The sun is shining brightly and the grass and trees are not withered.
The head of the Zhou family was teasing his grandson in the small garden when he suddenly slapped his grandson on his neck, stood up, and then turned around and looked toward the northeast with a surprised look on his face.
Sanshui City.
The city lord was discussing matters with a group of his men in the meeting hall when suddenly something strange appeared on the ground. He hurried out of the hall without saying anything, while two of his men followed closely beside him.
The three people came outside, their eyes intertwined, and they each ran to three different places. After a while, they all headed in the same direction.
Kushiye City.
Several elders of the Lan family, including the patriarch, were gathering beside an old tree at the head of the village, drinking tea and chatting. Suddenly, almost everyone was stunned at the same time, and then someone stood up.
, some stretched their necks, and some even raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
And the mountain city.
Sweetwater City.
Falling Eagle City.
…
In the entire Annan County and some surrounding cities, on this morning, all practitioners who had reached the realm of enlightenment, almost without exception, felt the large-scale surge of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Then, no matter what they were doing before, they all quickly put it down and immediately came outside, looking in a certain direction with different expressions.
…
Xu Yishan stayed in the state capital for some days.
During the day, he wandered around Fucheng leisurely. This city left him with too many memories. After all, he had said goodbye for hundreds of years, and many things in his memories had changed beyond recognition, but there were still some that still remained.
The way it was in the old days.
Xu Yishan shuttled between these changes and the same, his expression seemed indifferent and also seemed to be sad.
Apart from spiritual practice, in many emotions, this earth-level master, who is only one step away from the heaven-level, is not much different from ordinary people.
In the east of the city, there is a meat pie shop.
When he was a child, Xu Yishan was taken by his master and had a meal there.
Later, he went to a spiritual realm and after returning from practice, he went there to have a meal by himself.
This time, when Xu Yishan wanted to eat a pancake in that shop again, he realized that although the shop was still there, the people had changed. The two previous generations had changed their appearance.
Xu Yishan still bought a pancake.
Because of his noble appearance, the store owner prepared the best package for him with great care and diligence. When he left the store and took a bite, Xu Yishan couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
"My family has been making pancakes for several generations. Please rest assured, dear guest, everything will change, but the taste of our pancakes will not change!"
At that time, the old shop owner, who was already staggering when walking, heard him praising the taste of the pancakes and said so proudly.
Perhaps, in the hands of that old shopkeeper, this pancake has indeed remained unchanged.
But now, it has changed.
It's become a bit of a jerry-rigged job and a bit of shoddy material.
In fact, it has not changed much, and the pancakes are still good. This can be seen from the fact that there are still many customers, and the number of customers seems to be even more than before.
but.
There is no need to come here again in the future.
Xu Yishan sighed slightly, and then in his heart and memory, he crossed out a symbol that he had retained since his childhood.
While wandering around like this, Xu Yishan was actually just passing by.
The real purpose of his stay in the state capital was to spend more time with his master, and at the same time he also wanted to ask for advice on some spiritual matters.
But after asking for advice and asking for advice twice, his master seemed to be bored. He only stayed in the state capital for seven days, and his master began to chase him away, "Go, go, don't stay here, go back to your own home."
Now, if you really have any questions about your practice, ask your master!"
So Xu Yishan was kicked out like this.
When he returned, Xu Yishan did not take the official route again.
It makes no sense.
What should be missed has already been missed. Walking back and forth in the same way is undoubtedly a waste of life.
Waste does not matter, what does matter is that it is really unnecessary.
Xu Yishan walked directly southward along the Xiaoshan Mountains. This is the way for practitioners to travel!
Of course, only cultivators above the earth level can be so unrestrained. Otherwise, whether it is dangerous mountains and rivers, ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, or simply dense forests and fog, it can easily cause big troubles and even save a life.
It will be lost, and if it encounters lawless people who are also human beings, it will be even more dangerous and unpredictable.
But all these possible risks are nothing to Xu Yishan.
He is King Annan.
In the Xiaoshan Mountains, he is also the king of the mountains!
Xu Yishan did not go too fast. Many times, on a whim, he would climb many small mountains that he passed by. Then at the top of the mountain, he would either sit on a rock to watch the sunset or the stars, or sleep on his pillow with ice and snow, which was a unique experience.
But the distance between the state capital and the county seat is too close!
A journey of two to three thousand miles, even if it is replaced by a more complicated and circuitous mountain road, well, there are actually no roads in the mountains, but for Xu Yishan, it is still too close.
In just three or four days, he had walked more than half the way, and he was almost in sight of the Dongshan Mountains.
On this morning, Xu Yishan, who was standing on a peak overlooking the distance, suddenly froze and looked towards the direction of the east mountain outside the county city. Then, like a big bird, he walked southward along the ridge of the mountain like a big bird.
fly".
…
In the sea of consciousness, Xiao Xiu'er was still playing around.
And at a certain moment, she suddenly said: "Brother, I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to take a nap!"
Xu Guangling grabbed her and held her in front of him, then looked into her eyes and said to her seriously: "Remember! Xiu'er, brother is waiting for you under the pear tree! Don't forget it, fall asleep
Don’t forget it! Otherwise, my brother will beat you!”
Saying this, Xu Guangling curled his fingers and tapped her on the head.
Xiao Xiu'er shook her head and dodged, giggling at the same time.
"No! Xiu'er will never forget it!"
"Well, not even when I'm asleep!"
And following these words, her figure quickly faded and disappeared into the sea of consciousness.
…
Here is a forest of trees all over the mountains and fields. I don’t know how big the “mountains and fields” are, but it is a vast expanse.
But everywhere you look, there is only one kind of tree.
There is a kind of tree that does not seem to have a complete prototype in this world, and its name is the pear tree.
In fact, the scene here is almost a repetition of those illusions in a certain sea of consciousness before. The only difference is that there is only one figure here, Xiao Xiu'er.
Little Xiuer walked in confusion among the pear blossoms.
If you look carefully, you can see that her eyes are actually closed tightly. Her current state is a bit like sleeping or sleepwalking.
As her little figure walked step by step, the pear trees all over the mountains and plains were constantly changing.
Every time she took a step, many trees turned into shadows and then disappeared.
As she walked, gradually, there were no more pear trees all over the mountains and plains. All the pear trees turned into shadows and disappeared as she walked, with the exception of one.
And that tree, which was originally indistinguishable from other pear trees, had now become quite huge, and the entire tree was covered with extremely crystal white pear blossoms.
Xiao Xiuer was unaware of all this and continued to walk forward in a daze.
Her direction was exactly that pear tree!
Walking, walking, as the distance got closer and closer, Xiao Xiuer's figure began to become fainter and fainter.
Seeing that her figure was about to hit the pear tree, seeing that her figure had faded to the extreme, her steps suddenly stopped.
"elder brother!"
She muttered as if talking in her sleep, then opened her eyes.
As if her eyes were sleepy, she raised her two little hands to rub her eyes.
And after kneading for a while and letting go of her hand, she exclaimed, a little surprised, but very happy, "Wow! It's so beautiful!"
Just when her eyes widened in surprise, the figure that had become extremely pale just now and seemed to be completely dissipated at any time began to solidify rapidly.
