The two of them drove the flying boat, and according to the guidance of the map, it only took a few hours to find Xingshan Island.

Xingshan Island is not too big, about 100 miles long, it is also an uninhabited island, the small peaks on the island are continuous, the waterfalls are strange, the greenery is full, and the environment is quite good.

There is also a small lake in the middle of the island, which at the moment is like a mirror, glowing with turquoise.

The vegetation on the island is lush, and there are occasional wild beasts. The two of them carefully inspected the island, and found no signs of the existence of demon beasts, but they also found no traces of caves.

The map from Xiaoyu Gongzi also indicated Xingshan Island, but did not specifically indicate where the cave was located.

Duan Tian frowned and said, "None of us are formation mages, this island is not small, but we don't know where to start looking for it." I don't know if the two people who got the map found the specific location. The two were dead now, and they couldn't ask. ”

Mu Qingyi said: "According to my two fellow disciples, according to Ning Bing's seniors, one is an alchemist and the other is a formation mage, and now their cave must have a ban, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find and so easy to break." ”

"Let's think about it slowly, you said that if you and the Twin Cultivators retreat to the Jindan Period, on this small island, where would you most likely choose to set up the Cave Mansion?"

Duan Tiandao: "If it were me, it would be good to find a cave in the mountain." But if I'm with a dual cultivator, I will naturally follow the advice of the Taoist couple. She said that where she was, there would be who. If it were you, where would you choose?"

Mu Qingyi pondered for a while and said, "I will find a place by the lake." ”

Duan Tiandao: "Then how about we look along the lake?"

As soon as Duan Tian finished speaking, he heard Qi Yunbao shouting in the spirit beast ring: "Have you forgotten that I am the great master of the formation?" I am the best at finding hidden caves, let me out, my deity has found a lot of ruins in the first place." ”

Duan Tian then remembered that Qi Yunbao really knew how to form formations, and he also set up a large array for himself to hide all the treasures, and released Qi Yunbao and said: "I forgot that you know how to do this, if you find the cave this time, it will be your first work." ”

Qi Yunbao turned over a few times in a row, slapped his paws on the ground and said: "You don't coax me, every time you say that you remember my head work, you can have half a reward." Last time I killed a few thieves, I also made a big effort, and I didn't even give me a single stone. I don't do it. ”

Duan Tian smiled: "You leopard, what else do our brothers have to divide between you and me, and mine is yours." Now the beauty is waiting for us to make a move, you don't have to hide your strength, I know that you are the great master of the formation. ”

Qi Yunbao said: "That's pretty much the same, I'm not giving you face this time, I'm only making a move for the sake of the beauties." ”

Mu Qingyi said with a smile, "Please also ask Brother Leopard to make a move." ”

She didn't know the true identity of Qi Yun Leopard, but Qi Yun Leopard was so virtuous, but it made her laugh, if only she had such a cute spirit beast.

Qi Yunbao said: "You are waiting for me here, and I haven't taken the prohibition left over during the foundation building period in my eyes yet." ”

Qi Yun Leopard's body was like electricity, and he searched around the island for a while, and finally chose the small lake first. The toned body burrows directly into the lake, creating ripples in circles and circles.

After a long time, Qi Yunbao came out excitedly and shouted: "The deity is really a genius, just below, it will definitely not be wrong, you can come down together." ”

Mu Qingyi and Duan Tian were overjoyed, and the two jumped into the lake together, and followed Qi Yunbao to dive directly to the bottom of the lake, the lake is still relatively deep, about thousands of meters, the water is extremely clear, and some ordinary water tribes can be seen wandering in it everywhere.

Qi Yun Leopard took the two of them to dive directly to the bottom of the lake, and the fine sand at the bottom of the lake was soft and soft on their feet, but Qi Yun Leopard was light on all fours, leaving no traces, and led the two to a small mountain at the bottom of the lake quickly.

Duan Tian asked, "Is this here?"

Qi Yunbao said proudly: "This is naturally only understood by the great master of the formation, maybe you can know a little bit if Qingchen is here, you, forget it, you don't know if you say it, it's better not to say it." ”

One sentence choked Duan Tian almost choked. Mu Qingyi chuckled and said, "Brother Leopard really has the ability, can you break the ban?"

Duan Tiandao: "If you break it, you will be fine, if you can't break it, I will kill you." ”

Qi Yun Leopard pouted and said: "Please let me do things and drag it like this, you are optimistic, the deity will show you what it means to break the formation." Someone has come in and left some traces, but you can't see it. ”

After saying that, the thunder array of the whole body flashed, and the claws moved rapidly, releasing one small thunderball after another, hitting the mountain peak.

Sure enough, in some areas where the thunderball hit, the thunderball did not react, and in some places it smashed a piece of rock.

Qi Yunbao said: "See clearly, the place where the right person absorbs the thunderball is the location of the formation, and the level of this formation mage is too ordinary, and even the phantom array will not be set up, so people will know it as soon as they try it." ”

Duan Tian remembered that the cave mansion left by Wei Ning that day really had a phantom array effect, even if it was hit in the formation area, it looked like it would fall a lot of stones, and it was no different from hitting it in the general area.

Qi Yun Leopard didn't know what to mutter, while releasing countless thunder balls, he lowered his head and pondered, sometimes gesturing something with his paws, after a while, Qi Yun Leopard said: "This is the outer formation, it is relatively simple, and the inner formation is estimated to be a little difficult." ”

After that, his claws were raised, and more than ten huge thunderballs were spewed out together with his mouth, and at the same time, they were divided into different positions on the mountain peaks, and sure enough, after a rumbling sound, a narrow crack was revealed on the small peak, and Qi Yun Leopard took the lead in drilling into the crack, and Mu Qingyi and Duan Tian also followed closely.

The crack is only a long time, and at the end, there is an open cave, Mu Qingyi said happily: "Sure enough, it's a cave, Brother Leopard is really good." ”

Qi Yunbao said: "Of course, when did the deity brag, you don't know, the deity once found an important cave in a huge sea area, but made a windfall, guess what treasures the cave has." ”

Qi Yunbao was still about to speak, but Duan Tian patted the leopard's head and said, "Let's go in first, there is so much nonsense." ”

Twisting Qi Yun Leopard into the cave together.

This cave is about 100 zhang long, the prohibition in the cave makes the water flow inaccessible, the cave is also full of night pearls, the cave is extremely bright, the stone wall in the cave is carved a lot of pictures, it is the scene of a man and a woman.

There were jade beds, stone tables, and a few small rooms in the cave, but they were all empty and there was nothing on them.

Mu Qingyi said: "Sure enough, someone came, and everything was taken away, but I don't know who did it." ”

Duan Tiandao: "It should be the two people I killed, I didn't expect these two guys to really have some skills, and they could still be found." However, one of the two of them is a formation mage, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find this place. ”

Qi Yunbao said: "What do you know, what is not too difficult, you can find it yourself." Besides, how can that eighteenth-rate array mage compare with the deity, they just found this outer hole, and the things they took are estimated to be worthless, and the real things are still in the inner hole. ”

"Some of the predecessors' caves are not only inner caves and outer caves, but the most I have seen are nine serial caves, and you can only enter if the layers of prohibitions are broken. This inner hole is a bit complicated, and I need some time. ”

"And after I find the formation eye, you have to help me break it together, otherwise I may not be able to break it alone. ”

Duan Tiandao: "Got it, you go and look for the formation eye." ”

Mu Qingyi looked at the stone wall in the cave and said: "Those two fellow disciples must be extremely affectionate, you see this stone wall, there are a lot of carvings, all of them are scenes of the two together." ”

Duan Tiandao: "That's true. ”

A man and a woman on the stone wall are vividly painted, either one strokes the piano, one plays the flute, or two people play chess, or one person collects medicine, and one person mines.

are all scenes of the lives of the two, and through these pictures, it is completely possible to imagine the love and sweetness of the two on that day.

The painter of this painting is very good, and the carving on the stone wall is also clear eyebrows, sharp edges and corners, you can see that the two of them are slowly aging later, their brows are tightly locked, and they practice together, their expressions are anxious, and even their expressions of fear are clear.

Duan Tian looked at the picture and thought a lot, although these two people were extremely affectionate, but at the last moment, they still couldn't break through the shackles of Jindan. Although they encouraged each other and worked together, they were helpless, and they were unable to do their best, and they were still old in the face of Shouyuan.

All the love, all the goodness is gone.

What exactly is the pursuit of cultivation?

Duan Tian thought that if he was with his beloved, even if the sky fell apart, what would it matter?

It's just that if you waste your cultivation time because you are too obsessed with mundane love, and you end up dying with regrets, wouldn't it be against the essence of cultivation?

Mu Qingyi was also silent for a long time after watching the picture, and the two looked at each other, each with their own feelings in their hearts.

Mu Qingyi said: "According to Ning Bing's predecessors, these two people are extremely talented, they are both earth-grade spiritual roots, and they are also relatively good among the disciples in the sect at that time. ”

"It's a pity that maybe because they love each other too much, the two of them wasted too much cultivation time and missed a great opportunity, and in the end, neither of them was able to break through to the Jindan stage, what a pity. Duan Gongzi, do you think the two of them will regret it? If they don't know each other and concentrate on cultivation, maybe they can form a golden pill. ”

Duan Tiandao: "This may be the mutual affection and foam, why not forget each other in the rivers and lakes?"

Mu Qingyi said: "Childe, this is such an allusion, why do you hear it so profoundly?"

Duan Tian heard this story and saw it from a certain miscellaneous book, and told this story to Mu Qingyi, Mu Qingyi said: "It really makes sense." Senior Ning Bing asked me if I could give up immortality for the sake of love, and I replied that although I couldn't, I would never pursue love so early. ”

"My goal is Jin Dan or even Yuan Ying, what cultivator's goal is not this? Although I want to live forever, I also want a truly loving double cultivator. ”

Duan Tian said: "How can things be so beautiful? If you can't live forever and don't have love, wouldn't life be very boring? How many ascetics, all their lives, have devoted themselves to cultivation, and they can't even build a foundation, so what?"

"Life is too short to be happy. Too much fun, but too much time wasted. Penance is the most tiring, but what is the point of short-term joy if you don't do it?"

"In my opinion, cultivation is the first thing, and nothing can be more important than cultivation. ”

Mu Qingyi looked up and said: "Maybe, Duan Gongzi and I have thought together, it is really better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes." ”
