"We don't know much about it, but seeing that the fairy chief attaches great importance to his daughter, he knows that it must be a good thing, and he was very happy at the time. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Yuanfang still showed a pleased smile.

After that, the immortal chief said that the candidate had been decided, and he wanted to leave. The rest of the village was puzzled by the fact that the other three children had not been chosen, and begged to be told the reason, and asked if they could bring the monastic path, and Qing Ling begged if they could bring them all. ”

And the immortal chief didn't seem to want to delay more, but he cared about Qingling very much, and thanks to her blessing, he set up a futon under the tree of life, preaching and solving doubts, to satisfy everyone's questions and curiosity, and it took an hour to end. Before leaving, the immortal chief said that this place was special, so he left a spirit sword to guard it in case of accidents. ”

"Zhao Ming, some of the things I told you about cultivation before are my own experiences, and the others are what the Immortal Elder said. ”

"I see. Ye Zhaoming thought about something and couldn't help but say, "Did that Immortal Elder mention the Tree of Life?"

Bai Yuanfang shook his head and said, "The Immortal Elder didn't show any abnormal color, and he didn't even glance at the Tree of Life. ”

Ye Zhaoming pondered for a moment, and then said, "Did you explain what a spirit body is in the sermon?"

"I didn't elaborate, someone asked, the immortal chief only described that it was a kind of cultivation of the great physique, there are very few in the world, and there are only a handful of people who can obtain a physique by nature and nurture. However, in terms of monasticism, it can be described as a thousand miles in a day, far more than leisure. ”

Ye Zhaoming nodded in response.

After a few bites of food, Bai Yuanfang's expression became compassionate.

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoming said, "Uncle Bai, why do you look so sad when you recall the events of that time?" Although not all five children were selected, it should be a great joy that two of them have already been selected. ”

Aunt Bai sighed: "The two families are happy, and the three families are woe." ”

Bai Yuanfang also said: "It is a happy event for the two families selected, but it is a disaster for the whole village. ”

"Since the departure of the immortal elder, the temperament of the three children who were not selected has changed a lot, and year after year, they have become more and more silent. When they became adults, two of them left for the outside world, and one chose to enter the fairy gate. ”

"What kind of place is the Immortal Sect, is it a sect?" Ye Zhaoming asked.

"Not really. Instead of calling it a fairy gate, it is better to call it a ghost cave. ”

Ye Zhaoming listened carefully.

Bai Yuanfang continued: "In the depths of the cave, there is a door, on which is printed with a word: '佡', the word is vivid, like a true immortal wants to fly away; ”

"There are ancestors in the village who strayed in, but never came back, and later generations of virtuous and wise people in the village came out to explore it, and they all never returned. This gradually became a legend in the village, saying that the people who entered the Xianmen became immortals and left the world, while most people thought that the Xianmen might be a trap left over from ancient times, specializing in killing the world or stealing people's spirit. ”

Ye Zhaoming was shocked: "There is such a place, such a thing! Where is the ghost cave?"

"It's two miles north of the village, under the rockery. Bai Yuanfang continued: "The kid who entered the Xianmen went at night, and his father was shocked when he found out, and he rushed into the Xianmen desperately, wanting to find his son, but after three years, the two are still missing. ”

"The two dolls on the other side who went to the outside world don't know if the situation is good or bad? A village in the good end is a lot deserted, and those who have gone away don't know if they are all safe now, do you think this is a disaster for the whole village?"

Ye Zhaoming's expression was slightly heavy, and he said, "Old Master Li is the oldest, has he said anything?"

"Uncle Li shouldn't know the origin of Xianmen, otherwise he would have explained to everyone a long time ago, someone once asked him, he just shook his head and didn't say anything. For the three little babies, Mr. Li only said that everyone has their own way and their own way to go, and outsiders should not interfere too much, just follow nature. ”

"Uncle Bai, have you told that immortal chief about this, and asked him to solve the secret of the immortal gate?"

"Nope. The immortal gate is a taboo-like existence for us, it is very weird, how can we let the immortal chief get into danger. If there is any case, not only will it harm the immortal chief in vain, but it will also delay the daughter's cultivation event. Besides, with the extremely happy and sad mentality at that time, who still has the heart to mention the matter of Xianmen. ”

Ye Zhaoming agreed: "Well, it's reasonable. ”

Aunt Bai said with concern: "Do you have any plans for Zhao Ming in the future?"

Ye Zhaoming shook his head and said to Aunt Bai, "I wonder if it's convenient to live here temporarily?"

"Convenient, convenient!" Aunt Bai looked extremely happy.

In this way, Ye Zhaoming lived in this village.

Time flies, unconsciously, living in these two old homes for more than a year, Ye Zhaoming's relationship with them has become deep, with the taste of a family of three, and at the same time, he is also very familiar with other people in the village, and has completely integrated into their lives.

Planting crops, chopping wood, hunting, and picking herbs together, although this most simple life can sometimes be very tiring, Ye Zhaoming's heart is very peaceful, without a trace of prosperity and impetuousness and the torment of fame and greed, and he almost forgot that he came from the lower realm.

The sky is full of sunshine, bright and soft, cloudless, a clear stream floating in the blue sky, bustling, lively and warm, it is most suitable to go out for a long trip. Although the climate here has always been very good, there is no obvious difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter.

"Zhaoming, go hunting alone?" Old man Li leaned over and smiled at Ye Zhaoming, who was about to leave the village.

"Yes, Grandpa Li, I'm going to go to the mountains in the distance to hunt some prey, and I'll bring you some game back later. ”

"The young man is good, the person is good, smart, in less than a year, the archery skills have surpassed Wu Zhi's old boy, it is really better than the blue. Old man Li looked at Ye Zhaoming with quite appreciative eyes.

Then he said in a slightly regretful tone: "It's a pity that the old man has no children under his knees, otherwise it would be a great thing to achieve a marriage." ”

"Grandpa Li praised it, don't listen to the homely chatter of the elders in the village, in fact, my archery skills are not as good as they say. ”

Old man Li pretended to reproach: "Don't be modest, you little baby, I don't know you yet." ”

He also instructed: "With your archery skills, there must be no great danger in going to the mountains, but it is better to be careful." Old man, I'm going to bask in the sun, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for too long, and this old bone is about to fall apart. ”

His demeanor was full of vicissitudes, but there was a hint of inexplicable expectation in his tone.

"Okay, I'll take notice. Grandpa Li, you walk slowly. Ye Zhaoming respectfully watched Old Man Li leave.

He tightened the bow and knife on his body, adjusted his spirit, and walked in the direction of the deep mountain.

In the mountains, Ye Zhaoming walked unusually swiftly at first, and then he was fast or slow, sometimes like a galloping horse, sometimes like a snail walking slowly, constantly passing through high hills and jungles, rugged stone paths, and steep mountain walls. No matter how you move forward, the movement remains steady and not messy in the slightest.
