Li Mu rose from the wasteland, fully activating his divine sense.
Within a radius of 20,000 meters, apart from a few small animals, it was a desolate and uninhabited area.
He took out his compass, determined a direction, and then boarded his flying sword and headed south.
More than ten minutes later, when I looked back, I realized that I was in the center of a basin.
Li Mu, on his flying sword, controlled the speed and altitude of the flight. He needed to find someone to ask and determine his location first.
Half an hour later, he came across a large sheepfold and several nomadic herders.
The area is located in a low-lying area, which provides shelter from the wind and cold. There aren't many sheep in the sheepfold; most of them are breeding sheep and lambs.
Li Mu suddenly landed on the ground, where he was greeted by four large, long-haired dogs.
"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"
The dog's bark was loud and penetrating, making his eardrums bulge.
The big dog barked and charged at him, but under his death stare, it stopped its lunging motion.
"Aisalaam, Ailaikum".
A burly middle-aged man walked over and shouted loudly at him.
Upon hearing the other person's words, Li Mu thought to himself, "Oh no, the barrier has crossed over and I've done the splits."
He couldn't understand a single word the middle-aged man was saying.
Is this not Earth? Not China?
Just as Li Mu was wondering how to communicate, the middle-aged man spoke again:
"Wow! Young man, welcome to our home."
Their conversation attracted the attention of others, and the curtains of two ovoos were lifted and then lowered.
When Li Mu heard the other person speak in awkward and stiff Mandarin, joy spread across his face, and he smiled broadly.
After being trapped in China for over a year and going through many twists and turns, I finally got out.
"Brother! Hello, may I ask where this place is?"
Li Mu's question surprised the herdsman, who stared at him intently with wide eyes.
This young man appeared here empty-handed, which was already suspicious, and he didn't even know where he was.
.
Li Mu looked at the middle-aged man's questioning gaze and didn't know how to explain.
I was so focused on asking someone for directions that I overlooked the fact that I ended up in this desolate plain.
"This is Altay."
The herdsman's answer was curt and somewhat distant.
"Altay! The Western Regions!"
Li Mu casually took out a map and checked the map of the Western Regions.
"Brother, I'm done talking. I roughly know the location, so I'll take my leave now!"
He wanted to explain, but then thought better of it.
No matter how you explain it, it doesn't seem very reasonable; it's nothing more than covering up lies with lies.
Now that I've figured out I'm really back and I've found my way, it's best to just leave.
Unexpectedly, when Li Mu wanted to leave, the herdsman brother objected.
The middle-aged herdsman had a very long name. After repeating it once, he told Li Mu to call him Doliku.
Doricu seemed to have forgotten their previous estrangement, and enthusiastically pulled Li Mu along, not letting him leave, forcing Li Mu to stay.
Li Mu had never been to the Western Regions, let alone had any dealings with these herders.
When the simple, middle-aged man led him into the ovoo (a sacred cairn), his mind was still reeling.
They are a nomadic family, with more than ten people living in four or five ovoos.
A woman in her forties lay on the bed, her face sallow, supposedly suffering from a gallstone attack.
Li Mu sat on the sofa holding a cup of fragrant goat milk tea, while Doliku shouted loudly at the entrance of the cairn.
Soon after, two more men entered the ovoo: Doliku's father, Harik, and his brother, Azati.
Several people chatted with him in broken Mandarin, and he responded by guessing and answering.
He actually regretted not insisting on leaving immediately; he had been somewhat swayed by this simple and genuine warmth.
When a steaming hot roasted lamb was served, Li Mu's perception of these herders was elevated to another level.
He was just a lost stranger, yet he received such warm hospitality, and he felt grateful.
It was his first time drinking mare's milk wine, and the aroma of milk mixed with the stimulation of alcohol made him completely let his guard down.
.
More than a dozen people were gathered around a large brazier, eating large mouthfuls of beef and mutton and drinking large bowls of mare's milk wine.
In his carefree state, forgetting his identity, the past, and the future, a few bowls of wine ignited his heroic spirit.
As the wine flowed freely, Li Mu took Doriku's hand and channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into his body, completely eliminating the hidden ailments within him.
He then shook hands with everyone, drinking with them while tidying their bodies.
Even the woman lying on her bed, he remotely channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into her, curing her gallstones and other ailments.
On this day, all the men in the Doricu family drank too much, and several of the women also got drunk.
Li Mu, slightly drunk, left the cairn. A gust of cold wind nearly made him fall.
Mare's milk wine, blown away by the wind.
After using a mental cleansing technique, he used his internal energy to dispel the effects of the alcohol.
Back at the ovoo, seeing the group of drunken herders, he smiled and shook his head; it was time to leave.
If he hadn't experienced it firsthand, even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't believe that he had ended up in the Western Regions in such a muddled way, and even shared a meal of mare's milk wine with someone.
However, once he regained his senses, he did not regret having had such a brief experience.
"Brother Doriku, take care. I'm leaving now. Until we meet again."
After leaving a message in Dorik's mind, he stepped onto the flying sword.
.
Three hours later, in Jiangcheng, at the Li family villa.
It was already the end of the year, and Li Hongjun, as usual, sat in the tea room lost in thought.
He Hua was meditating and worshipping Buddha in the offering room on the second floor, while the nanny, Aunt Xia, was busy preparing dinner.
Li Xuan was on winter vacation and staying at home. Unexpectedly, Lin Hongluan was also at Li's house.
At this moment, she was like a good teacher instructing Li Xuan in cultivating immortal techniques.
After regaining her memories, she searched the world for Li Mu, but after confirming that she could not find him, she finally fell silent.
After that, she shuttled between Xiangzhou and Jiangcheng, back and forth.
Upon hearing that Li Xuan was on holiday, she rushed over immediately.
A trip to Africa not only restored her lost memories, but also restored her predestined love from two lifetimes.
Although she still couldn't figure out the karmic connection from her previous life, she firmly believed that she was Li Mu's Daoist partner.
That search for Li Mu in the snowy mountains was probably influenced by my previous life.
She almost lost a love destined across two lifetimes, and her regret had nowhere to be expressed.
She always felt she should do something for Li Mu, but didn't know where to begin.
It wasn't until Li Xuan was on vacation that she felt she should teach her the cultivation techniques.
Li Xuan was eager to cultivate, but unfortunately she had no spiritual root. A week had passed, and she still had no sense of Qi in her body.
.
Li Mu returned to Jiangcheng and, while still on his flying sword, used his divine sense to scan the Li family villa.
Everyone is here, and everyone is safe and sound.
Surprisingly, Lin Hongluan was also at the Li family's house.
Aunt Xia had just placed a dish she had prepared on the dining table when she saw someone rush into the house like the wind.
"Oh my god! Second Master, Mumu is back! Second Aunt! Mumu is back!"
Aunt Xia's shout was loud; she was also startled by Li Mu's sudden appearance.
A commotion erupted in the villa as Li Hongjun knocked over a teapot and rushed into the living room without a second thought.
Startled, He Hua lost her composure and misrecited the sutra. She then got up and left the offering room.
Upon hearing the call, Lin Hongluan's mind immediately conjured up the image of the person she had been longing for day and night.
"Red Phoenix!"
Li Mu's shout triggered Lin Hongluan's tears.
Standing at the doorway, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
