In the distant sky, the light blue sky slowly opened. The moon set and the sun rose. The sky gradually became brighter. A few birds began to chirp gracefully, and the air was filled with the breath of morning.
The sky is as blue as a wash, and the morning light pours thousands of miles away. The warm sunshine, through the mist in the valley, falls on Xie Heng and Xiaobai's bodies, as if they are covered with a layer of golden clouds.
In the deep valley of the mountain stream, Xiaobai's voice of surprise echoed through the layers of mist in the valley, causing waves of echoes.
"Xiao Daojun, has the foundation of your Dao been repaired? Is there no problem? How are the injuries on your body? Are you feeling any discomfort?"
Xie Heng listened to Xiaobai's barrage of questions and laughed:
"Haha, don't worry, I'm all healed. All the injuries in my body have been healed."
Seeing Xie Heng's angry look, Xiao Bai let out a sigh of relief.
Looking up and searching around, Xie Heng asked with some confusion:
"Xiao Bai, where is Brother Calabash? Why haven't you seen him?"
"Ah? I don't know."
Hearing this, Xiaobai couldn't help scratching his head, and said with a hint of complaint in his voice:
"Since you started healing, that dead gourd has gone to nowhere."
"I haven't heard his voice in the past few days, and I'm a little used to it."
As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, a somewhat joking voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them:
"Hey, little white crane, we haven't seen each other for just a few days, and you're already missing me."
At some point, a handsome young man in a dark green brocade robe stood quietly behind Xie Heng, which shocked Xiao Bai and Xie Heng even more.
The two of them turned to look at the fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man in front of them. The Taoist charm around him was restrained to the extreme. It seemed that he had no cultivation at all, but it still gave people a feeling that Taoism was natural.
For a moment, Xiaobai and Xie Heng looked at each other, and they were even more surprised.
After a while, Xie Heng came to his senses and asked cautiously:
"Are you Brother Calabash?"
"Why, boy, don't you recognize me?"
Ling Yun Gourd's somewhat dissatisfied voice echoed in the valley.
Seeing the handsome young man in front of them confess directly, Xie Heng and Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with a trace of inexplicable surprise.
"Ah, Brother Calabash, it's really you. When did you become a human? Could it be that you really became a spirit?"
When Xiaobai heard this familiar voice, his eyes suddenly narrowed into a crescent shape. He ran to the Lingyun Gourd and looked at it carefully.
Even Xie Heng was surprised at this moment. He asked with a smile:
"It's really you, Brother Calabash. You spirit body has broken through the confinement."
Seeing the two people in front of me looking at rare objects, the good mood that Ling Lun Gourd had just broken free from its shackles suddenly disappeared.
"You have just become a spirit. This is your spiritual body. It is a spiritual body that evolved from the Chaos Mysterious Treasure Weapon Spirit in compliance with the rules of the Great Dao."
As he spoke, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his handsome little face, and he raised his hand and struck Xiao Bai on his smooth forehead.
Boom~
Not long after, a huge bulge hung on Xiao Bai's forehead, like a bulging horn.
"Oh, why did you imitate Xiao Daojun and hit me on the forehead? It hurts me so much."
Xiaobai covered his forehead with one hand, pointed at the spiritual gourd with the other, and said angrily.
Ignoring Xiaobai's anger, Lingyun Gulu looked at Xie Heng carefully and said with a smile:
"Boy, you are not bad. Not only have you repaired your own Dao foundation, but you have also integrated the Dao inscriptions of the Jianmu Scroll into your own soul."
"I think you have successfully mastered the secret of using luck."
When he saw Ling Yun Gourd, he just glanced at him and told him the core of his practice. Xie Heng was even more amazed. He smiled:
"Brother Calabash, you are indeed Xie's great master."
Having said this, Xie Heng was also somewhat grateful and said:
"If it weren't for the help of Brother Gourd, I don't know how much time it would have taken to understand the mystery of this Jianmu Scroll."
After saying that, Xie Heng bowed towards the Ling Yun Gourd.
"Thank you so much, Brother Calabash."
Seeing Xie Heng being so successful, Ling Yun Gourd also smiled slightly, waved his hand, and a mysterious force lifted Xie Heng up and said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Feeling the mystery of the power exerted by the Ling Yun Gourd, Xie Heng raised his eyebrows, looked at the Ling Yun Gourd that had transformed into a handsome young man, and asked:
"Brother Calabash, didn't you say before that your spirit body was imprisoned in the body and could not break through for a while?"
Hearing this, Ling Yun Gourd staggered immediately and secretly cursed in his heart:
"You bastard, you really don't want to pick up the pot."
Seeing Xiao Bai and Xie Heng both looking at him curiously, Lingyun Gourd suddenly felt guilty and thought to himself:
"But we can't let these boys know that I used the energy of merit to break the shackles of the spiritual body, otherwise this boy will have endless problems."
Thinking of this, Ling Yun Gourd showed a slightly embarrassed smile on his face and said:
"I also had some understanding. Seeing the beginning of the new year in the human world, I took advantage of the alternation of yin and yang in the world to try to break away from my own shackles. Unexpectedly, I actually succeeded, hahaha."
Looking at the hypocritical smile on Ling Yun Gourd's face, Xie Heng suddenly secretly cursed:
"Huh, damn Hulu, you really think I'm a fool to thank someone. You're talking nonsense, even if it's used to fool Xiaobai, you may not be able to do it, and you still want to fool Xie."
"Hmph, do you really think that Mr. Xie will believe your lies?"
"Xiao Daojun, why does Xiao Bai feel that Brother Calabash is fooling us by saying this?"
Xiaobai's voice, as thin as a mosquito's, sounded in Xie Heng's ears, causing Xie Heng to nod his head.
Listening to Xiao Bai's unscrupulous suspicion, Ling Yun Gourd also twitched the corner of his mouth. He suddenly became angry and said:
"Hey, you little demon, don't think that I can't hear you if your voice is too small. How dare you doubt me? Do you think you can't get it if you want to?"
As he said this, he did not forget to wink at Xiaobai.
Seeing Xie Heng's winking expression, Xiao Bai said in hindsight:
"Ah, yes, yes. I believe you are."
"Brother Calabash, will you always look like this kid from now on? Will you grow up?"
Xiao Bai's next words immediately made the Ling Yun Gourd thunder. The gourd body above his head instantly turned into a stream of cyan light and hit Xiao Bai's forehead.
Boom~
Another crisp sound resounded in the valley.
"Damn gourd, you actually hit me."
Not long after, another bulging horn emerged from the other side of Xiaobai's forehead, which was so painful that Xiaobai grimaced.
At this moment, Xiaobai also realized what Xie Heng's once "powerful head" felt like.
"Little Baihe, please explain clearly to me, what does it mean to always look like a child?"
"Ah? Please explain it clearly to me."
"The way you look now, you are just a child."
After saying that, Xiaobai grabbed Xie Heng's sleeves and said aggrievedly.
"Xiao Daojun, you have to make the decision for Xiao Bai."
Seeing the two and a half young men in front of him, blaming each other and fighting, Xie Heng instantly felt extremely tired. He even wailed:
"What kind of evil has Mr. Xie done? Don't even think about being clean from now on."
After both of them calmed down, Xie Heng asked slowly:
"Brother Calabash, when will the spiritual seed you mentioned before be conceived?"
Hearing Xie Heng talk about business, Ling Yun Gourd no longer argued with Xiao Bai, the little demon, and said after thinking for a while:
"There is no rush now. It is best to wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before taking action."
"Why?"
Hearing this, Xie Heng raised his eyebrows, looked at the handsome face of Ling Yun Gourd, and asked curiously.
"Why is it on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"
"Boy, do you know that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the annual Lantern Festival in the wilderness. It is also the most popular time in the new year, except New Year's Eve."
"Hehe, when the time comes, the luck of the world will become even more exciting on this day."
"At that time, if you guide your luck to water the eleven spiritual seeds, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and the benefits you will get will be the greatest."
Seeing the slightly treacherous smile on Ling Yun Gourd's face, Xie Heng had an inexplicable thought in his mind:
"This damn gourd smiles so treacherously. Could it be that he wants to capture the most human luck for himself on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"
Suddenly, a stream of light passed over the heads of the three people.
"Hey, it's actually the aura of Tiandi Mountain? How come people from Tiandi Mountain are here in the Imperial Capital?"
Xie Heng watched the stream of light flying towards the Imperial Capital and felt the unique Taoist atmosphere of Tiandi Mountain. He said in surprise.
"Well, it is indeed the aura of Tiandi Mountain."
Ling Yun Gourd put away his smile, looked at the stream of light disappearing into the horizon, and said in a deep voice:
"It seems that the matter between Lan Yu and Yuan Zhen will no longer be kept a secret."
"Although I have cut off the causal connection, the Shu Cang incident was too big, and all the casual cultivators around the Imperial Capital died on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital."
After saying that, Ling Yun Gourd also sighed softly.
"Hey, those guys from Tiandi Mountain may have high-mindedness and pretentiousness, but they are not fools."
"So many major events have happened in the Imperial Capital during this period. After a little investigation, I can guess that Lan Yu and Yuan Zhen are most likely to die in the Imperial Capital."
"I'm afraid, trouble is coming for the Xuanyuan royal family."
After saying that, Ling Yun Gourd turned to Xie Heng and Xiao Bai and said:
"Let's go, let's go to the Imperial City to see what the people of Tiandi Mountain want to do."
"good."
After that, Xie Heng and the Spiritual Gourd landed on Xiaobai's broad back and flew towards the Imperial Capital.
唳~
A long roar of a crane sounded in the valley surrounded by mountains. In the clear roar, a huge white crane shadow had already disappeared into the distant sky.
