Spring goes to autumn, and most of the year has passed.

The years of cultivation in the mountains are still the same as before; those who get the taste of it are conscientious and immersed in it; if they don't have the taste, they are boring and unbearable, and the pain is unbearable.

On a mountain trail, Mu Li casually picked up a red maple leaf and said to Li Muran beside him: "Unknowingly, I have been waiting for a year. ”

"Yes, over the past year, a lot has changed. Li Muran smiled slightly.

Mu Li sighed lightly and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, do you know that Senior Brother Liu asked Master for his resignation a few days ago. He felt that he was not suitable for cultivation, that his progress was slow, and that the process was boring and painful, so he decided to give up the path of seeking immortals, return to the secular world, and be an ordinary man honestly. ”

"Did Master promise him?" asked Li Muran.

Mu Li nodded: "Master saw that he really had no intention of cultivating, and he had no intention of forcibly staying, so he promised him that as long as he handed over fifty Yuan Qi talismans, he would be allowed to leave the master's sect." Now Senior Brother Liu is drawing the Yuan Qi Talisman day and night. When Senior Brother Liu leaves, there will only be three disciples left in your group of disciples. ”

"I heard that the situation of other Taoist temples is similar, after a year, whether they are suitable for cultivation has been able to get a first glimpse, and nearly one-third of the disciples have chosen to give up, and each has handed over enough Yuan Qi Talismans, and since then they have broken off with the master sect and have not owed each other. ”

"I also heard that in the past, there were also many senior brothers who returned to the secular world, relying on a little mana and a simple one or two elementary spells, it was enough to make a name for themselves among mortals, or to be a party leader, or to become a hero, to be an official businessman, and they could get ahead, which was much more powerful than in the sect!"

Li Muran shook his head disdainfully and said, "So what? If you can't live forever, you will be a pile of loess in a few decades, and no matter how much glory and wealth you have, it will be a passing thing." ”

Mu Li nodded again and didn't say anything more.

While the two were talking, they had already crossed the mountain road and came to the foot of the rookie peak, and they saw groups of eleven or twelve-year-old boys, giggling and chasing between the peaks, and from time to time there was a bright and wanton laughter.

"A new batch of future disciples has entered. A few years later, they will also undergo consecration and become official disciples of the sect. Mu Li and Li Muran glanced at each other and smiled at each other, and both of them remembered their own time.

There are talents from generation to generation, and a generation of new people replaces old people. It is precisely because of the continuous addition of fresh blood that the sect can maintain its prosperity. Even if some disciples give up their cultivation, it will not have much impact on the sect exhibition. After all, there is never a shortage of dream-chasing teenagers who dream of flying to the sky and becoming immortals.

"It's almost time to get to the mountain gate, Senior Brother Zhao doesn't have to send it anymore, please go back." Mu Li said.

"You've gone out this time, so remember to be cautious. Li Muran solemnly admonished.

"Don't worry, with the Flame Explosion Talisman given by Senior Brother Zhao, I'll be fine!" Mu Li replied with a smile, then arched his hand to Li Muran, strode forward, and after a while, the figure disappeared into the mountains and forests.

"Breaking the mortal dust" is one of the tasks that almost all the disciples of the four sects of Kuanglu must complete.

Although the Kuanglu Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, the mountains are steep and the beasts are rampant, making it difficult for mortals to enter the depths. However, for thousands of years, there is a saying that there are immortal cultivators in Kuanglu Mountain, but it is quite popular in the nearby secular circles.

In the eyes of mortals, these immortal cultivators are omnipotent "living immortals", and when they encounter difficulties that they really can't solve, they will think of asking these "immortals" for help.

Just dozens of miles away on the west side of the mountain gate of Yuanfuzong, there is a flat and open valley. Every year, many mortals rush here, bow down, and ask for help from all kinds of gods.

The four major sects are not good halls, and it is impossible to be entangled in the mundane matter of "saving all the people from fire and water" all day long, and they will often wait for these mortals to bow down for more than 9981 days before they will be accepted.

If the request made by a mortal is reasonable and can be done, the four major sects will send disciples to carry it out, and this task is called "Breaking the Mortal Dust".

Cutting off the mortal dust, firstly, is to cut off the demands of these mortals, secondly, it is also to give the disciples a chance to practice, and thirdly, it can also be used to promote the prestige of the sect - after all, most of the young disciples absorbed by the sect are from nearby mortal families.

Therefore, the four major sects all have similar regulations, and all formal disciples who have been in the field for more than one year must complete the task of "breaking the mortal dust" at least once.

Mu Li's mission is to hunt down a centipede demon insect. According to the villagers who knelt down and begged, this centipede entrenched in the village, not only ate a lot of livestock, but also harmed several village children, the villagers had no choice but to strengthen their precautions day and night, and at the same time sent representatives to Kuanglu Mountain to beg the "gods" for help.

Mu Li planned to use that centipede to concoct spirit wine, so he volunteered to take on the task - according to the description of the villager, the centipede was not very powerful, and a few simple spells that Mu Li mastered were enough to deal with it.

"The actual combat method is also one of the ways to practice martial arts, anyway, this task is unavoidable, rather than waiting for the sect to forcibly assign it, it is better to find an opportunity to choose one by yourself. After Li Muran sent Mu away, he said secretly in his heart.

"The Night Concealment Technique has been cultivated for a long time, and another spell that can only be cultivated at night recorded in the "Thief Sutra" - the Moon Eclipse Technique is being cultivated, so it is better to wait for the Moon Eclipse Technique to be cultivated and then go to the next task of the sect. ”

The Eclipse of the Moon, just by looking at the name, is a spell that is cast at night. This spell is very peculiar, not like the fire explosion technique, the stone armor technique to sacrifice mana, the formation of some form of offensive and defensive means, but with the help of moonlight, with the burning of their own mana, so that the body can be greatly improved in a short period of time, not only the feet and hands are extremely fast, the mana in the body is also more smoothly flowing, and even the mind and mind have to be active a lot.

At first, Li Muran felt that this moon eclipse technique had no effect, but it was repeatedly emphasized in the "Stealing Scripture" that the fighting method between low-level monks was not extremely fast, and if the body was flexible, it was even possible to dodge the opponent's spell attack, which was very advantageous when sneaking up or engaging in close combat.

At the beginning, Qing Yuanzi sneaked up on Li Muran, and his body moved extremely fast, like a black shadow flashing, so that Li Muran could not dodge the spirit sealing talisman he sacrificed later, and Qing Yuanzi probably performed the moon eclipse technique at that time.

It's just that Qing Yuanzi's cultivation of the Moon Eclipse Technique is obviously still in the initial stage, and he has only slightly mastered the power of the fur, according to the "Stealing Scripture", the cultivation of the Moon Eclipse Technique has reached an extremely high level, and it can move the body instantly, so that the opponent can't capture his position at all, whether it is a sneak attack or a head-on enemy, it is difficult to resist.

However, the cultivation of this Moon Eclipse Technique is really not easy. The use and burning of mana is very complicated and full of dangers, and if you are not careful, your mana will be greatly damaged, so that's fine, Li Muran can still do it if he does it carefully according to the law, but when he first started cultivating the Moon Eclipse Technique, his body didn't look abnormal on the surface, but it felt extremely uncomfortable, like a fire burning on fire, and his skin seemed to be drying out inch by inch.

In a fortuitous experience, Li Muran realized that if he poured some spiritual spring water on his body during cultivation, the uncomfortable situation would be slightly alleviated. Later, he simply soaked in the spiritual spring to practice, and now, not only will it not be so uncomfortable, but the progress of his cultivation has also improved slightly.

On this night, the bright moon was in the sky, and the vicinity of the three secluded springs was very quiet. This is one of the several spiritual springs shared by the four sects of Kuanglu, and people often come to fetch water during the day, but no one will visit them at night.

Recently, as long as the night is a good weather with crisp autumn and a bright moon, Li Muran will quietly come here to practice the Moon Eclipse Technique, and tonight is no exception.

Li Muran stood in the spiritual spring, letting the spiritual spring water just cover his shoulder, and then, according to the law, he urged a newly refined vitality in his body, causing the latter to burn in his body like a flame.

In fact, this process is not a small risk, in case it gets out of control and affects other vital energy in the body, it will be very difficult to deal with it, at least the vital energy will be greatly damaged, and at worst the meridians will be damaged and form a serious internal injury.

However, Li Muran has practiced proficiently, and after this wisp of vitality burned, it turned into a hot stream, swimming along the meridians to all parts of his body, and everywhere he passed, a violent ** feeling came. Fortunately, he soaked in the cool spiritual spring water, and he had some habits, but it was not so uncomfortable.

Nine times in a row like this can be regarded as a small level of cultivation, and Li Muran is also sore all over, and he needs to rest for a while before he can continue the next stage of cultivation.

He floated on his back in the spiritual spring, his body almost completely immersed in the water, only his mouth and nose were exposed, and he breathed gently to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth. With the nourishment of spiritual spring water and the vitality of heaven and earth, it can make the tired body recover quickly.

Listening to the occasional roar of beasts and insects in his ears, and looking at the stars all over his head, Li Muran's mood was as peaceful as the spiritual spring at night. As far as cultivation is concerned, there is no sorrow, no joy, no desire, and no desire, which is undoubtedly the best state of mind.

About half an hour later, faintly, there seemed to be a shouting coming from a distance.

Li Muran's heart sank, and he listened attentively, and the voice was closer.

"Someone is coming!" Li Muran didn't think about it, and then crawled to the shore lightly, hiding behind a half-human-high mountain rock.

At the same time, he also secretly fastened a few talismans in his hands.

A moment later, the two chased after each other. Li Muran relied on the cover of the night concealment technique and looked through the cracks in the rocks.

"A man and a woman, the woman was veiled, and the man was a young man who looked no more than twenty years old. Judging from the costumes, the woman is the senior sister of Danxinzong, but the man is a monk of Daming Temple. ”

"The woman's breath was chaotic, her steps were staggering, and she ran slower and slower, as if she was injured!"

"Look how far you can run!" the young monk smiled hideously, "Master, I haven't sacrificed the paper crane yet!"
