178 Feixian(1/2)
In the next two days, the mountain road was difficult and dangerous, but without the burden of the guards and attendants, everyone walked not too slowly.
The guide was a local who made a living collecting bird's nests on the cliffs, so he was used to walking on this rugged mountain road.
Batian Shi Basitu was extremely skilled in martial arts, and he also happened to specialize in Qing Kung Fu. His body shape was not inferior to that of Yun Zhonghe who had already been defeated.
Only Zhong Ling is still young and has some shortcomings in Qinggong, but with Meng Xiuyuan always helping him, it is not too difficult.
In this way, the four of them descended deep valleys, climbed high peaks, crossed rivers and walked through forests, and finally reached the end of the road at noon that day.
"Mr. Meng, this Yan-picker said that if we go around this mountain again, we will arrive."
After listening to the guide's dialect, Batianshi leaned next to Meng Xiuyuan and translated to him respectfully.
Along the way, the more Basitu came into contact with Meng Xiuyuan, the more he admired Mr. Meng from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, his respectful attitude at this time was not just because of Duan Zhengming's instructions.
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard the sound, his heart full of expectation, but Zhong Ling on the side frowned and said to him seriously:
"Brother Meng, if you want to see this 'Eternal Spring Valley', we can just look outside, but don't go in.
If you are trapped in it, you will never get out."
Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly when he heard this and comforted her:
"Don't worry, I won't let you take risks too.
I'll go in by myself later, and you can go back to Dali with Basitu.
After being out for so long, you should have had enough fun traveling around.
If you really don't want to go home, I will tell Basitu later and ask him to arrange for you to stay in Dali City for a while.
You are my friend, and the Dali royal family will not treat you badly."
Although they have not known each other for a long time, Meng Xiuyuan firstly felt grateful that she helped find Manggu Zhuha, and secondly liked her simple and cute mind, so he really regarded her as a friend and thought of Zhong Ling when he spoke.
Be thoughtful.
Unexpectedly, when Zhong Ling heard this, he shook his head vigorously and refused to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Brother Meng, what are you thinking? I mean, don't even go in.
What if...if something happens to you inside and you can't come out, what will you do?
How come you, a big man like you, don’t consider the danger at all?!”
Zhong Ling frowned while speaking. Although she knew that Meng Xiuyuan never listened to her words, she still couldn't help but persuade her.
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled, ignoring her and just continued to stride forward.
Seeing this situation, Zhong Ling knew that he couldn't persuade Meng Xiuyuan anymore. He originally wanted to bow his head and give up. But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help but raised his head and asked Meng Xiuyuan:
"Brother Meng, do you have a particularly powerful enemy who killed your parents and relatives?"
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand the little girl's thinking, and frowned and asked:
"No, who did you listen to?"
Zhong Ling shook his head and explained to Meng Xiuyuan:
"I didn't listen to what others said. I just think that there must be some important reason why you are willing to take such risks just to practice your kung fu when you are so good at it."
"Haha!" Meng Xiuyuan was delighted when he heard this and said to Zhong Ling:
"What you're saying is that no one in the martial arts world wants to practice his kung fu better.
Not to mention just going on an adventure for this reason, there are many people who are self-inflicted and desperate, so what does it mean to me?"
Zhong Ling shook his head again, still not agreeing with Meng Xiuyuan's words:
"That's because their kung fu is not good enough, they are bullied, and their lives are at risk, so they take desperate risks.
Brother Meng, you are already invincible in martial arts, so why bother?
Do you really want to practice kung fu and become a god before you give up?"
Meng Xiuyuan originally thought that Zhong Ling was messing around, but after listening carefully to his words, he found that the little girl was actually thinking a lot, so he simply discussed with her seriously:
"If you can really become a god, what's wrong with that?
Don’t you want to be a god?”
Zhong Ling pondered for a long time, and then answered calmly:
"If being a god means being like you, Brother Meng, who only thinks about practicing martial arts and seeking Taoism all day long and does nothing else, then I would rather not be one.
That kind of life, even if it lasts for hundreds or thousands of years, would still be boring."
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately wanted to say something to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.
Because he subconsciously recalled that in this life in Tianlong World, except for showing some filial piety to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, the rest of his life seemed to be just practicing martial arts and pursuing the Tao.
Compared with the Wudang Meng Shaoxia in his previous life, the life of Meng Xiuyuan in this life has become much more monotonous.
In the past ten years, he has come and gone in a hurry, as if something was urging him behind him, never slowing down, he just kept walking on the road to becoming stronger.
For a moment, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little confused, realizing that he had never considered this issue before, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
"Look, Brother Meng, do you think what I said makes sense?!"
Zhong Ling saw that Meng Xiuyuan was silent and looked troubled. He knew that his words had touched him, so he immediately continued:
"Let me tell you, let's take a look at that 'Eternal Spring Valley' from a distance later, and then turn around and go back.
There is nothing in this mountain except trees and rocks, it’s so suffocating.”
Meng Xiuyuan was silent when he heard this. He ignored the little girl's words and only lowered his head to think.
It wasn't until a long while later that he took a breath and raised his head again.
During this period of time, Meng Xiuyuan had roughly sorted out his thoughts and figured out the reason why his mentality was different from that in his previous life.
First, because after traveling again, I knew that I would not die in just one world, so I subconsciously regarded myself as a passer-by, did not invest too much in the people and things around me, and was eager to follow this path.
Go to the end.
Secondly, he may always think in his heart that there are still people waiting for him in the world of Yitian, and he is afraid of delaying his steps.
All of this is considered natural and there is nothing wrong with it.
However, Zhong Ling's words did remind him that being too eager for success would be of no benefit to his cultivation, so he still had to exercise caution.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, ordinary life is a kind of spiritual practice.
The more you practice in the future, the higher the requirements for your mental state will be. The "martial arts obstacles" mentioned by the sweeping monk in the Xiaoyao sect's martial arts are also related to this, so you should naturally pay attention to them.
Meng Xiuyuan thought about this and when he raised his head and looked at Zhong Ling, he couldn't help but smile and said sincerely:
"Miss Zhong, thank you for your reminder, I have benefited a lot.
In life, one should not only practice martial arts. I will pay attention to it in the future.
But I still want to go to this ‘Eternal Spring Valley’.
I’m confident that nothing will go wrong, just don’t worry.”
After saying this, Meng Xiuyuan stopped rambling. Seeing that the Batianshi in front of him had gone far, he immediately rushed over with Zhong Ling Luck.
…
After bypassing the last bare stone mountain and going straight up the mountain road in Qi District, the four of them came to a deep stream. The terrain was completely cut off and there was no way forward.
"Mr. Meng, this Yan-picker said that over there is the Evergreen Valley..."
Batianshi pointed to the opposite side of the deep stream and said to Meng Xiuyuan with a slightly hesitant voice.
He looked a little embarrassed at this time, secretly thinking that he had failed in his errand today, and couldn't help but feel very guilty.
Because the location of the "Eternal Spring Valley" he pointed at now seems absolutely impossible to pass.
The cliffs on both sides of this deep stream are more than ten feet apart, and the cliff on the opposite side is four or five feet higher than where Meng Xiuyuan is.
Looking up like this, I can only see some tall trees growing on the cliff over there, with long vines growing on them, but I can't see the situation in the valley at all.
"No wonder it is said that people in the valley will die of old age when they leave the valley. Even if they are light and healthy, have strong martial arts skills, and can leap out on the vines by taking advantage of the height difference, they will definitely not be able to return to such a cliff.
Once this is out of the valley, there won’t even be a chance to regret it..."
Seeing this situation, Zhong Ling was actually happy and felt that Meng Xiuyuan should not risk entering the valley this time.
After all, no matter how good Meng Xiuyuan's Qing Gong is and how powerful his internal strength is, as long as he doesn't have wings, he will never be able to fly so high or so far in one leap.
Batianshi held on to the guide and asked for a long time, then sighed deeply, walked over and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Mr. Meng, it's because I didn't do things well because I didn't ask clearly when I came here before.
The Yan picker said that this is the only entrance to the 'Eternal Spring Valley'.
I thought that since he knew where the entrance was, he must have a way to enter, but it turned out that he had just heard the legends from his fathers.
】
Alas, I...I will think of a solution."
While lamenting, Batianshi did not give up and walked towards the edge of the cliff with his head down.
