You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 524 Three Shadows Flashed By
When Shi Xiaoliu and the other two left the yard, the neighbors came over to look at them carefully and asked with concern: "Are you all right?"

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two said calmly, "We are fine."

The three of them walked away, but they could still feel the gazes of the people behind them.

As the three of them walked out of the city gate, they heard a commotion behind them.

They looked back and heard a group of soldiers riding out of the city, and someone shouting, "Close the gates."

The city gate closed behind them, and then the team of soldiers began to stop the carriages from traveling.

When Shi Xiaoliu and the other two passed by, no one paid any attention to them.

Shi Xiaoliu sent a message to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "We are walking normally. Something serious must have happened in the city."

The three of them followed the person in front of them, pretending to be in a hurry.

After they had walked for quite a while, a soldier came over on horseback and asked, "Did you see any suspicious carriages passing by?"

"Sir, we didn't see it."

Someone bravely replied to the soldiers, while Shi Xiaoliu and the other two lowered their brows in the crowd.

They walked forward until they came to a path, and everyone walked along the path without any prior agreement.

After a while, the person in front sat down on the side of the path and said to the person behind him, "You go ahead. I can't walk any more."

But the people behind them all sat down on the side of the road, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two also sat down.

Everyone was breathing heavily, and someone said, "I won't be going to the capital anytime soon."

"I shouldn't have gone to the capital this time."

Shi Xiaoliu whispered, "Luckily I left the capital early. If I were any later, I probably wouldn't be able to leave the city."

"What big thing happened in the city?"

“Oh, don’t ask.

Okay, I'm going home."

Some people rested for a while, recovered a little, and immediately stood up and walked forward.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two naturally followed, and the people on the path didn't dare to stay any longer and walked inside one by one.

Walk forward and you will reach a fork in the road, and naturally go your separate ways.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two chose a road less traveled by. After walking for a while, they naturally chose a smaller road that no one walked on.

After they walked along the path for a while, the three of them stopped.

Shi Xiaoliu said seriously, "Should we stay in a nearby town for a few days and listen to the news from the capital?"

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu both agreed with Shi Xiaoliu's opinion. After discussing it, the three of them decided to go forward and then turn to the official road.

On the deserted path, their figures naturally drifted forward.

At noon, they were already walking on the official road closest to the capital city. They looked dusty and exhausted, just like every other traveler.

As the three of them were on their way, they also listened carefully to the voices of people leaving the city.

"Do you feel that the atmosphere in the city today is very strange?"

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two heard what the people in the passing carriage said at the same time, and also heard someone whispered a warning: "Don't talk nonsense outside, we have already left anyway."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two exchanged glances and then walked along the path beside the road.

"Xiao Liu, let's move forward."

"it is good."

The three of them continued walking along the path. As it got dark, they reached the top of a mountain.

At the top of the mountain, the three of them sat on Shi Zelan's roof and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Shi Xiaoliu sighed softly: "I am a little worried that the secular world is not peaceful."

"Xiao Liu, we can't interfere with the cause and effect of the mortal world."

"I know.

But the secular world is not peaceful, so our cultivation world may not always be peaceful." "Xiao Liu, what news have you heard?"

Shi Zelan sat up suddenly and looked at the two people lying in the distance.

Shi Xiaoliu raised his head and looked at Shi Zelan, then patted her down and signaled, "Lie down.

I can hear what news I have, and I am making reasonable inferences.”

"Oh."

Shi Zelan lay down at once and said, "That's good. We still have time to recuperate."

“Kyushu cannot be in chaos.

Shall we find a nearby town to stay in for a few days?"

"it is good.

I hope this is just our unfounded worry.”

Unfortunately, the sound of a rapid march on the official road not far away in the middle of the night shattered the fantasies of the three of them.

After sitting on the roof for a while in the middle of the night, the three of them decided to temporarily live on the top of the mountain for a few days.

No matter where they go now, they will attract some people's attention. It is better for them to stay on the top of the mountain and observe the changes in the situation below.

The next day, when the sky was bright, they moved to a mountain near the official road and rested temporarily at the top of the mountain.

They set up a protective barrier on the top of the mountain and a concealed area on the road near the top of the mountain.

Afterwards, the three of them returned to the room to meditate and practice, and when it was evening, they left the room.

After the three of them looked at each other, Shi Xiaoliu asked, "How about we go back to the mountaintop where we used to live?"

"it is good.

Maybe you can see Kunlun Mountain from there."

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu agreed with Shi Xiaoliu's decision, but they wanted to wait a little longer. They wanted to hear the news after the truth of the situation in the capital was revealed.

They lived on the top of the mountain for some days and heard the sound of hurried marching on the official road.

A week later, they heard the sound of marching in different directions again. The three of them put on invisibility talismans and went to the official road, where they saw teams of soldiers heading towards the border town.

Shi Zelan's eyes were filled with worry. She whispered to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, "Let's go back and pack our things and follow them forward, okay?"

"it is good."

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu agreed with Shi Zelan's proposal. The three of them quickly returned to the top of the mountain, packed up their things, and withdrew all the barriers.

When they rushed down the mountain, the soldiers had already gone far away. Three officers on horseback shouted, "Make way, make way.

The new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty. "

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two stopped involuntarily. Shi Xiaoliu sent a message to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "Should we continue to move forward?"

The three of them retreated back to the path, looked at each other, and Xia Yu said, "We won't go, the overall situation in the world has been decided.

Let’s go to the top of the mountain where we stayed before.

I miss that place now, and I don’t know what’s happening with the gold mine.”

"it is good."

Shi Zelan agreed happily: "I want to go to the bottom of the valley and take a look."

Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Then let's go, maybe we can see the appearance of Kunlun Mountain."

The three of them looked at each other, then smiled and turned into the small road. They still liked to run forward freely.

Three shadows flashed by on the deserted mountain road.

When it rains, someone exclaims: "It's raining, it seems like someone is walking ahead, let's make way."

On a sunny day, Xia Yu drove a carriage on the official road. In the carriage, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you wanted to hear something new in the secular world?"

"Yeah, then shall we go to the town ahead and stay there for two days?"
