On the second day, the three of them got up early and had breakfast together. When they had led the horses and were about to go on the road, they saw a carriage parked on the road. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Yuan Luhua sat in the carriage and said to the saint Zuo Yu: "Yulang, take care!"

Saint Zuoyu didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, watched the groom whip up, and the carriage slowly left.

In the carriage, Yuan Luhua's eyes lit up, and he looked at the handsome man on the horse through the thick curtain, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.

I drove for three days in a row, but nothing happened. As he was walking, Du Xueyi's horse suddenly knelt on the ground with its front hooves, and no matter how it whipped it, it just shook its head weakly, foaming at the mouth and couldn't get up again.

If you don't have a shop in front of the village or behind it, you have to go to the village and town in front of you if you want to change horses.

Du Xueyi kicked the horse's ass angrily and said, "Horse, why didn't you go to this wilderness? Get up quickly, go to the front and buy you good grass and good fodder to eat." ”

Sheng Zuoyu laughed and said: "Do you think he is a child, and he will be obedient if he gives a candy to eat? ”

Du Xueyi said: "Okay, then you come down first." ”

Saint Zuoyu said: "What am I doing when I come down?"

Du Xueyi said: "You said it yourself, you want to ride your horse for me!"

Saint Zuoyu patted himself in front of him and said, "You sit here." ”

Du Xueyi said: "I knew you weren't so kind-hearted. Hypertherm—"

Haibao agreed, moved his body back, and stretched out his hand to bring Du Xueyi onto the horse.

Du Xueyi glanced at Saint Zuoyu defiantly, smiled lightly, grabbed the reins and said, "Horse run!" Haibao clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse neighed and ran forward.

Saint Zuo Yu watched the pair of people ride away, came back to his senses, and shouted: "Haibao, you have also learned badly!"

After four days of travel, we finally arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.

The majestic mountains rise into the sky. Walking on the winding path, beside the cliff is the cliff, straight and upright, like a knife cutting, strange rocks, birds are difficult to walk, just a glance, it makes people frightened, and I don't know how the people on the spiritual mountain live in such a place all the year round.

With Du Xueyi to guide the way, the mountain is also smooth, plus the three of them still have some internal strength, and they are quite easy, less than half a day's effort, they have come to the main peak of Lingshan - Xianren Peak.

As soon as you go up to the peak, it is suddenly a different world. In front of you is a tall and majestic building, blue bricks and red tiles, thick and neat bluestone slabs spread all over the ground, simple and atmospheric. The palaces are one after the other, and you can't see the edge, and you don't know how big this place is.

A natural barrier of strange stones separated the palaces from the bottom of the hill, and only the path they took up the hill led in a zig way to the gate.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, an old man with a white beard appeared out of nowhere, although his clothes were simple, but he was in good spirits, fairy wind and bones, and his temperament was extraordinary. The old man stepped forward and bowed to Du Xueyi, "I've seen Miss." ”

Du Xueyi said: "Wen Bo, these two are my friends, Saint Zuoyu and Zhang Haibao. ”

The old man looked Saint Zuo Yu up and down, then Haibao up and down, and finally fixed his gaze on Haibao's forehead. Haibao didn't know what he was going to do, but unconsciously touched his forehead with his hand and said, "This is a birthmark brought out of the mother's womb, is there anything wrong?"

The Wimber shook his head, remained silent, and stepped aside. When the three of them entered the courtyard, Hai Bao was still wondering in his heart, that Wember looked at him too strangely, the birthmark on his forehead was very light in color, although it looked more conspicuous, but it was not eye-catching, why did Winbur pay so much attention to it?

The three of them walked quietly. Except for the two children who sprinkled and swept along the way, there was no one in the huge courtyard, and I don't know who so many houses were for.

A huge spiritual mountain is empty, which makes people feel incredible. Hai Bao couldn't help asking, "Lingshan is famous all over the world, how many people want to come to learn the Tao, but I don't know why these palaces are empty, and I haven't seen a few disciples?"

Du Xueyi said: "Since my mother took over Lingshan, the rules for accepting disciples have become much stricter, and those who have no spirituality and are not determined are sent back directly, so there are many fewer new disciples, plus some of the old disciples have gone down the mountain to return to the world, and some have gone to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but there are more people who leave than newcomers, and this mountain is becoming more and more deserted." ”

Saint Zuoyu said: "It is said that the beast manipulation skills on the Spirit Mountain are very good, and there are many places in this mountain where wild beasts are on duty, I don't know if it's true, why haven't I seen it on this road?"

Du Xueyi said: "Yes, yes, but you can't let outsiders see it." It's not to scare you, it's full of arrays around here, if I hadn't brought you up, it would have been difficult for you to get up the mountain in half a month. ”

Saint Zuo Yu and Haibao couldn't help but stick out their tongues.

Seven turns and eight turns, walked a lot of roads, and an arched door appeared in front of me, with three big characters on it: Green Willow Garden. Entering through the arched door, the eyes suddenly opened up, this is a large courtyard, except for a main hall and two side halls, there are no other buildings, very empty, planted with a lot of flowers and plants. A river flows through the middle of the courtyard, and on the way to the main hall, an arched bridge spans the river. On both sides of the river are two rows of tall weeping willows, the breeze blows, and from a distance, the tender green and slender branches of a tree swing gently, as if a beautiful woman is dancing, and it is very beautiful. There were a few children in the yard who were sprinkling and pruning the grass and trees, and they didn't react at all to the arrival of the three of them, but were just busy with their own work.

"Wow, what a chic courtyard!" exclaimed Saint Zuoyu.

Du Xueyi replied: "This small courtyard is called 'Green Willow Garden', and it is where this girl lives. ”

"This is still called a 'small courtyard', if it is a 'large courtyard', how big it should be!" Haibao exclaimed, thinking to himself, this is too luxurious, this courtyard is the size of one of our villages, I can't imagine that there is such a world on the top of this mountain.

Du Xueyi smiled and said: "Originally, you were going to live in a guest room, since you think it's good here, this girl is kind and allows you to live in this side hall." ”

Saint Zuo Yu said in a loud voice: "Okay! Okay! But why can you only live in the side hall? The main hall is so big!"

Du Xueyi said: "Honorable prince, this girl can't afford to wait, so I'll ask someone to take you to the guest room." ”

Sheng Zuoyu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't bother, it's very good to live in the side hall, very good!"

The two living treasures quarreled again, and Haibao couldn't help laughing.

Hai Bao thought of the purpose of his coming here and asked, "I wonder when I will be able to meet the mountain lord Qiu?"

Du Xueyi said: "Don't be busy yet, you guys rest here, I'll go to Huaguang Hall to ask." With that, he beckoned the two children and instructed them to bring Haibao and Saint Zuoyu into the side hall and settle them, and they quickly disappeared without a trace.

After a while, a child brought fruit snacks. Haibao ate it and felt bored, so he got up and went to the courtyard, walked casually for a while, and saw a figure by the river, but it was Saint Zuoyu. Haibao stepped forward and saw that Sheng Zuoyu was throwing pebbles into the water by the river, and couldn't help laughing, and teased: "How old are you, and you are still playing in the water." ”

How do you know that Saint Zuoyu said seriously: "Haibao, look at what is strange in this water?"

Hypertherm took a few steps forward, looked at it for a moment, and said, "The water here is greener than elsewhere. ”

Saint Zuoyu said: "Yes, even you can see it." ”

Haibao said: "What is this, it may be that the willow trees here are relatively luxuriant, leaving a projection in the water." ”

Saint Zuo Yu shook his head and said, "No, there must be something strange in this." It is necessary to know that Lingshan is famous for cultivating immortals, and every grass and tree here may hide mysteries. ”

Haibao was also interested, nodded in agreement, and said, "In your opinion, what kind of mystery will there be in this?"

Saint Zuoyu said, "Aren't I tempting?" as he spoke, he picked up another stone and threw it towards the turquoise water.

"Boom-" There was a loud noise, earth-shattering, startling both of them at the same time, and the water splashed down their heads, and a fishy smell of earth came to their faces.
