You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

This time, Shi Beichen, the head of the Dharma Hall, and the head of the Administrative Hall came.

When they came, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two showed them what they had done in the past year.

After they looked at it, they pondered for a moment and suddenly realized: "So that's it, it's just shifted in position."

They went down the cave to check the situation, and after coming out, they proved that Shi Xiaoliu and the other two had not heard wrongly, and they had indeed dug a passage.

Shi Beichen and his team once again set up a trick to hide the nearby mountains.

The mountains disappeared from the eyes of the mortals, thus attracting many people to come and inquire about the news.

Shi Beichen and his group watched them wandering around the mountainside and were a little worried at first.

Later, as I saw them coming and going, I gradually stopped taking it to heart.

After Shi Beichen discussed with the two hall masters, they decided to dig through this passage.

They sent a message to the sect, and soon, they received a reply.

The sect agreed with their opinion, but asked them to ensure the safety of the people in the surrounding mortal world.

Shi Xiaoliu and two other people proposed to go down together to dig a tunnel, but were rejected by Shi Beichen and the two hall masters.

The three of them went down to dig a tunnel, while Shi Xiaoliu and the other two protected the safety of the people around them.

After Shi Beichen and the other two went down, they still uploaded some messages at first. Then one day, they didn't upload any messages for a long time.

The sky suddenly darkened, and soon thunder rumbled, followed by lightning moving towards the wind outlet.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two watched the lightning strike towards the dug hole. They wanted to run over but stopped.

After the first thunder tribulation disappeared, the three of them finally received news.

"You three should avoid the area of ​​thunder and lightning, and guard the upper part. We are here below."

After receiving the news, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two felt a little relieved and they stepped back.

When the second lightning struck, they saw the soil at the entrance of the cave rolling up.

In the gap left by the third lightning bolt, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two ran over and cleaned up the area around the cave entrance.

Thunder struck down one after another, and finally six thunders struck down in succession, without giving Shi Xiaoliu and the other two any chance to react.

After nine lightning strikes, the entrance to the cave was completely blocked by mud.

The sky suddenly cleared up at this time. Shi Xiaoliu and the other two didn't have time to think too much and ran directly to the cave entrance. The three of them used some magic spells to clean the mud at the cave entrance.

They looked at the dirt that had been lifted up to the edge of the cave and called out tentatively, "Uncle Master, Father (Uncle Master)?"

"nothing."

After a long time, such a reply came from below, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The dirt above the cave entrance had been cleared, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two originally wanted to clear the passage downwards.

The head of the Dharma Hall said, "You three stay up there, we'll go down and check the route.
We have already set up three protective formations, so you don't need to come down."

"Uncle Master, Father."

Shi Zelan exclaimed, and Shi Beichen quickly replied: "Sister Lan, let's go down and take a look at the situation. If the situation is smooth, we will be back soon.

If we don't return in half a year, please inform the sect and we will go to pick up the missing disciples on the way."

"Uncle Master, Father, Uncle Master."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two took turns calling out several times, but there was no news from below, so the three of them quickly passed the message to the sect.

Shi Zelan soon received a message from Lou Xueyu, who was trying to find out about Shi Beichen. Shi Zelan told her that Shi Beichen and she were not together.

Ten days later, Lou Xueyu and the people from the sect rushed to Fengkou. She heard that Shi Beichen and the two hall masters had not returned.

She looked at Shi Zelan at the time: "Sister Lan, why didn't you stop your father?"

"Mother, I can't stop father."

Lou Xueyu was so angry that her face turned red. Shi Zejiao hurriedly said, "Senior Sister, is there a place here where we can rest for a while?"

Shi Zelan pointed to the shed beside the vent and said, "We have been meditating and practicing in the shed these days, instead of guarding the cave entrance."

"Mother, I'll go sit in the shed with you."

Shi Zejiao helped Lou Xueyu to the shed, and Shi Xiaoliu whispered to Shi Zelan, "When Auntie calms down, I'll go and explain to her."

Shi Zelan shook her head at him: "She knows everything in her heart, you don't need to explain anything to her."

On the second day, after Lou Xueyu calmed down, she went to the bottom of the cave with the people from the sect. After she came back, she was silent for several days.

Ten days later, she returned with the sect members. When they were about to board the spaceship, she said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, mother has no intention of taking her anger out on you."

She stuffed something into Shi Zelan's hand and said, "This is the hairpin magic weapon your father made for you. Keep it."

Shi Zelan took the hairpin, looked at the exquisite hairpin, and said to Lou Xueyu: "Mother, I will wait at the wind's edge."

"No, if there are other people guarding the wind vent and you want to go down to the river to check the situation, you can go too."

After Lou Xueyu left, Shi Xiaoliu comforted Shi Zelan: "My mother and I haven't seen each other for many years, and we were awkward at first.

But later when I was leaving, my mother and I were reluctant to leave."

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Lan, fortunately, Senior Xueyu is not the kind of woman who nags all the time."

Shi Zelan glanced at Xia Yu unhappily: "My mother is not the kind of person that Xia Shisan is. She has a righteous heart."

Shi Xiaoliu nodded in agreement: "Aunt is quite generous. Except for the first day she came, when she was not very nice to Lan Jie'er, she has been nice to her all other times."

"Your junior sister is not the petty person they say she is. I think she respects you very much."

After the three of them talked for a while, they stood around the cave entrance and looked at it for a long time.

"Xiao Liu, Xia Yu, we have erected the mountain again, and those strange winds have not come back."

"I used to think it was because the mountain was flattened, but now I think it was probably the backlash of the ancient formation."

"Does this mean that the heavens here have accepted the mountain we rebuilt?"

"Let's wait and see. Wait until the formation is activated for a few days and then we'll see the results."

A year later, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two sent a message to the sect, expressing their intention to investigate the bottom of the river.

They soon waited for the disciples of Zhishitang who were stationed at the wind outlet. After they met, they felt quite close to each other.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two explained to them in detail some changes in the mountain and the wind vents, as well as some of the conditions in the cave.

After the disciples of Zhishitang took over the task of guarding the windward side, they also told Shi Xiaoliu and the other two about some arrangements of the sect.

The sect will make a decision on whether or not to station guards on the river bank after Shi Xiaoliu and the other two have explored the situation at the bottom of the river.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two expressed their understanding. They chose to go into the water at night, and a disciple from the Governor's Hall followed them.

He saw Shi Xiaoliu and the other two dive into the water, and when it was almost dawn, he returned to the windward side. (End of this chapter)
