, it's really dry, not to mention the rain, not even half of the clouds, the sky is clear, if it is not summer at the moment, the weather has to be hot and die, the only benefit is that you can sleep on the ground, and you don't worry about the weather changes at all, the disadvantage is that the water is not enough to drink, this is still Xiao Shu almost does not drink water, and the situation of Xiao Xiaohua drinking water alone.

Although the cultivation of the Heavenly Xuan Realm cannot completely clear the valley, not eating or drinking for ten days and half a month is only a small meaning for Xiao Shu, and these ten days are completely calculated based on the amount of food and drink alone.

"Ah......" Xiao Hua sat down when she heard the words, lying backwards, looking at the sky expressionlessly, the breeze was gentle, and it would be summer in a few days, and this day was getting hotter and hotter day by day.

"If this was five years ago, if I wanted to go for only two hundred miles, I would have been there in the blink of an eye. Xiao Shu opened the red umbrella and stuck it on the ground, lying in the shadow of the red umbrella, squinting his eyes and saying.

Xiao Yuhua also took advantage of the situation to lie under the umbrella to take a cool, covering the sun, this lying down is much more comfortable, and he did not forget to sarcastically say a few words to Xiao Shu, "You think you are a fairy, and you can arrive in the blink of an eye, I have blinked dozens of times, why are you still here?"

"I won't say it, it was five years ago, when I thought that I was a master of swordsmanship, and I entered the Xuan Realm, the Nine Heavens of the Imperial Sword, how could I not go to the vast world?" Xiao Shu glanced at the thin sword in the red umbrella and recalled.

"Bragging and not asking for money. Xiao Yuhua's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Okay, okay, just let me brag, lie down enough, lie down enough, let's go. Xiao Shu stood up, ignored Xiao Hua's resentful eyes, took the red umbrella, and walked towards the northwest.

"Hey! Wait for me. ”

At the beginning of summer, the temperature rises sharply during the day, and the night is also a lot dull before that, the original green mountains and green waters on the official road are desolate and dead at this moment, with dead trees and dry streams, and no travelers are seen, as if there are only Xiao Shu and Xiao Xiaohua left in this world.

Day after day, day after day.

Xiao Xiaohua chewed the tasteless dry food, shook the almost dry kettle, and wanted to say something, but he saw Xiao Shu closing his eyes and meditating, and then closed his mouth, quietly filling his stomach, he didn't understand at first how this little food was enough for the two of them to eat for ten days, but now he knew that Xiao Shu didn't count himself at all.

But what surprised him was that even so, Xiao Shu was still the same as before, and he couldn't see any signs of physical exhaustion or mental malaise, every time he gave the dry food to Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu always put it back again, and he didn't say anything more when he came and went, just when Xiao Shu really didn't have to eat.

Time passed very slowly, the heat of the day and the panic of the night, so that every day was like a year, and it happened to be the tenth day, as the road shortened, the scene in front of me finally changed, and the cracked ground under his feet gradually became wet.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the pace of the two gradually accelerated, and in an instant, the two stopped their steps and stopped moving forward.

In front of him, there is a lake of water, so huge, so wide, you can't see the end at a glance, as if you have come to the seaside, a slight cool breeze with water vapor blowing, only to feel cool, the previous heat is gone.

"Water!" Xiao Xiaohua shouted in surprise, he didn't care about anything else, rushed to the edge of the lake, scooped up the water and drank it, these days he almost killed him with thirst, he really couldn't figure out how Xiao Shu could not drink a sip of water for more than ten days.

Xiao Shu looked around, the end of the lake was a looming peak, which looked like a small island in the lake, a little unreal, thinking that this was the Guanlan Mountain.

"Bah, bah!" Xiao Xiaohua spit out all the lake water, sticking out her tongue, her whole little face wrinkled, the lake water looks clear, but for some reason it is so salty in your mouth, where can you drink it, even if you raise fish.

"Why, I drank the loach, that's not right, haven't you been complaining about the lack of meat to eat these days, why do you vomit when you try it?" Xiao Shu couldn't help but joke when he saw this, the two of them had to dismantle each other's platforms as soon as they seized the opportunity.

Xiao Yaoda's eyes turned and said, "Yes, I drank a piece of something I don't know, and it pierced my mouth, so I had to vomit, but this water is very sweet." ”

"Oh, then you go on drinking. Xiao Shu responded lightly, still walking by the lake by himself, not knowing what he was looking for.

"It's really delicious, it's thirst-quenching. Xiao Yuhua walked up to Xiao Shu and persuaded.

"I'm not thirsty, I don't drink when I'm thirsty, you might as well help find out if there are boats on this lake, but don't say I didn't warn you, if not, you'll have to swim over." Xiao Shu said without looking back, Xiao Xiaohua thought about where to hide from him.

This lake is within a radius of Xiao Shu's judgment to say less than sixty or seventy miles, this Guanlan Mountain is on the other side of the lake, really want to swim over, even if it is an adult man who is good at water, it is quite difficult, although Xiao Shuhua can swim, but it is only a few dog planing flutters, swimming less than 800 meters to sink to the bottom, although Xiao Shu thinks that light skills have grown, but really want to take a person who does not know light skills at all to fly to the opposite side of the lake is still a little difficult for him.

Xiao Zhaohua looked for a long time when she heard this, but not to mention the boatman in this lake, even the former ferry port was deserted, and only a few pieces of tattered driftwood were left on the shore of the sparkling lake.

"Swim over?" Xiao Yuhua looked at the looming Guanlan Mountain on the opposite side in a daze, when did this have to swim, this is not a road surface, you can rest when you are tired, and you can't sink to the bottom to feed the fish when you are tired of swimming in the lake.

Xiao Shu walked to the shore, gently pressed the driftwood with his hand, turned his head and said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't swim, I have other ways, but it may not be comfortable, but it is definitely not tired." ”

"What way?" Xiao Yuhua's eyes were full of distrust, not that he didn't believe that Xiao Shu could cross the lake, but that the uncomfortable thing in Xiao Shu's mouth made him feel a little hairy.

Xiao Shu beckoned to Xiao Yuhua and asked him to come to his side, and then kicked on one of the driftwoods, carrying enough Neiyuan, but the force control was extremely exquisite, and it did not damage the wooden block in the slightest, and the driftwood suddenly rushed towards the other side of the lake like an arrow from the string.

"Close your eyes. Xiao Shu said.

Before Xiao Zhaohua understood what it meant, he felt that his body suddenly took off, and the surrounding scene retreated quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there was only lake water left under him, and the strong wind made him unable to even open his eyes, and even breathless.

After Xiao Shu threw the little flower out, he picked up the remaining pieces of driftwood, jumped over, and was so fast that he couldn't even see clearly, and instantly followed the driftwood, and landed on it lightly with one foot, and the driftwood did not sink at all, I have to say that Xiao Shu's light skills are really much stronger than before, and they are not inferior to those who are good at light skills.

Xiao Shu saw the momentum of the fall of the small screaming flower, and pulled it up, at this time, the old force stopped, and the foot borrowed a little bit of force, and the driftwood under his feet was a little unbearable, and the water immediately wet the upper of the shoe, and when it was not sinking, Xiao Shu had enough internal strength, and once again threw the little screaming flower towards the opposite bank, and the driftwood under his feet suddenly surfaced again, and threw a piece of driftwood sandwiched in the crook of the arm forward, and jumped again.

Every time the strength is just right, such a wide lake, by Xiao Shu three or four times to cross the cross, Xiao Yuhua is not lightly frightened, the already pale little face is white and blue at the moment, even complaining about Xiao Shu can't take care of it, as soon as he arrived at the shore and was caught by Xiao Shu, his eyes widened, like a fish out of the water, he forgot how to breathe.

Xiao Shu patted Xiao Yuhua's head and said with a smile: "This method is good, I think this water is quite buoyant, if it is an ordinary lake, you really have to swim over." ”

Xiao Yuhua's face was pale, he kept patting his chest, and after retching a few times, he still couldn't help but run to the lake and vomit up what he had eaten before.

"What a fart!" Xiao Yuhua glared at Xiao Shu angrily, she was already hungry, but now it's good, it's completely clean.

"I said something that made you close your eyes and blink your eyes, Daxia, you still lack a little training, you're hungry, aren't you, I'm hungry, why don't you hurry up and wait for the sugar gourd in the sky?" Xiao Shu stretched his waist and walked down the path of Guanlan Mountain without looking back.

Xiao Yuhua didn't have the strength to argue with Xiao Shu at this time, and followed Xiao Shu with an expressionless face, he really regretted why he came to this ghost place with Xiao Shu, what kind of broken temple he hadn't seen yet, and he was almost half his life on the road.

Guanlan Mountain is not a small hillside, that is where the Buddha Cloud Temple is located, this mountain has nine peaks, three pools, eleven streams, among which the Guanlan Peak is in the middle, from the bottom to the top of the eight peaks to the top, there are thousands of feet high, if it is in the early years, it is the peak of incense, the guests come and go endlessly, not to mention the pilgrims who ask for the son to worship the Buddha, even if it is just to see the tourists who are here to see the stunning scenery are countless.

This cloud temple is built on the top of that Guanlan Peak, the scale can be called a unique in the world, the temple is quiet, the perennial Zen incense is swirling, the surrounding forests are lush, the halls are magnificent and magnificent, the double pavilion and a tower stand in it, towering into the clouds, the sound of Zen singing Sanskrit is endless, the morning bell and dusk drum are continuous day by day.

But now, a large number of trees on the mountain have died, and it is obviously just summer, and as far as the eye can see, there are all fallen leaves and dead branches.
