The mountain range that appeared in front of Han Li and the others was undulating, and there were many towering giant peaks at the sight, but the vigor of the surrounding world was not very strong, and there were not many monsters and beasts in comparison, so it seemed a little lifeless .
In such a place, there is nothing to gain, and natural monks are not very good at setting foot.
As soon as Taoist Huyan entered this mountain range, his whole body suddenly became more relaxed. Sometimes he would recite a poem in a loud voice enjoying himself, and sometimes he would introduce to Han Li and others some things in the mountain range that he thought were quite interesting. Interesting spectacle.
Han Li didn't pay much attention to this at first, but seeing Nangong Wan listening with gusto, she made some discoveries of her own from time to time, which made Taoist Huyan shout out loudly.
So Han Li also calmed down, carefully comprehending the artistic conception of Taoist Hu Yan at this time, he also felt that it was a different taste, and occasionally put forward some opinions of his own. Due to the different angles, it also attracted Hu Yan and Nangong Wan. Discussion .
The three of them talked and laughed along the way, and under the leadership of Taoist Hu Yan, they walked around the mountain for most of the day, and finally landed in front of a hidden mountain peak.
In fact, Han Li felt the difference of this mountain from a long distance away.
It's not that this mountain peak is really different from the surrounding peaks, but that there are some clever restrictions on this peak. I'm afraid monks whose cultivation base is below the Taiyi realm may not be able to find it, let alone break into it.
Taoist Hu Yan flipped his hand and took out a white token, shook it lightly, and a white light shot out and sank into the void in front of the mountain depression.
After a slight fluctuation in the void, a white crack appeared, and the inside was so white that it was hard to see where it was.
"You two, please."
As Taoist Hu Yan spoke, he led the two of them into the white crack.
Han Li felt that the scenery in front of him changed drastically, and what appeared in front of him was a quiet and unique small valley.
Several exquisite bamboo buildings with two or three floors were built in the valley. On one side of the bamboo buildings is a large bamboo forest and a clear stream connected to a pond. It looks very quiet, and there are many fairy birds and beasts in the forest beside the stream perch.
On the other side, there are several nurseries and some exotic flowers and plants, in which two figures are busy.
"Huh!"
With a light hey, the two who were busy in the nursery got up and walked towards Han Li and the others.
One of them is Yun Ni, and the other is a slim and beautiful girl.
This girl, Han Li, was no stranger to Bai Suyuan.
I haven't seen each other for many years. Yun Ni and Bai Suyuan's cultivation has improved a lot. Yun Ni has reached the late stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, and Bai Suyuan has also reached the Golden Immortal Realm, and the energy around her body fluctuates mysteriously. extraordinary.
"I don't know who it is. It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li. I've been looking forward to Huyan all these years. As long as I drink, I will miss you." Yun Ni greeted her with a smile on her face.
"Friend Daoist Yun, nice to meet you, long time no see." Han Li returned the gift.
"Senior Li, I have not been able to repay the great kindness of taking me to the Candle Dragon Road back then. Please accept my worship." Bai Suyuan's eyes flickered, and she stepped forward to salute.
"Miss Suyuan, you're welcome." Han Li smiled slightly and raised his hand.
Bai Suyuan's body was supported by an invisible potential, and she stood up involuntarily.
She was startled for a moment, then glanced quickly at Han Li, then smiled at Nangong Wan, her bright eyes flickering, as if she was guessing why the woman in front of her was so lucky to be attached to Li Feiyu.
A trace of shock flashed in the depths of Yun Ni's eyes. Even ordinary Taiyi-level monks could not lift up a Jinxian with such ease.
Han Li then introduced Nangong Wan to Yun Ni and the two. After exchanging greetings, they walked into the second floor of one of the bamboo buildings.
The building is quite spacious, and the layout is simple yet elegant. Through the window sill, one can have a panoramic view of the entire valley, full of greenery, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
After several people sat down, Han Li immediately asked why Taoist Hu Yan and others lived here.
"It's a long story. Our family originally lived in seclusion in a secluded place in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory. As a result, a large number of gray immortals suddenly entered the Northern Cold Immortal Territory, causing chaos in the world of cultivating immortals, and the place where we lived was also affected. I had no choice but to flee quickly. Fellow Daoist Fengyi unfortunately fell due to some reasons, and after going through a lot of twists and turns, he finally came to the Black Soil Immortal Territory." Fellow Daoist Hu Yan sighed, as if he didn't want to say more about it.
When Yun Ni and Bai Suyuan heard this, their expressions also darkened.
Hearing this, Han Li also sighed in his heart.
Under the turmoil in the real fairy world this time, many fairylands have been affected, making the already bumpy road of cultivation and inquiry even more rugged. Due to the lack of self-protection power, the weak and weak will die if they say they die. May return to ashes.
As the nominally official power of the True Immortal Realm, Heavenly Court is still preparing for the so-called Bodhi Feast, and the major fairy realms are also actively planning this matter. It seems that they don't pay much attention to what happened in the insignificant small fairy realms.
Perhaps in the eyes of Da Luojing's great powers and even some Taoist ancestors, the entire low-level monks in the real fairyland are like ants, and their life and death naturally don't matter at all.
"After we came to the Black Soil Immortal Realm, we heard that the Phantom Smoke Swamp used to be the site of the relics of the Mantra Gate. After the Heavenly Court was destroyed thousands of years ago, it has been inaccessible since then, so we simply settled down here. You have also seen it, this place Is the environment good?" Taoist Hu Yan continued.
"The winding paths lead to secluded places, the mountains and lakes are shadows, it is a paradise." Han Li nodded, and looked back at Nangong Wan. It's fleeting.
Han Li sighed inwardly, quietly stretched out a hand, and patted Nangong Wan's palm lightly.
He knew that Nangong Wan was able to go through ups and downs and ascend from the spirit world to the real fairy world. Although she also had the desire to seek Tao and longevity, a large part of the reason was to be able to reunite with him.
Although Nangong Wan didn't say it clearly, but as someone who had experienced it, he knew the trace of tiredness hidden deep in Nangong Wan's heart.
And who would have thought that after going through the painstaking cultivation in the human world and the spiritual world, the ascension to become a true immortal that was thought to be complete in merit and virtue is just the beginning of another road to immortality
And this road is more difficult and longer.
Even, I can't see the end at a glance...
It's just that this woman has always had a resolute personality and can understand the overall situation. She knows that under Han Li's current situation, there is no turning back, and it is even more impossible for her to stay by her side for a long time.
Traveling around during this period, Han Li could feel Nangong Wan's affection for him and cherish the time they spend together.
Whenever I think of this, there is an inexplicable warmth in my heart.
Nangong Wan seemed to have also sensed the intention in Han Li's eyes, she nodded slightly at Han Li, and there was a certain firmness in her eyes.
The two looked at each other, it was only a breath before and after, but it was better than a thousand words, all in silence.
Daoist Hu Yan then asked about Han Li's experiences over the years. After the three of them came to the Black Earth Immortal Realm, they have been living in seclusion and rarely went to major cities, so they have not seen the news of Heavenly Court chasing Han Li.
Han Li saw that the three of them didn't know about his affairs, and he didn't want to involve the three of them, so he only said that he had been cultivating in the Black Mountain Immortal Territory, and didn't say anything else. .
"Fellow Daoist Huyan, what did you say just now that the Heavenly Court destroyed the remains of the Mantra Gate here thousands of years ago?" Han Li asked.
"Senior Li, after we came here, I specially inquired from the nearby Zongmen forces. It is said that several groups of people came at that time. Apart from the Heavenly Court, there seemed to be other forces that took the relics of the Zhenyanmen. I turned it inside out, probably looking for something. In the end, I didn't know if I found it, but it destroyed this place and the spirit vein." Bai Suyuan had been listening quietly before, but suddenly she spoke.
"It's indeed like the behavior of the heavenly court... These things are meaningless, so let's not talk about them. Fellow Daoist Huyan, why has your cultivation declined so much?" Han Li changed the subject and asked about Taoist Huyan's cultivation Things.
Yun Ni's expression changed, but she didn't speak.
Bai Suyuan at the side lowered her head when she heard this.
"Actually, it's nothing. When I first arrived in the Black Soil Immortal Territory, I happened to meet an enemy. This person's cultivation level was equal to mine. After a fight, I wounded him, but he was also injured by the opponent. , This led to a sharp drop in cultivation." Taoist Hu Yan said with a smile, he didn't care at all about the decline in his cultivation.
"So that's it." Han Li just nodded slightly, knowing that Daoist Huyan's seemingly ordinary words must contain some hidden feelings that are unwilling to be humane, but since the other party didn't want to say more, he naturally didn't say more. ask.
"Let's not talk about that, let's get down to business. Boy Li, I have picked some spiritual materials from the Black Soil Immortal Realm over the years, and brewed several good wines. Let's taste it together." Daoist Hu Yan got up and smiled.
"Huyan, things have changed now, things are different, why do you still use the old title to call you fellow Daoist Li?" Yun Ni felt Han Li's unfathomable cultivation level, seeing that Daoist Huyan still called him a boy, a flash of light flashed in his eyes Uneasy, he hurriedly interjected.
"It's just a title. If Boy Li can't see through this point, he won't be able to achieve what he is today in such a short period of time." Taoist Hu Yan said with a smile.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Huyan is right! All of us here today are old acquaintances. We only talk about sex and love, and sing about wine. Why should we care about our cultivation and seniority?" Han Li laughed loudly.
When Yun Ni heard this, although she was a little surprised, she soon felt relieved, and there was a smile on her brow.
Bai Suyuan looked back and forth between Taoist Huyan and Han Li a few times, and she felt a little relaxed in her expression, but she looked at Han Li with more respect.
Taoist Hu Yan immediately called Yun Ni and Bai Suyuan to accompany Nangong Wan to visit various places in the valley, and he himself took Han Li to a short house in a remote corner of the valley.
This low building looks like the most inconspicuous of the several bamboo buildings, but once inside, it is too dazzling to describe.
All kinds of wine gourds, wine jars, wine bottles, and many wine glasses of different materials are placed around the building, which are much more abundant than before.
When Daoist Hu Yan arrived here, he seemed to be a different person again. He pulled Han Li around and introduced what wine recipes he had collected with a lot of money over the years, and where he did it. some drinking vessels.
For these, he can be said to be very familiar, even more excited than his own cultivation base has improved a lot.
Until now, Han Li felt that Taoist Hu Yan, who "wields a sword to stir up the world of mortals, drinks wine and laughs at the world", has returned.
