You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 348 He has many friends
The carriage stopped, and Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walked up the mountain. They noticed someone following them.

Shi Xiaoliu sent a message to Shi Zelan: "Let's go to the mountains."

"it is good."

The two of them pretended that no one was following them, so they turned from the mountainside to the nearby mountain, then went to the canyon and walked inward from the canyon side.

They both remembered that the herbalist had said that if they walked through the canyon, they could reach a small village in the mountains.

The two of them walked over there. They first used their spiritual sense to check the road, and then they walked naturally and smoothly all the way.

The people who were following the two of them saw them walk naturally onto a small path, then quickly turn around and head down.

Shi Xiaoliu passed the message to Shi Zelan: "Let's go to the intersection of the small village below and let him see the path we take into the village."

"it is good."

The two men quickly went down the mountain. The person who followed them stood on the top of the mountain and saw them walking towards the village path. He stood there and watched for a while, and saw Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walking further inside.

After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan turned a corner, they naturally hid behind a big tree, and then they tried to use their spiritual sense to observe the people who were following them.

After seeing him standing on the top of the mountain for a while, he turned around and left.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan waited for a while, and then they walked quickly through the village path.

It was dusk at this time. It was such a cold day and there were no pedestrians outside, which made it convenient for Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan to leave quickly.

When Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan returned to the top of the mountain, they stood on the edge of the mountain and saw the person who was following them walking down the mountain.

Xia Yu walked to the edge of the mountain and followed them to look at the people coming down the mountain.

"He just followed you all the way. Where did you take him?"

Shi Xiaoliu pointed in the direction of the canyon: "We went to a small village over there."

Xia Yu looked at the two of them in admiration: "You two are really good. Are there many young people in that small village?"

"I heard from them that there were 20 to 30 young people."

Shi Zelan went to look at Master Qiyuan's residence at this time, and she was surprised to find that the light seemed to have dimmed a little.

"Xia Yu, come over here and take a look. Is the light a little weaker?"

"Yes, at 5 p.m., I saw the light weaken."

After careful observation, Shi Zelan said to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu: "Our reactions during our future retreats should be slightly different."

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu nodded at the same time and said, "We are from the same sect, and the techniques we practice are roughly similar.

There will be some differences in the reactions during closed-door training, but the differences will definitely not be too big."

At night, the three of them sat on the roof and chatted, talking about many past events.

Xia Yu sighed and said, "I miss the days in the lecture hall. Life was so rich and beautiful."

Shi Zelan thought about it seriously and said, "I also miss the days in the lecture hall, where I could go and listen to the teachers' lectures.

Unfortunately, after I attended a few classes, the teachers' lectures became more profound.

Moreover, my cultivation level was low, so I couldn’t learn and practice after hearing it.”

Shi Xiaoliu looked at the two of them, thought for a moment and said, "I miss the time before I joined the sect, when I played with a group of people of similar age in the tribe, going up the mountains and down the rivers."

Late at night, they each returned to their rooms to meditate and practice.

On the second day, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two stood on the top of the mountain, watching people coming and going down the mountain, and then each went about their own business.

On the surface, the matter of the gold mine has been settled.

However, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two learned about the gold mine from the guards on the official road to the people hiding around the gold mine. They were afraid that there would be follow-up developments. When many people came down the mountain and started to dig a road up the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other.

The government officials went to the mountainside and looked again and again, and finally they decided to dig a road through the nearby mountain.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now there was a road on the mountain, and there would always be people walking on it in the first few years.

As for their current situation, the fewer people pass by their place on the mountainside, the safer the top of the mountain will be.

Digging a road at the foot of the mountain would naturally cause a lot of noise, so Shi Xiaoliu and the other two didn't go to the roof anymore. They just sat under the eaves.

Sometimes, when they are concentrating, it is often late at night when they realize that another day has passed.

There were many people on the road at the foot of the mountain, so it was dug quickly. When they reached the nearby mountain, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two set up protective barriers on the top of the mountain.

The exit from the back mountain was also directly closed.

Occasionally they would stand at the edge of the mountain and look at the people who were building the road, and see that they would also be looking into the distance at the top of the mountain where they were standing.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two stood at the edge of the mountain for a while, then went back to their rooms to meditate and practice.

The people who were repairing the road looked up and looked again, then lowered their heads and continued repairing the road.

The mountain road was difficult to repair, and it was snowing, so no one dared to speak loudly.

The soil was frozen solid, but they still dug hard.

Families with many brothers would take turns to repair the road in the mountains.

Officials usually turn a blind eye as long as someone is building roads.

The soldiers guarding the gold mine were aware of the hustle and bustle here, but they all remained silent.

The prefect came once and again. He was concerned about the progress of the gold mine and how much gold stock was left.

The deeper you dig into the gold mine, the more important the safety of the tunnel becomes.

What the miners meant was to open another exit so that if something really happened, everyone could escape in time.

After asking some people, the prefect passed the official document to his superiors.

When the New Year was approaching, the mountain road was half completed. After the prefect inspected it, he asked the people who participated in the labor to go back and rest for a while.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at the mountain road that had been stopped for repair, and they looked at each other.

Shi Xiaoliu sighed and said, "I really want to help them build a mountain road."

Xia Yu glanced at him and reminded him, "Brother Xiaoliu, you must not do anything that is superfluous."

Shi Zelan saw the smile in Shi Xiaoliu's eyes, and she said with a bad smile: "Xiaoliu, is it fun for you to tease us like this?"

“Alas, Xia Yu is still willing to believe what I say.

Lan Jie'er, why don't you want to believe me? "

Xia Yu glared at Shi Xiaoliu: "Okay, Xiaoliu, can we still be friends?"

Shi Xiaoliu nodded repeatedly: "Xia Yu, of course, I will never make jokes like this again when it comes to big things in the future."

Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, it's actually quite good for you now.

I remember that before you entered the sect, you were also a very lively and clever person."

Xia Yu was very surprised when she heard what Shi Zelan said, "Did Xiaoliu ever have a lively time?"

"Of course there are. Although I am younger than him, I can remember things early. I remember that he had many friends.

And they have so many different ways of playing with mud. Even with a ball of mud, they can play with it in many different ways."
