You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

On a snowy day, Shi Xiaoliu and two other people sat under the eaves drinking tea. They looked up at the sky and then at the closed courtyard door.

Shi Xiaoliu whispered, "Shall we leave the city tomorrow?"

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu nodded: "If our neighbors ask us about it, we will say we went outside the city to enjoy the snow."

The next day, Shi Xiaoliu and two other people cleaned the road outside the courtyard gate and cleared the snow on both sides of the road.

When the neighbors got up early to sweep the road outside, they found that the road had already been swept and the snow on the roadside had also been cleared.

They looked at each other and saw that the yard of Shi Xiaoliu and the other two was closed. The neighbors laughed and said, "They got up really early."

On that day, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two did not return.

Five days later, Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions came back, cleared the snow from their house and cleaned the roof.

Smoke rose from the kitchen roof. Shi Xiaoliu and the other two sat under the eaves. Shi Xiaoliu sighed, "This yard has trapped us."

Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Master Uncle said that we should stay in the city longer this time. What do you think?"

Xia Yu looked up at the sky, then lowered his head and said, "Then let's stay in the city for a few more days this time."

Shi Xiaoliu sighed and said, "After the New Year, we will give up the yard."

"Row.

Master said that we should proceed according to the previous plan. "

Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan and said, "Sister Lan, have you sent any news to your master these days?"

"I did, but I feel like my master didn't receive my message."

While the three of them were talking, the three Bundesliga players had already encountered the most difficult and dangerous situation.

The place where they fell was a desert. They could not use spiritual energy and could only walk.

They walked for a week and finally saw an oasis in the desert.

As they approached the oasis, they encountered an animal that looked like a hedgehog.

The three Bundesliga players' instinctive reaction was to avoid this group of things.

As they dodged, they saw these things suddenly grow sharp horns, and those things piled up to form a huge monster with five features.

Shanzheng Zhenren spoke at this time: "You guys step back, I'll try to use two explosive talismans?"

Master Shanzheng used an explosive talisman, and the huge monster immediately turned into countless tiny mosquitoes, which pounced directly on the three of them.

The Bundesliga real person crushed a pill to drive away evil spirits, and the air suddenly became fragrant, and the mosquito turned into an extremely huge shadow.

Taoist Qi Yuan threw a few stones around the shadow, and when the shadow was about to cover Taoist Bundesliga and the other two, Taoist Shan Zheng slapped a purification talisman on the shadow.

The shadow weakened and turned into an extremely huge stone mountain, directly blocking the way of the three Bundesliga real people.

Master Shanzheng sighed and threw three explosive talismans at the rocky mountain. The rocks shattered and the mountain became smaller.

The three Bundesliga masters became more alert, and then a miserable scream was heard in the distance. Master Shanzheng threw another purification talisman to cover the mountain.

"Alas."

The mountain disappeared all of a sudden, leaving only a pool of water.

Moreover, the oasis also disappeared, and the three Bundesliga players were still faced with an endless desert.

The three of them could only move forward. Master Dejia said to Master Shanzheng and Master Qiyuan, "We will take turns to rest at night."

Shanzheng and Qiyuan agreed with Dejia's proposal. They walked day and night for several days without stopping, but could not see the edge of the desert. In the evening, Dejia and his group stopped to rest, and they looked up at the sky.

Bundesliga was somewhat thankful and said: "Fortunately, the three children didn't follow us.

Have you sent them any message?"

“It was passed, but the message couldn’t be passed on.”

Both Master Shanzheng and Master Qiyuan sent messages upwards, but neither received any.

It was late at night, and Master Qiyuan had already fallen asleep. Master Dejia whispered to Master Shanzheng, "The curse on Master Zelan still can't be broken?"

Shanzheng Zhenren nodded and said, “Yes.

Originally, it was thought that she had succeeded in forming the golden elixir, and that the curse could be lifted during the thunder tribulation.

Now that I think about it, the curse is not just on her bones, I'm afraid it's also deep in her consciousness."

"Sister Lan felt that there was a curse in her consciousness?"

Shanzheng Zhenren shook his head and said, "Sister Lan lives a very pure life. The curse exists in her consciousness. So far, it has no effect on her."

"Hahaha, that person might end up losing more than he gains.

If this happened to a sensitive child, it might just ruin that person.”

"My master also said before he went into seclusion that fortunately Sister Lan's personality is like that of my junior brother. She must be a good child with great fortune."

"The personality of your junior brother's Taoist partner is indeed not as cheerful and broad-minded as your junior brother's."

After a while, Master Bundesliga took a break, and Master Shanzheng tried to pass the message to Shi Zelan again, but there was still no response.

Taoist Master Shanzheng remembered something, and he took out his sect’s unique distress signal and sent it out.

The next day, when the three people of Bundesliga continued to move forward, Master Shanzheng sent out another signal to move forward.

Master Dejia and Master Qiyuan looked at Master Shanzheng's operation, and they both sighed and said, "I'm afraid they can't come now even if they see it."

“There’s no need for them to come.

I just thought that if they were in despair, they would see the signal and know that someone from the sect had arrived, and they would have new hope in their hearts.”

After listening to what Shanzheng said, Master Dejia and Master Qiyuan nodded and said, "I only thought about finding them, but never thought that they could come to find us after we came."

Six days later, the three people walked out of the desert. They saw the short grass growing on the edge of the desert, and they were deeply moved.

The three of them soon discovered a problem: they couldn't understand what the locals were saying.

They could only communicate with the locals, and then find an inn and stay there temporarily.

After the three of them settled down, they came into contact with the locals, learned their language and their writing.

On the one hand, they tried hard to survive, and on the other hand, they did not give up any information about the missing person.

At this time, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two went out of the city again. After accompanying Master Decheng for some days, they were driven back to the city by Master Decheng to celebrate the New Year.

During the New Year, the city and its surroundings were very lively. Shi Xiaoliu and his two friends joined in the fun along with their neighbors.

I listened to storytelling in the teahouse, greeted and congratulated people in the courtyard, and went outside the city to watch and listen to the singing of geishas.

Just as the neighbors said, they could not understand what the geishas were singing, but they were still so moved by them that their eyes turned red.

After the New Year, Shi Xiaoliu and his two friends said goodbye to their neighbors and handed the yard over to the owner. (End of this chapter)
