Li Fulin told his two disciples: "Clean up and have a good rest. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
"Leave tomorrow?" Xiaodong thought for a while: "Then thank you for the trouble, Master, isn't Master going to intervene?"
"Xie Zhuangzhu knows it well, there is no inside thief who can't attract outside ghosts..."
Xiaodong understood immediately.
If only someone from the magic way came to the door, Master would definitely not stand idly by. But since the master said the word "insider thief", it is probably the Xie family's housework.
It is inappropriate for outsiders to intervene in general housework.
But to Li Fulin's surprise, Mo Chen mentioned something to him.
"You want to take Xiaodong out on a trip?"
Li Fulin looked at Mo Chen, then at Xiaodong.
"Yes, please allow Master."
Li Fulin did not object to disciples going down the mountain to travel and see the world. If they only practiced on the mountain, they might improve their skills, but their vision and state of mind would not grow along with it. Confucianism talks about entering the world, and Buddhism talks about being out of the world, and the principles are all interlinked.
"Alright." Li Fulin nodded, "Where do you want to go?"
Xiaodong didn't know anything beforehand, the senior brother never mentioned it to him.
Where he was going, he hadn't even thought about it.
In his opinion, it doesn't matter where you go. In the past year, he has been to Beifu City in the extreme north, and he has seen the coldness of the place where the snow does not melt all year round. I have also been to Amami Castle, where the sun is hot and the sun is hot. It is a place where flowers bloom all year round and trees are full of shade.
Traveling far held no appeal for him.
However, he will go wherever the elder brother goes.
He will not be separated from his elder brother.
Mo Chen obviously had a plan long ago: "I plan to take my junior brother to the vicinity of Tianjian City to find out about the Bai family in Tianjian City."
Li Fulin nodded: "It should, but you must be careful."
If it was a year ago, Mo Chen would not have done such a risky thing. But it's different now, his cultivation is no longer what it used to be, and he is confident that Xiaodong will not be in danger.
"Well, I also plan to go to the former site of the Burial Sword Valley."
This Li Fulin also agreed: "If you want to go, go there. Would you like to inquire about the current whereabouts of Wu Guzhu and the others for you as a teacher?"
"No need, Master, I will inquire about this slowly."
"good."
Since the apprentices knew it well, Li Fulin didn't ask for more, but he stuffed them with a lot of things.
Xiaodong always felt that his sect was poor and weak, with neither strength nor fame.
But these things that the master kept on hand were beyond his expectation.
"They are all old things. I thought they were useless and I didn't want to use them. Now that I think about it, it's better to make the best use of them."
Mo Chen and Xiaodong understood in seconds.
Because some of the magic weapons that Li Fulin handed over to them were engraved with the inscription of Danyang Immortal Gate.
Probably Master didn't want to see things and think about people before, so he sealed up the relics of these ancestors of the sect.
Taking things out again now is not for myself, but for the disciples.
Being a teacher is really not easy.
Xiaodong thought that he would probably never accept apprentices in his life. He is not as magnanimous as the master, nor as meticulous and thoughtful as the elder brother. If you really want to accept a disciple, you will definitely mistake your disciple. I am at a loss when it comes to enlightenment and cultivation, so how can I teach others
There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and some people are born to understand, such as the big brother. As for Xiaodong himself, he felt that if he was reincarnated seventeen or eight times, he would not be able to become like the elder brother.
Hmm, not a dragon like that.
Senior brother should be the last and only dragon in this world.
I don't know where all his fellow clansmen have gone...
Xiaodong suddenly had expectations for this trip.
Back then, when Eldest Brother was still an egg, where did he live before it broke out of the shell? Maybe they can still find the traces or objects left by the elder brother's fellow clansmen, maybe there are also ancient books about the past.
Uh, dragons can write, right? It's hard to say whether the Dragon Clan will leave classics or not.
According to the previous master's statement, like some immortals, demons, spirits, etc., some inheritances are innate, and they can understand many things without being taught by others.
Xiaodong thought, since the eldest brother remembered a lot of things from the past, he must be aware of these things.
Early the next morning, Li Fulin's master and apprentice bid farewell to Master Xie.
Zhuangzhu Xie's expression was not as good as when Xiaodong and the others came, probably what happened in the Zhuangzi these few days really made him tired of coping. After sending them to the gate, Master Xie also said to Li Fulin: "It's true that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. I thought I would retreat and live a few years of leisure and ease, but the result is still so worrying."
Li Fulin said: "If you need my help with anything, just send me a letter."
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
After leaving Xiejiazhuang, Mo Chen and Xiaodong parted ways with their master. Chen Jingzhi was brought back by his master to deal with him. Presumably, what awaited him would not be a good result. The best and best ending would be to save his life, but his bones are already crippled. Even if the master didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to live for a few years. up.
Li Fulin only told them to be careful in everything, and nothing was as important as their safety.
Mo Chen and Xiaodong agreed one by one.
Watching the master go away, Xiaodong felt a little dazed, but when he saw the elder brother beside him, he immediately regained his backbone.
"Brother, shall we go?"
"good."
Xiaodong recalled what he saw yesterday, and casually talked to Mo Chen.
"Second Master Xie and a woman?"
"Well, it doesn't look like a husband and wife."
Mo Chen was silent for a moment.
He knows more than Xiaodong.
That woman should be Master Xie's concubine.
As a son touched Lao Tzu's concubine, it would definitely be a family scandal if it spread.
Owner Xie probably already knew about this matter, and he had to deal with the housework after seeing off the guests.
Mo Chen didn't want to talk about such things to dirty Xiaodong's ears, so he changed the topic: "Is your green vine still obedient?"
"Well, quite peaceful."
Xiaodong raised his hand, and the green vine wrapped around his wrist like a bracelet.
As for its usefulness, Xiaodong thinks it is quite useful. Especially when he was practicing, meditating, or meditating, he could feel the spiritual power on the green vines, which echoed his own spiritual power. He even had a feeling that the spiritual power on the green vine had the same origin as him.
These days, not to mention that his entry into the country has been rapid, but it is definitely getting twice the result with half the effort, and it is extremely smooth.
This green vine is very afraid of senior brother.
Xiaodong can feel it.
It should be enlightened, Xiaodong felt that he could feel its emotions. It can be happy, it can be scared, it can be depressed, it can be angry.
When the big brother is not around, its aura is very lively, it is so lively, it feels like it is jubilant. As long as the senior brother is around, he will be extraordinarily honest, honest as if he was pretending to be dead.
But Xiaodong was with senior brother day and night, and the time when they were separated was almost negligible.
So the green vine remained motionless all day, pretending to be a dead vine.
"Well, it's better not to trust it too much." Mo Chen said: "Let's go south first, to see the former site of Tianjian City."
Xiaodong didn't like Tianjian City at all, and didn't even want to hear the name.
Although others said that he was of the blood of Tianjiancheng, Xiaodong never felt that he had a penny relationship with Bai.
He also knew that he might still have blood relatives living in this world, but Mrs. Yan and the others didn't want to recognize him, and Xiaodong didn't have any admiration for them.
Perhaps, as the elder brother said, everyone has their own way, Xiaodong and them are not fellow travelers after all, so why bother to get entangled with each other
Xiaodong will not look for trouble.
I don't know if there will be another good opportunity to travel alone with my senior brother. Xiaodong lives happily every day. Eldest brother is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, Xiaodong has not found anything that elder brother does not understand. The places they passed, the scenery they saw, some people they met... There are different new things every day, and everything has its own uniqueness.
Sometimes Xiaodong even thinks, just keep going like this, it’s better not to have an end.
The climate is getting hotter day by day, and the change of seasons does not have much effect on the monks. If I had to talk about the influence, it would be that Xiaodong discovered that the elder brother is really different from ordinary people now. He prefers water, and the natural aura of coercion on his body is even stronger.
Specifically, there were no mosquitoes around them that dared to disturb them, and the birds and beasts were even more clever, and they hid far away early in the morning, so that their journey was extremely quiet.
They spent several days on the road because there was no rush.
Tianjian City was originally hanging alone on the sea, but now it has completely collapsed, and there is nowhere to look for fragments of bricks and tiles. Before Xiaodong came, he was still wondering where the elder brother was going to find the old site.
It turned out that what the elder brother was looking for was not the old site of Tianjian City.
Alas, this is a bit convoluted, but it is also very simple to say it directly.
Eldest brother found a guide, who Xiaodong was familiar with, but who Xiaodong never expected.
The guide is... the green vine that Xiaodong harvested.
But thinking about it, I met it when I met it in Tianjian City. I don’t know how many years it has been in Tianjian City. It is under the altar of Tianjian City. Now Xiaodong and the others can't find anyone, and they can't find a place, so it's better to let it be a guide than to search blindly by yourself.
The guide listened to the senior brother's instruction and stood there for a long time without moving. Although it can neither speak nor express, Xiaodong inexplicably sees the emotion of bewilderment and grievance from it.
Uh, big brother is a bit harsh on it.
Xiaodong spoke comfortingly, and explained several times, "Just look for a place where you have stayed for many years, or find something you are familiar with."
I don't know if his explanation finally had an effect, or if he was really comforted by Xiaodong, this green vine suddenly lifted his spirits and raised his head high.
Yes, that's right, a vine without head and feet can also make people see it with its head held high and its chest shining, which is really amazing.
But what happened next took Xiaodong by surprise.
The vine didn't go in the direction Xiaodong and the others remembered, but turned around and flew eastward without looking back. That bit of green in the twilight draws out a streak of fluorescent light, like a star trailing its tail.
"The direction... seems wrong?"
Mo Chen said concisely: "Follow it." (To be continued)
