The wind returns, the clouds stop, the rain begins to clear, and the light returns to the lakeside, which is warm and bright again.
The autumn in October has already become slightly cooler. The north wind passed through the city, raising patches of withered yellow. Pedestrians on the street also subconsciously tightened their deep clothes.
In the city of Shaanzhou, there was an earth-shattering battle between gods and gods. As time went by, the people of the world had to work hard for a living. The voices of gossip and gossip gradually died out in the streets and alleys.
It's just that occasionally some people have the idea of cultivating immortals in their hearts, and they keep exploring, hoping to gain favor from the gods and embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
At this moment, Li Yuanba was pacing back and forth outside Xie Heng's yard, with a troubled look on his face.
"Hey, old city lord, what are you doing in front of my little Daojun's courtyard?"
Xiaobai and Qingmu, each holding a braised chicken leg, looked at Li Yuanba who kept circling at the entrance of the small courtyard. Xiaobai asked curiously.
"I've met two fairy boys."
Seeing Xiaobai and Qingmu, Li Yuanba's eyes suddenly lit up, he leaned down and asked with a smile on his face:
"Two fairy boys, are you looking for Mr. Xie?"
Glancing at the chicken drumsticks in his two little hands, Li Yuanba's heart moved slightly and he said with a smile.
"I wonder if the two fairy boys are satisfied with the food in my house these days?"
"Well, well, Lord City Lord, the food in the mansion is delicious."
Aoki took off a piece of chicken and said vaguely.
"Old City Lord, why are you asking this? Do you have any other delicious food in your house that you want to give to us?"
Hearing this, Li Yuanba immediately secretly praised in his heart:
"If you really feel sleepy, give me a pillow."
For a moment, the wrinkles on Li Yuanba's face melted away a lot, and he said with a smile:
"Xiao Bai Fairy Boy is smart, how about you two go with the officials and try some other food?"
"Your Majesty, I have something that I would like to ask the two fairy boys for advice."
Looking at the two innocent little guys in front of him, Li Yuanba said with a smile.
"I wonder what you two fairy boys think?"
Xiaobai looked at Xie Heng's small courtyard, then at Li Yuanba, his eyes rolled around a few times, and he said with a smile:
"Yeah."
"Aoki, let's go eat something delicious first?"
"Ah? Aren't we looking for our uncle?"
Before Qingmu finished speaking, he was already being pulled by Xiaobai and followed Li Yuanba towards the restaurant.
In the restaurant, Li Yuanba felt a little happy when he saw Xiaobai and Qingmu standing in the wind and the remaining clouds, as if they were reincarnated by Taotie.
"Two fairy boys, I wonder if these foods are to your liking? If there is anything else you want to eat, just tell me."
"Lord City Lord, you're welcome. These are already very good, no worse than those in Lord Jinguan's Mansion."
Aoki said, stuffing another piece of pastry into his mouth.
"That's right, that's right."
At this time, Xiaobai's cheeks were bulging, and the way he spoke was quite funny.
"That's good, you two fairy boys, eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll ask the kitchen to cook it again."
Looking at the two little ones who were getting carried away with their food, Li Yuanba asked casually as if chatting:
"Two fairy boys, seeing that you are eating so happily, I wonder what you usually eat in the Kunlun Fairy Mountain?"
"Ah? Oh, Kunlun Mountain doesn't have these things. There are only some spiritual fruit and fairy brews. There are no such variety of foods in the world."
Listening to Li Yuanba's question, Xiaobai answered subconsciously. However, the movements of his hands sped up a lot.
"Then you usually don't eat? Are all the gods like this?"
Li Yuanba suddenly became curious.
"That's not true. If you are a new disciple, you will eat some food before you reach the age of inedience, but the taste is not as good as the food in the world."
"But when you practice to a certain level, you don't need to eat anything anymore. You are basically practicing."
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
Li Yuanba felt relieved at this moment.
"By the way, Lord City Lord, why are you asking this?"
Qingmu on the side stared at Li Yuanba and asked curiously.
"Old man, could it be that you want to join us in Kunlun Mountain?"
Xiaobai seemed to have come back to his senses, stared into Li Yuanba's eyes, and said.
Looking at Xiaobai's clear black and white eyes, Li Yuanba felt a trace of panic in his heart. Then he calmed down, cupped his hands and said:
"To be honest, I have something to ask the two fairy boys for help."

In the room, Xie Heng and Monk Kongchan sat opposite each other.
The green smoke from the incense burner curled up, making the eyebrows of Xie Heng and Monk Kongchan slightly hazy.
"Brother Taoist, have you informed Senior Xuancheng about the tomb of the Emperor of Heaven?"
"Monk, don't be anxious. Xie has already asked his master about this matter."
"Oh? I wonder if Senior Xuancheng has any instructions?"
Hearing this, Monk Kongchan suddenly became energetic and asked a little eagerly.
"Master once used Xiantian Yishu to carefully deduce the secret of heaven, but the specific situation was not stated clearly to Xie."
"I'm just telling Mr. Xie that we don't have to worry about the matter of the Emperor's Tomb. He has his own arrangements."
Xie Heng glanced at Monk Kongchan and said calmly.
"Um?"
Monk Kongchan frowned, his face full of confusion. Subconsciously, he began to fiddle with the beads in his hand.
After a long time, his eyes fell on Xie Heng, and Kong Chan spoke slowly:
"Since Senior Xuancheng said this, I think he must have some considerations."
Monk Kongchan hesitated slightly and continued.
"However, the young monk wants to continue investigating."
Hearing what Monk Kongchan said, Xie Heng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly persuaded:
"Monk, do you want to pursue it? How? Do you want to find Tianxing Daozi?"
"Although Xing Daozi was seriously injured that day, the demon cult has always been cunning and unpredictable."
Xie Heng looked at the dull-looking monk Kongchan in front of him and said with some worry.
"Now that your cultivation level is only at the realm of enlightenment, how can you be the opponent of the Demon of Punishment that day?"
"It's better to go with Xie to the Imperial Capital of the Dayu Empire to look for that Rat Cang monster."
Seeing the concern in Xie Heng's expression and words, Monk Kongchan was a little moved. He waved his hand gently and said with a smile:
"Brother Taoist, don't try to persuade the young monk any more."
Seeing that Xie Heng seemed to want to say more, Monk Kongchan shook his head slightly.
"Brother Dao, demon cultists are inherently cunning and ruthless people, and Tianxing Daozi is one of the best among them."
"Although he was severely injured by the Spiritual Gourd before, his demonic nature is hard to eliminate. I'm afraid that in order to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible, he will definitely hurt many innocent creatures."
As he spoke, Monk Kongchan looked at the clear sky outside and sighed.
"This matter originated from us. Under the influence of cause and effect, if Tianxing Daozi is not completely solved, the young monk's Zen mind will be really uneasy."
"What's more, this demon even transformed Qing'er's body. If the young monk doesn't unravel all the causes and effects with his own hands, his thoughts will be even more unclear. I'm afraid he won't be able to make any progress on the great path in this life."
At this time, Monk Kongchan seemed to have changed. He was no longer as calm and peaceful as before. Instead, he had a faint edge that seemed to come out of his body. Xie Heng was also shocked when he saw this.
Xie Heng looked at Monk Kongchan and knew that Monk Kongchan had made up his mind and said nothing more.
"Since Brother Dao has made up his mind, Xie will no longer insist. I wonder, brother, when are you planning to set off?"
"Amitabha, naturally the faster the better. The young monk plans to set off early tomorrow morning after saying goodbye to all the seniors in Kunlun."
"Okay, then when the time comes, Xie will give Brother Taoist a ride."
At this moment, the voices of Xiaobai and Qingmu came from the small courtyard.
"Xiao Daojun, do you have anything to do with us?"
Xie Heng looked at Xiaobai and Qingmu's round bellies, couldn't help but stroked his forehead and sighed.
"Why are you eating again? Xiaobai, you have turned Qingmu into a foodie."
"I've met my uncle, I've met my uncle Kongchan."
Hearing Xie Heng's somewhat helpless voice, Qingmu subconsciously carried the roast duck behind his back and saluted respectfully.
Xiao Bai, on the other hand, looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. His eyes kept looking around, as if he didn't hear anything.
Seeing this, Xie Heng was helpless. Then he smiled at Qingmu and said:
"Qingmu Tong'er, my uncle has already told the master about your matter. The master is merciful and allows you to enter the Kunlun Mountain Xutian Palace to practice."
"Really?"
Aoki asked in surprise with wide round eyes.
"Yes. When the time comes, you and your master will return to Kunlun Mountain and worship directly under my senior brother, Taoist Qingchen, and become his disciple."
"Qingmu, thank you so much, uncle. Master's great virtue, Aoki will never forget it."
"Hahaha, okay, get up."
Xie Heng helped Qingmu who was kneeling on the ground and said with a smile.
Monk Kongchan was also very happy about this result.
At this time, Xiaobai was also happy and said:
"Qingmu, we can play together in Kunlun Mountain from now on. When the time comes, I will take you to Haiyundian."
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Daojun, just now the old city lord asked if his daughter Li Ling'er can also worship in Kunlun Mountain?"
Hearing this, Xie Heng suddenly frowned slightly. He also understood in his heart that the cause and effect in this world still came to his door.
Monk Kongchan looked at Xie Heng and sighed softly, closing his eyes and silently reciting scriptures.
