You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Five days later, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan closed the external access of Shijiazhuang.

They also used their spiritual plant skills to cover the road, thus blocking wave after wave of people who came to look for Shijiazhuang.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan stood on the top of the mountain, saw the people on the road on the mountain, and heard their puzzled questions.

"Where is Shijiazhuang?
Where is the road?

People from the government also said that there was a road leading to Shijiazhuang from this official road.

I walked back and forth for two days but couldn’t find the way to Shijiazhuang.”

"I've been to Shijiazhuang twice. Originally there was a road leading in from here, but this time, I can't see the road leading in."

Someone tried to open a new path, but as soon as he walked, his feet were entangled by weeds.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan stayed on the top of the mountain for half a month. Only when they saw that fewer people were looking for Shijiazhuang did they leave with peace of mind.

The flying boat flew forward, and someone in the jungle sent out a distress signal.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked down, and Shi Xiaoliu frowned and said, "Sister Lan, someone has discovered our whereabouts."

Shi Zelan controlled the flying boat and continued to fly forward: "Oh."

In the forest, two people saw a ray of light passing through the sky and jumped up in surprise.

“Doesn’t the Yunyan Sect claim to be a righteous sect?
They clearly spotted our distress signal, but they just flew past it like this."

"Senior Sister, do we still want to follow?"

“No more.

The head of the sect said that the matter of the master has nothing to do with the Yunyan Sect."

"Senior Sister, I heard from them that it was because our master first dealt with the people of Yunyan Sect that the exchanges between our two sects became cold."

"Humph, it was the people of Yunyan Sect who betrayed us first. Master was just impulsive and did something not very good."

"Senior sister, let's go back."

"Junior brother, Master is very good to me."

“Senior sister,…”

“Okay, let’s go.

They were just about to come down to check out the situation. I think highly of the people from Yun Yan Zong."

"Senior sister, if it were you, you wouldn't just come down to check the situation."

After the flying boat passed, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked back at where they had come from and found that the atmosphere in that mountain forest was peaceful.

Shi Xiaoliu sneered: "You are just showing off your tricks in front of us."

Shi Zelan looked at her and said, "Xiao Liu, did you hear some unpleasant gossip in the manor and make you unhappy?"

Shi Xiaoliu fell silent, and Shi Zelan advised him: "Xiaoliu, we have closed the passage leading to the outside of the manor, which has caused some inconvenience to their lives."

"Sister Lan, do you think I'm being too nosy?"

Shi Zelan shook her head: "Although everyone says that life and death are determined by fate.

But I can't just sit there and watch someone come to kill me, I can't just do nothing.

Having heard and seen it, we always have to make some defensive preparations.

We closed the external channels and set a time limit of twenty years.

Twenty years later, the people in the village can decide for themselves whether to open the passage to the outside world. "

The flying boat never stopped and kept flying towards the wind direction.

They went to the wind vent, and when the people in the Dharma Hall saw the two of them, their faces were filled with happy smiles.

They laughed and said, "The master has come out of seclusion."

"The headmaster has come out of seclusion, that's great.

Hahaha.

The headmaster has taken over the affairs of the sect." The disciples of the Dharma Hall saw the happy smile on Shi Zelan's face and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Senior Sister Zelan, I heard that you have a very good relationship with the headmaster Wen Dai."

"Master Wen is a good man."

Shi Zelan agreed with the words of the disciples of the Dharma Hall, but she said to them: "Junior brother, when I was young, I often accompanied my master to see the head of the sect."

The disciple of the Dharma Hall suddenly remembered Shi Zelan's identity. He looked at Shi Zelan and asked, "Do you want to go back to the sect to see the headmaster?"

Shi Zelan just looked at the disciples in the Dharma Hall, and he immediately explained: "Senior sister, I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else."

Shi Zelan nodded. She asked about the situation at the Fengkou with concern. The disciple of the Dharma Hall said seriously, "We think we must leave someone to guard the Fengkou."

"Do you have enough manpower?"

"Our hall master will make proper arrangements."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan returned to the other side of the river and met Xia Yu.

They looked around in surprise and asked Xia Yu curiously, "Are you the only one here?"

Xia Yu laughed: "Now that I'm here, they can just go in and take a look."

Xia Yu talked about some recent news, and he whispered, "I think the people in the Dharma Hall are on guard against us."

"Are they worried we might dig a tunnel?"

Xia Yu nodded at Shi Zelan and said, "I originally wanted to guard the wind outlet with them, but after they gently dissuaded me, I came to the other side of the river.

It just so happened that my fellow brothers from Zhishitang also wanted to take part, so I took on this job for Zhishitang and also for you.

Do you have any other opinions?"

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan immediately shook their heads: "No.

This place is close to the wind outlet, so if anything happens, we can rush there first."

Xia Yu pointed to a place for Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "We can only move around in this area. People from the secular world are coming and going in other places."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walked over to take a look at the shed and said to Xia Yu, "Is this your shed?"

"It's mine. Their shed has been put away."

Shi Zelan looked around and said to Xia Yu with a smile, "It's pretty good. I haven't lived down the mountain for a long time."

The three of them sat inside the shed, and Xia Yu asked about Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan's situation outside.

After he heard about the incident at Shijiazhuang, he sighed and said, "Our Xia family stopped interacting with the secular world several generations ago because of similar things.

People’s hearts are complicated.”

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded thoughtfully, and Shi Xiaoliu whispered, "I thought I had chosen the safest path for them.

As a result, they complained to us a lot, wondering why we couldn't always protect their safety?

Why did we make the decision to cut off their contact with the outside world?"

Xia Yu looked at the calm expression on Shi Zelan's face and asked, "Sister Lan, are you not angry?"

“I’m not angry.

When I was a child, I lived in the village. Some people treated me kindly, while others were suspicious of me. I did not have high expectations of my people. "

“I don’t have high expectations for my tribe members. I just didn’t expect some elders to agree with our decision in front of me.

But he privately complained to his family that we were not capable enough to keep them safe and sound. "

"puff.

Xiaoliu, how could you eavesdrop on other people's conversations? "

"I don't want to either. It was the clan leader who said that this elder is upright and honest, and is someone we can discuss important matters with."

"Has the clan leader heard the private gossips of the clan elders?"

Shi Xiaoliu shook his head: "Because of the courtyard door, the clan leader can't hear what the clan elders say.

The clan leader and the clan elders have a deep relationship after years of getting along, and the clan elders only complained to their family members in private. "(End of this chapter)
