Chapter 78: The Transformation of the Heart
"Finally back!" The elders and disciples in charge of escorting the Qiankun Holy Academy all breathed a sigh of relief, since they saw Xia Mu kill many disciples of the Desolate Ancient Tribe in the second battlefield, they had been worried about what would happen on the way, but fortunately, the journey was calm and there were no accidents.
And the disciples and elders who stayed behind in the Qiankun Holy Courtyard all came out because they got the news in advance, and waited outside the mountain gate, and a group of people looked at the ancient warship galloping in the sky, and their hearts were stirred.
Now the outside world is rumoring that the Qiankun Holy Academy is going to flourish, and everything is only because two of the top ten in the qualification battle are from the Qiankun Holy Academy, and when they grow up in the future, they will definitely be able to sweep the same rank.
"Do you want to be so grand? Isn't it that the whole courtyard has come out? Looking at the crowd all over the mountains, Xia Mu was inexplicably a little restrained.
Outside the mountain gate, a group of elders looked at him, and the more they looked, the more satisfied they became.
"Son, do you remember the promise?" asked one of the elders.
Xia Mu nodded: "Of course I remember, once I enter the Ten Thousand Realms Tower, I need to find the treasure of the Ancient Emperor and the Holy Dynasty for the Holy Courtyard, but before that, do you want me to practice in the Dharma Pavilion for a while?"
Hearing this, the elders looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a while. It stands to reason that the higher Xia Mu's strength, the greater the possibility of obtaining the treasure of the Holy Dynasty Emperor, but not everyone can enter the forbidden land of the Pavilion, which contains the spiritual techniques and spiritual techniques collected by the Qiankun Sacred Academy in the past dynasties, and those who are not great achievements are not allowed to enter.
"Yes, all the spiritual techniques in the Pavilion, all of which are open to you, and you can enter them at any time. At this moment, a man in a golden armor robe appeared, who was the person in charge of the entrance trial assessment that day.
"Courtyard master, forget about spiritual skills, but spiritual skills are not needed, this son may not be able to cultivate to the fetal palace realm. In the crowd, Wujizi frowned.
To be honest, Xia Mu was still surprised when he heard that the man in the golden armor robe was the master of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard at first, but then Wujizi's opening made him want to slap this old guy to death. He didn't care about him concealing the matter of the Heavenly Phoenix Emperor's Cave Mansion, but he made trouble for himself three times and twice, even if it was for his disciple Bo Ya, this move was a bit too much.
"It's okay, everything is so decided, as for Bo Li, he can go to the sword shrine, presumably it will help his swordsmanship. The master of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard glanced at Wujizi, then touched Xia Mu's head, and secretly said, "Learn more things, Dongzhou will be in chaos in the near future." ”
Hearing this, Xia Mu was stunned at first, and then nodded silently.
In fact, as early as when the Desolate Ancient Tribe dared to encircle and hunt him down openly in the qualification battle, Xia Mu had faint doubts in his heart, knowing that although he was just a low-level monk in the realm of enlightenment, but in the end he came from the Qiankun Holy Academy, and the Desolate Ancient Tribe encircled and hunted him down with such fanfare, it was that they didn't take the Qiankun Holy Academy in their eyes at all, and this kind of action was tantamount to provocation.
Later, whether it was Wu Li's invitation or Song Jiangshan's wooing, it deepened the doubts in his heart, especially the words revealed by Song Jiangshan on the battle platform, it seemed that something big would happen in the dark, and the target was the Qiankun Holy Courtyard. Now that he suddenly heard the Qiankun Holy Courtyard Master's suggestion, it suddenly became clear in his heart that something really big was going to happen.
"This Ten Thousand Realms Tower qualification battle, you have all worked hard, go back and rest first. The master of the Qiankun Holy Academy said, his words were gentle, and with a wave of his hand, a piece of spiritual light spilled into the bodies of the disciples, and suddenly there was a burst of warmth in everyone's bodies, and some of the disciples who were secretly injured were instantly healed.
Later, in the thanksgiving of everyone, a cadre of elders of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard left the mountain gate with the master of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard in their arms.
And Xia Mu also took the opportunity to run into the mountain gate.
After the ring battle, he searched for Di Qing and Gu Feng all over the world, and was finally told by the elder that the two had terminated the game early and had returned to the courtyard, which made him very depressed and confused, so he couldn't wait to find the two as soon as he came back.
This ancient cave heaven aura is very abundant, far superior to the outside world, although it is not as good as Linglong Valley, but looking at Dongzhou, there are few cave heaven blessed places that can be compared with the Qiankun Holy Courtyard.
After Xia Mu entered the mountain gate, he walked straight towards a big mountain, this big mountain was the dojo of an elder surnamed Shi in the courtyard, Di Qing and Gu Feng were allowed to establish a cave at the foot of the mountain because they worshiped under this stone elder's door. Last time, before Xia Mu left the Holy Courtyard with Old Man Han Feng, he had come here to say goodbye to the two of them, so when he returned to his hometown, he seemed a little familiar with the road.
However, when he came to the door of the two-person cave, he found that the door of the cave was closed, and there was a faint layer of dust on it, as if no one had been in or out for a long time, which made him feel uneasy.
"Isn't this Senior Brother Xia, the qualification battle is over?" At this time, a young man came from the bottom of the mountain, Xia Mu also knew, who was in the same class as them, and also worshiped under Elder Nashi.
At that moment, Xia Mu asked him about the whereabouts of Di Qing and Gu Feng, but he was told that the two had already been picked up by the elders of the tribe, and now they were no longer in the Qiankun Holy Courtyard.
The young man's answer shocked Xia Mu's heart, did he hear some news and recall the disciples in the tribe in advance?
Later, Xia Mu inquired carefully and found that this kind of situation was not uncommon, and many disciples were taken away by the elders of their respective tribes. Obviously, these tribes had already heard some news in advance, and left the land with their children in advance.
Of course, there are also tribes that have migrated into the cave of the Qiankun Sacred Courtyard, all of which are closely related to the Qiankun Sacred Courtyard, including the Qingshan tribe where Han Xuan is located.
It was at this time that two more people walked down the mountain, and suddenly Xia Mu's eyes lit up.
"Isn't this Haoyu and Tuoba two senior brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" Xia Mu hooked shoulders with the two of them with a familiar look.
Li Haoyu was originally talking and laughing with Tuoba Hai, but he was hooked by Xia Mu's shoulder, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and Tuoba Hai was even more frightened and his face turned a little green.
"What's the matter, are you so excited to see the old man that you can't speak?" Xia Mu knew it, but asked with a smile on his face.
"Senior Brother Xia said with a smile, didn't you participate in the Ten Thousand Realms Tower Qualification Battle in Linglong Valley, why did you come back so soon?" Li Haoyu quietly broke away from Xia Mu's hand.
"It's already been over, don't you come to visit the two senior brothers as soon as you come back, the first battle that day, the junior brother misses it very much, when will we learn again?" Xia Mu smiled.
Hearing this, Li Haoyu and Tuoba looked at each other, very depressed in their hearts, and the two of them could see that Xia Mu did not have any hostility, but was just ridiculing the two.
"It's better to meet by chance, let's go, I invite you to drink wine and eat meat." ”
In the end, along with the young man, the three of them were forcibly dragged by Xia Mu to the grass in front of the thatched hut on the low mountain.
At sunset, the afterglow shines from the mountainside, reflecting the meadow in gold. Xia Mu directly took out the bronze tripod from the Qiankun bag, began to boil the flesh and blood of the golden retriever, and also took out a jar of wine, which was given by Tang Yu, the city lord of Jingyuan City, and was originally a filial piety to the old servant, but it was transferred to Xia Mu by the old servant.
"Is this the second elite-level fierce beast Golden Retriever Roar?" Li Haoyu saw Xia Mu take out the golden retriever corpse more than three zhang long from the Qiankun bag, and touched it curiously, forgetting that he was forcibly dragged over by Xia Mu.
Li Haoyu's heart is probably like this, when he sees curious new things, all kinds of unhappiness in the past are instantly forgotten, and his eyes are wide open, and Tuoba Hai and the young man are no exception, but they still know how to be reserved, and they don't reach out and touch them, but they can't stop glancing at them.
Next, the corpses of various fierce beasts were taken out of the Qiankun bag by Xia Mu one by one, there were flying snakes several meters long, there were winged flying fish on their backs, and there were bloodthirsty violent bears two people high...... , all of them were intercepted by Xia Mu, and then thrown into the bronze tripod, then sprinkled with various seasonings, and finally slapped open the lid of the wine jar and poured it into the tripod. Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine mixed with the smell of delicious meat permeated this low mountain.
"Come, you're welcome, just eat whatever you want. Xia Mu flicked his wrist, took out a dagger from the Qiankun bag, cut the beast meat in the ding, put it on a plate, and then handed it to the three of them.
The three of them glanced at each other, and they felt a little embarrassed when they wanted to eat, especially Li Haoyu and Tuoba Hai, who had friction and contradictions with Xia Mu before, and were even more embarrassed to reach out to pick it up.
"Eat, do you want me to feed you?" Xia Mu stuffed the plate into the hands of the three of them, then took out the porcelain bowl and poured the wine, and suddenly a smell of wine mixed with fruity aroma came to his nose.
In the end, Li Haoyu and the three finally let go of their reserve, and the four of them drank and feasted.
Low mountains, thatched houses, green meadows, the setting sun, as the wine fell into the abdomen, the three of them gradually let go, without the previous restraint and strangeness, and talked with Xia Mugao.
In the end, when the moon rose, Li Haoyu and the three of them were all drunk, lying on the grass in a daze, sleeping soundly, only Xia Mu was still awake.
At this time, the night was getting deeper, the night sky was lit up by the bright moon and stars, in front of Xia Mu, the soup in the bronze tripod was tumbling, and the fire under it was uncertain, reflecting on Xia Mu's face, giving people an indescribable feeling.
It's almost three years!
From the beginning of his appearance in the Southern Wilderness, until now, nearly three years have passed, and Xia Mu has gradually grown from a slightly young boy to a young man, and has stepped into the age of fifteen.
For a long time, Xia Mu looked down at the face reflected on the bronze wall, which still looked immature, but its gaze was very firm.
"What happened to my past......" Xia Mu looked up at the moon in the sky, confused in his heart.
Time passed slowly, it was almost late at night, the air around them began to gradually cool, and the fire under the bronze dome gradually extinguished, so that the place gradually fell into darkness, only the faint light of the stars and moon was still shining.
"I don't know where the Taoist chief has gone...... Xia Mu whispered to himself, suddenly remembering the old Tao, and I don't know where the other party is now.
"The higher you cultivate, the wider you will be exposed to the world, and the more things you will understand. Xia Mu looked at the bright night sky, and a hint of firmness appeared in his eyes.
He vaguely remembered that there were some ancient spiritual techniques that could go back in time and take care of the past and present lives, but in order to perform them, the cultivation required was too high and too high.
"Unless I can cultivate to the Immortal Realm, then I may have the opportunity to come into contact with this level of spiritual art. Xia Mu's eyes were glowing, and in that brilliance contained the desire to become stronger, his vision for the future, and his dedication to his origins.
Looking at the three of them who were still talking drunk while they were sleeping, Xia Mu slowly closed his eyes, from now on, he needed to practice harder so that he could achieve his goal.
