A barrier appeared on the snow, a transparent barrier that blocked the wind and snow from the outside. The warm orange talisman illuminated the surrounding space. In the center of the barrier was a wooden table, on which green plum tea was being boiled. The flames licked the bottom of the purple clay teapot bit by bit, and the water vapor spread with the temperature.
After the tea in the pot boiled, Xuan Yu poured a cup of water for Du Heng. The tea soup made from candied plums was slightly yellow in color and tasted sweet, especially suitable for a cup in the cold winter.
Du Heng took a sip from the cup, and the fragrance of plums spread between his lips and teeth. Xuan Yu asked gently, "How does it taste?" Du Heng nodded, "Very good."
Xuan Yu also poured a cup for Jing Hong, who took it with both hands: "Thank you, Long Jun."
Xuan Yu added water to the purple clay pot and said slowly, "Since you betrayed the master, we haven't talked so calmly for a long time." Jing Hong lowered her eyebrows and admitted her fault after a while, "It's my fault."
Xuan Yu said: "You don't have to apologize to me, Feng Gui and I are different. I know that love is a sacred object but also a poison, and once you get involved in it, you can't get rid of it." While saying this, Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng with gentle eyes. Du Heng looked back at that moment, and they smiled at each other.
Xuan Yu said: "I have seen Ji Qingyan, you have good taste."
Jinghong drank a glass of water and said, "A thousand years ago, Feng Jun sent me to Linhai City, south of Dongji Mountain, to pass on a message. When I arrived at Linhai City, I happened to encounter a demon beast rampaging, so I fought with the demon beast and was injured in the fight. After I defeated the demon beast, I found a family with the surname Ji in the city and transformed into my original form to recuperate."
Xuan Yu thought for a moment: "Linhai City? Linhai City a thousand years ago? But the time when the monsters crawled onto the shore from the Chaos Sea?" Jing Hong nodded: "That's right. However, the human cultivators and monster cultivators stationed in Linhai City cooperated well at that time, and the monsters were quickly suppressed."
Jinghong's thoughts flew to Linhai City a thousand years ago. She said slowly, "I landed on the tree of that family. I wanted to stay here for three or five days and then leave. But I was injured too badly and fell from the tree. The child of the Ji family found me and asked the servants to carry me back to the house and take good care of me."
Xuan Yu pondered and said, "That child is Ji Qingyan?" Jing Hong smiled and said, "He was not called Qingyan at that time. He was the most favored child in the family. Everyone in the family called him Bao'er."
Xuan Yu was silent, only Jing Hong said, "The child is lively, but has no playmates. He often talks to me about everything new and interesting around him. While I am recovering from my injury, I have a playmate. He will share with me everything he thinks is good. Sometimes it is wontons made by his mother, and sometimes it is a flower blooming in the yard. In his world, everything is good. He can even watch the fight of ants in the yard with relish."
Jinghong recalled: "Before I met Baoer, I thought that all the cubs were annoying. They only knew how to play and fight, and sometimes they would scream and cry. It was not until I met Baoer that I realized that there are actually well-behaved and cute children in the world."
"In front of Baoer, I can let down my guard. No matter if I am a bird or a human, he will happily follow me. As long as he calls me sister, even if he wants my feathers, I will give them to him willingly.
"But after my injury heals, I will return to Feng Jun to report. Although I like Bao'er, I also remember the burden I have. I left in the middle of the night because I was afraid that he would be sad. When I left, I thought that Bao'er would be sad when he wakes up and doesn't see me. I will come back to see him more often when I have time. Children have a short memory. Maybe he won't remember me in three or five days.
"The second time I saw him was a year later. A year later, I went to Linhai City again to spread the news, wanting to see what happened to Baoer. But I didn't expect that the Ji family had suffered a disaster, and the family was deserted. It turned out that a few months after I left, the monsters broke through the barrier of Linhai City and rushed into the city to slaughter ordinary people. The Ji family was not spared.
"I originally thought that I would never meet Baoer again in this life, but maybe it was God's mercy that I met him in Linhai City. He looked a lot different. He was white and fat before, and when we met for the second time, I almost didn't recognize him.
"His parents died on the day the monsters attacked the city, and he fled with the old servant. In the panic, they didn't have time to take anything with them, and the old servant tried his best but still couldn't support the two of them. When I saw him, he was begging along the long street. You know, he was so thin that only a bag of bones was left, so thin and small. He pulled my sleeve and called me sister."
Jinghong's tears fell straight down: "He smiled at me and asked me where I had been. He said that he had lost the barley he had left for me for a long time, and he also couldn't find the bamboo dragonfly he made for me. He said that he tried very hard to look for it, but he couldn't find his home, nor his parents."
Jinghong cried uncontrollably, Xuanyu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Jinghong. After Jinghong took the handkerchief, she took a long time to stop crying. She said with red eyes:
"Feel sorry."
Xuan Yu said slowly: "It's okay, it's human nature. What happened next?"
Jinghong said, "I placed Bao'er and the old servant in a house in Linhai City, thinking that I would make other arrangements after things were settled. But I didn't expect that the old servant had reached the end of his life. Not long after I settled them, the old servant died. Bao'er couldn't wake the old servant up, so he ran out to find me. But he was lost, and when I found him, he had been freezing in the woods outside Linhai City all night with a high fever.
"I fed Bao'er the elixir and unexpectedly discovered that he had spiritual roots. I am a person with few concerns, and Bao'er would not be well taken care of if he followed me. After much thought, I brought him to the monks stationed in Linhai City at that time. The leading monk stationed in Linhai City at that time was an inner sect disciple of Shenxu Palace. He promised me that he would take good care of Bao'er. So I handed Bao'er over to them and told them that Bao'er's surname was Ji."
Du Heng felt sad when he heard this. It turned out that there was such a tangle between Jinghong and Ji Qingyan. He poured tea for Jinghong and asked, "What happened next?"
Jinghong said: "Later, I was sent by Feng Jun to pass on the news. I only know that Baoer went to Shenxu Palace and was accepted as a closed disciple by the then Third Elder Ye Wenqiu. I think Baoer has a good destination. As long as he can practice, he can achieve immortality and have the ability to protect himself."
Xuan Yu nodded: "It's a good destination for him. Then what?"
Jinghong opened her mouth and said, "Two hundred years have passed since I saw Bao'er again. I went to Dongji Mountain to look for Yun Zheng and the others. Yun Zheng said that several cultivators were in danger in Dongji Mountain and asked me if I wanted to save them. I originally told him that it depends on their luck, but when I found out that one of them was Bao'er, I couldn't say such words anymore."
Xuan Yu said: "Was Ji Qingyan the only one there at that time?"
Jinghong shook his head: "No, he was with a disciple of Tianyi Sect at that time, and that person is the current Tianyi Sect leader Wang Muye. Baoer has a rare ice spirit root among water spirit roots. The sword technique he practices is called Frost Technique. This sword technique is extremely powerful. After mastering it, there are very few cultivators in the world who can compete with him, but it is very difficult to master it. Especially every time you cross a tribulation, it is a tribulation."
Xuan Yu wanted to say something, but he saw dozens of streams of light flying across the sky, coming towards them at high speed. Xuan Yu said to Jing Hong, "It seems that today's conversation ends here. If you have time, you can go to the dining hall to continue today's conversation."
Jinghong stood up and saluted Xuanyu: "Yes."
When Xuan Yu removed the barrier, the sword cultivators had already landed on the ground, and the leading sword immortal was Xu Changge. Xu Changge looked at Du Heng and Xuan Yu in surprise, and he wondered: "Yu Xuan Daoist Fellow, Du Heng Daoist Fellow, why are you here?"
Du Heng smiled and pointed at the lunch box on the table: "You have worked hard on the inspection, I brought you some food, if you don't mind, how about you finish eating before the inspection?"
Xu Changge wanted to refuse, but he couldn't help himself when he thought of Du Heng's cooking skills. He bowed to Du Heng and said, "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoists. We won't be polite now."
The barrier was set up again, and this time a wooden house appeared in the barrier. Everyone sat down around the long table in the warm wooden house. When they opened the lid of the wooden box, Du Heng was satisfied to hear everyone exclaim: "Wow——"
There were thirty-six Nascent Soul cultivators patrolling outside the barrier. They were divided into two groups and patrolled outside the barrier. Logically, these people were all Nascent Soul cultivators, but there was Xu Changge among them. Du Heng was a little confused: "Fellow Daoist Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Changge said somewhat embarrassedly: "Originally, it was supposed to be my senior brother who came, but he is in seclusion. Master asked me to temporarily replace him."
Xu Changge's senior brother Qin Yuze was also a genius. After practicing for less than two hundred years, he had already reached the early Nascent Soul stage.
Du Heng nodded thoughtfully: "I see."
Xu Changge said: "Yes, Master said that as the master's direct disciple, I should lead by example."
Xuan Yu nodded: "Your master is very strict with you, which is not a bad thing."
The smell of food lingered in the wooden house. The lotus root dumplings and snake chops were still piping hot. The monks ate them with relish while eating their rice and having a sip of soup. Their lives were so comfortable.
Coincidentally, Du Heng brought out exactly 38 portions of rice today, and after distributing them to the patrolling monks, he still kept two portions. Du Heng gently nodded at Xuan Yu: "There are two more portions of rice."
Xuan Yu immediately understood what Du Heng meant. He called Jinghong, "Jinghong, let's eat."
As he said that, he took out a portion of rice from the lunch box and handed it to Jinghong: "Eat it." Jinghong was stunned for a moment, then she bent down and raised her hands above her head to take the lunch box. Du Heng tried to stop her but failed.
The monks laughed: "Fairy Jinghong is too polite." Jinghong's eyes were red: "This is what I should do."
Jinghong opened the food box and saw that the things in it were no different from those of other monks. She turned her back and wiped away her tears.
At this time, footsteps were heard at the door. Xu Changge put down the chopsticks in his hand: "Another team is coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the cabin opened, and the monk in the lead was Xiaoyao Jian. When Xiaoyao Jian entered the door and saw Du Heng, he was stunned for a moment: "Oh?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "Look, I know you didn't have dinner, so I brought it to you. Are you touched?"
Xiaoyao Jian cried out and rushed over to hug Du Heng's neck: "Good Junior Brother, I missed you so much! I just told the brothers that we must go to your place to drink a bowl of hot soup when we return to the training ground. I didn't expect you to actually bring it to me!"
Xiaoyao Jian hugged Du Heng perfunctorily and rushed to the lunch box: "Let me see what we are eating?!"
The monks nearby burst into laughter: "Xiaoyao Sword Monkey is so impatient."
Xiaoyao Jian jumped to the side of the table and spat, "Before you say anything about me, spit out what you've eaten if you can!"

After the monks finished their meal, they had to continue their inspection. Du Heng packed up his lunch box. It was getting late, so he should go back and rest. When he walked onto the teleportation array, Jinghong was standing outside the teleportation array.
Du Heng wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. Instead, Xuan Yu said to her, "Go to the dining hall when you have time. You haven't finished your story yet." Jing Hong nodded, "Yes."
After leaving the teleportation array, Du Heng saw Jiang Shangzhou, who was crouching beside the teleportation array in a listless manner, while Yan Hui had disappeared.
Du Heng poked Jiang Shangzhou suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Shangzhou wanted to cry but had no tears: "I'm heartbroken."
Du Heng: ???
Jiang Shangzhou was about to cry: "Master told me to give up early." That would have been fine, but he and his master actually fell in love with the same person. How tragic that was.
Jiang Shangzhou asked Du Heng in grief: "This is the first time in my life that I like you so much, why did you get married so young?"
Du Heng was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground: "Elder Jiang, we can talk it over."
Jiang Shangzhou was like an eggplant hit by frost: "I can't get better."
At this time, Xuan Yu took out the last remaining box of food from the lunch box and handed it to Jiang Shangzhou. Jiang Shangzhou looked up at Xuan Yu suspiciously: "What are you doing for me?" Xuan Yu said calmly: "A gift to congratulate you on your breakup."
Jiang Shangzhou was so angry that he wanted to throw the lunch box at Xuan Yu's face, but Du Heng said, "The rice inside is delicious." Jiang Shangzhou's anger disappeared immediately, and he could only accept the lunch box resignedly: "Du Heng, you actually left some rice for me, that's so nice!"
Xuan Yu ignored Jiang Shangzhou and said to Du Heng, "Let's go home and rest. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."
Jiang Shangzhou held the lunch box and said to Du Heng: "Du Heng! Although the master told me so, I still want to give it a try. If this grandson treats you badly in the future, you can tell me at any time!"
Xuan Yu held Du Heng's hand and said calmly: "You won't stand a chance."
Du Heng was so upset that Xuan Yu saw his helpless expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Du Heng sighed: "I never dreamed that such a bloody plot of two men fighting for one man would happen to me. Ugh..." He was so sick that he got goosebumps.
It was already midnight when they returned to the dining hall. After washing up, Du Heng couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Xuan Yu gently touched his face: "What's wrong?"
Du Heng said: "I used to think Jinghong fell in love with Ji Qingyan at first sight, but now it seems not to be the case. She should know Ji Qingyan very well. Tell me, what is she trying to achieve by ending up like this?"
Xuan Yu said: "Maybe only Jinghong herself knows. Before coming to Shenxu Palace, I thought Jinghong was someone who would do anything for love, but now it seems that there seems to be another hidden story. Whether it is a human or a demon, everyone has their own secrets. We never thought about understanding Jinghong's affairs before, but now it seems that Jinghong's situation is not just her problem."
Xuan Yu's voice was very magnetic, like hypnosis. Du Heng found a comfortable position in his arms and lay down, his hand on Xuan Yu's chest. When Xuan Yu spoke, he felt a vibration in his chest.
Listening to Xuan Yu's words, Du Heng responded, "Yeah, who doesn't have secrets?" Everyone has secrets, he has, Xiaoyu has, Nannan and the others have too. Even Xiaoxiao, the most frank and innocent, will secretly hide things.
Xuan Yu asked casually: "Xiao Heng, when we find the Chaos Bead and the Slaughter Heaven Sword, where do you want to go?"
Du Heng thought for a while and said: "I want to go back to the village and live a good life." Strangely enough, the village where he had stayed for a short time turned out to be the most peaceful place in Du Heng's dreams.
Xuan Yu chuckled and said, "Okay, let's go back to the village. After we settle down, you have to take me back to my hometown to visit my parents."
After hearing Xuan Yu talk about the two elders in his family, Du Heng suddenly wanted to talk. He said, "Xiao Yu, there is something I have always wanted to tell you."
Xuan Yu touched Du Heng's long hair: "Well, what do you think?"
Du Heng said: "Actually, I am not from this world. My hometown should be in another world. I don't know how to describe it to you..."
Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng gently: "Yes."
Du Heng leaned on Xuan Yu's chest and said, "I am just an ordinary person in my hometown, with an ordinary family. My parents run a private restaurant. My family lived in the village before I was four years old, but it has been so long that I don't remember it very clearly. I went to Sunflower Kindergarten in the town, went to Zhengheng Primary School for six years, went to Zhengheng Middle School for three years, and was admitted to No. 3 Middle School in the city for high school. I was admitted to the provincial capital city for university, majoring in computer science..."
Du Heng wanted to summarize his life in his hometown in simple words, but all he could think of were these trivial things. It seemed that in the past twenty years, the places he spent most of his time were school and home.
Du Heng said: "My grades are not good, especially math. The math section of the college entrance examination is extremely difficult, and I did not pass it. However, I was lucky. Many people failed that year, and I barely passed the second-tier university. The major I chose for college was also a major I didn't like. I passed many college exams just by the passing line.
"In my hometown, I am extremely ordinary, and there are many of them. In terms of character, I am just like this; in terms of education, I only have a bachelor's degree; in terms of family conditions, it is lower than average, and my family has no power or influence. But my parents have a good relationship, and even if they quarrel occasionally, they will make up quickly. I am such a person who is not outstanding in any way among the crowd.
"My parents wanted me to find a job in a big city, get married and have kids, but I actually always wanted to go home and inherit the family restaurant. My parents are getting old, so I can stay at home to take care of them. Then I can find an ordinary girl, start a family with her and have my own kids. That way my life will be complete, that's what I always thought.
"But I just got my diploma. The day before, I went out for a farewell dinner with my roommates. The next day, I woke up in the world of cultivation. I became Du Heng, a errand boy in Medicine King Valley. My fellow apprentices and I were captured by the Demon Lord Yan Buhui and taken back to the Demon Realm to refine the Out-of-Body Pill.
"I don't understand what happened. Why did it happen to me? I don't have extraordinary talent or supernatural powers. I'm not good at literature or martial arts. How did it happen to me to travel through time? Moreover, the place I traveled through is completely different from those fantasy novels in my hometown. Other male protagonists are cool, domineering and awesome, but I can't do anything.
"The devil's chicken was so fierce. I was scared and hungry. I thought I was having a nightmare and hoped that I could go back home when I woke up. But no matter how I pinched myself, I couldn't go back.
"My father always told me that people should go with the flow and make their lives better no matter what kind of environment they are in. I am timid and afraid of pain, so I dare not commit suicide, so I can only survive in the world of cultivation.
"The Phantom Bead flew into my body. My brothers from Medicine King Valley were afraid of causing trouble and didn't dare to take me back. They told me that I had to run towards Dongji Mountain and reach the territory of the demon clan to have a chance of survival. Relying on the talismans and things they gave me, I didn't dare to stop and could only run all the way. I ran so hard that blisters appeared on my feet and I didn't dare to look down. I ran so hard that my legs were almost broken. When the sun was about to set, I dared to find a place to settle down.
"The Bigu Pills are really... terrible to eat. There are only eight Bigu Pills in the bottle that Senior Brother Yaowanggu gave me. After I took them, my stomach felt cold and hard, and it felt like I hadn't eaten anything. But even so, I didn't dare to throw them away. I only took one pill when I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it anymore. I was afraid that if I finished them too early, there would be no more left in the future."
Xuan Yu felt distressed when he heard this. He leaned over and kissed Du Heng on the forehead: "I'm sorry, I should have met you earlier."
Du Heng's face was cold, he wiped his tears: "Now when I recall the time when I first arrived at Taixu Realm, I feel only grievance and confusion. The world is so big, why me? Why do I have to suffer like this? Do you know? I still dare not look in the mirror, even though Du Heng's original body looks very similar to my original appearance, I feel that this is not me.
"The other day, when I heard Master talking about possession and possession, I was wondering, am I a possession or a possession? If it's possession, I don't have the ability to do so; if it's possession, then where did the original Du Heng go? Also, where is my hometown?
"I thought and thought, but I couldn't figure it out. Before I met you, I was scared every day, wondering who I was and why I came to the Taixu World. In the novels of cultivation, the male protagonist always has a purpose for traveling through time. What about me? Did I come to this world just to be hunted down?
"It was not until I met you and Xiaoxiao at the foot of Dongji Mountain and you brought me back to the village and treated me so well that I realized that I came here to meet you. All the sufferings before were explained, because you are here, and there is a meaning for me to come here.
"Before I met you, I always thought I liked girls with round faces and big eyes like my master, but after I met you, all the impossible became possible. You are so good, you treat me so well, everything I have now is given by you, and I even became your Taoist partner. Thinking about it now, it feels like a dream."
Xuan Yu kissed Du Heng deeply: "I'm not dreaming. Your appearance is the guidance of fate. I have been waiting for you for a long, long time. The first time I saw you, I knew it was you."
Du Heng laughed with tears in his eyes: "Xiaoyu, I often feel distressed because of my ordinariness and mediocrity. Sometimes when I see you and Xixi and Nannan, I feel like I am still in a dream. You have taken me to see many beautiful sights in Taixu Realm. The roads we have walked together and the memories we have left together cannot be faked.
"When I was in my hometown, the farthest distance I traveled from home was when I went to college. In today's terms, it was only a little over a hundred miles away, and it only took two hours by car to get home. But now, I have walked from the demon world to the human world. In the future, I can follow you to more distant places and see more magnificent and magical things.
"You helped me fulfill many of my unfulfilled dreams. If I was a simple and ordinary person in my hometown, now I have become a fulfilled and satisfied person! I am now grateful to God for letting me meet you. If there is any regret, it is that I can't go back to my hometown."
Xuan Yu gently wiped away the tears from Du Heng's eyes. He kissed his eyes and eyebrows: "I promise you, after everything is settled, I will take you home to see your parents."
Du Heng rubbed Xuan Yu's hand: "Oh, okay, then you have to finish the work quickly. My parents are ordinary people, they can't wait too long." Xuan Yu said solemnly: "It won't take long, don't worry."
311
Du Heng didn't get up the next day because he talked too much last night. When he woke up, the sun had risen. Du Heng opened the door and heard someone talking in the front hall. He hurried over and saw Qi Yushu sitting on a stool sipping tea.
Seeing Du Heng standing up, Qi Yushu stood up with a smile: "Daoyou Du." Du Heng's old face turned red: "Daoyou Qi, good morning."
Qi Yushu smiled and pulled out a blue-covered book from his sleeve: "This is a copy of the Immortal Life. Junior Brother Xu went on an inspection tour and asked me to pass it to you." Du Heng quickly accepted it: "Thank you, thank you!"
Jing Nan's eyes curved, "That's good now. We have the skills and swordsmanship. Our Du Heng will soon learn to fly with a sword! Xixi, you should put away the things at the door, so that Du Heng won't break them when he falls."
Du Heng squinted at Jing Nan, who looked over at him fearlessly: "Why are you looking at me? Who hasn't fallen down when they first learned to fly a sword? Isn't Xixi fine now after falling down all over the place?"
When Xiaoxiao heard his uncle fall, he rolled off the table with a whoosh. Fortunately, he flapped his wings quickly, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
Feng Gui looked at Jing Nan expressionlessly and said, "When Nan Nan was flying his sword, he fell into a stinky ditch. It was Xiaoyu and I who dragged him back."
Xuan Yu sighed: "Why laugh at a hundred steps when you can only take fifty?"
Feng Gui and Jing Nan immediately joined forces: "Xiao Yu rushed to Nanshan Mountain and got a bloody head!"
Xuan Yu looked at the two of them coldly: "I've got it in mind." Jing Nan and the others were not afraid at all: "Hey, are you something I'm afraid of?"
Qi Yushu was already grinning so hard that his mouth couldn't close. He pulled out a booklet from his sleeve and said, "This is some precautions I compiled for using the Wood Spiritual Root to control the sword. I hope it can be helpful to you."
Qi Yushu was too enthusiastic towards Du Heng, which made Du Heng feel embarrassed. He didn't understand. He and Qi Yushu had only met a few times, so how could he be so nice to him? Du Heng could only take the booklet and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qi."
Qi Yushu said slowly: "You can call me Senior Brother."
Du Heng thought of how Xu Changge also called Qi Yushu, so he said readily, "Senior Brother Qi!" Qi Yushu narrowed his eyes and said, "Hey."
For a moment, Du Heng felt that Qi Yushu really recognized him as his junior fellow apprentice.
In the next few days, Du Heng was like a headless fly, running around in front of the dining hall. Flying a sword looks charming and handsome, doesn't it? But it's really hard to control it.
A true swordsman should swing his sword more than a thousand times a day, and his sword moves should be fair and consistent with the same force and accuracy. Du Heng only swung his sword more than 600 times on the first day, and he couldn't do it anymore. His arms were so sore that he couldn't even lift them. When he was cutting vegetables at noon, Xuan Yu had to help him.
The Qingshuang Sword didn't look heavy, but after swinging it mechanically for less than a hundred times, Du Heng felt that the Qingshuang Sword weighed a thousand pounds. He also understood why sword cultivators were the best among cultivators. A cultivator who could swing a long sword must have gone through a lot of trials and tribulations.
Du Heng used to think that he was a diligent practitioner of the law. He would practice the exercises every day, and would not neglect the physical training and spiritual energy cultivation. However, after practicing the sword for a day, he squatted at the entrance of the dining hall and did not want to move.
Xuan Yu returned to helping Du Heng massage his body with spiritual energy. Du Heng felt Xuan Yu's spiritual energy flowing through his body, and he always felt like he was back to the days when he was beaten to death by Pei Zhu.
Wen Qiong asked Du Heng a question: "My disciple, do you think it is more painful to have your skin torn open, or to have your muscles and tendons ruptured without breaking the skin?"
Du Heng grinned: "Master, I think both of these are very painful."
Wen Qiong sighed regretfully: "Silly disciple, I can see that you are not yet in the right state. Let your master tell you the answer. Of course, it will be more painful if your skin is torn apart and your bones are broken inside!" Du Heng rolled his eyes. He didn't want to have a master who watched the show like this.
Even though he was disabled, Du Heng was still determined. Who would have thought that even though he couldn't even crawl, he could still stand in front of the stove and cook four dishes and a soup? And the taste was quite good, not losing the standard. Of course, he didn't move his body, he just used his spiritual energy to control the spatula, frying spoon and kitchen knife to cook.
If Xuan Yu hadn't felt sorry for Du Heng and hadn't asked him to serve food and lunch boxes to the monks, Du Heng would probably have stood firm until the noon and evening hours.
After a few days, it was the Minor Snow solar term. When Minor Snow arrives, it means we have entered the twelfth lunar month and the New Year is coming soon.
Perhaps this year's hard training laid a solid foundation for Du Heng, and he can now step on the sword and turn a circle at the entrance of the training ground. Of course, the worst fall was also at the entrance of the training ground, because a Jindan-stage cultivator flew out of the door without paying attention and directly knocked Du Heng, who was staggering at the door, down.
According to Jing Nan's recollection, Du Heng spun several times in the sky, and finally fell unconscious on the square like a dog that had eaten shit, scaring the Jindan cultivator so much that his face turned pale.
Of course, Du Heng denied it. He only remembered that he was knocked out and then lost consciousness. As for how many times he turned, he didn't remember and it didn't exist.
As the year draws to a close, more monks come to Shenxu Palace. Because the dining hall is close to the training ground, there are usually many people coming and going, but there are almost no people on the path up the mountain. In the past few days, monks are often seen coming and going on the mountain path. Year after year, they are not willing to go out to catch mice.
That afternoon, the sun gradually dimmed, and leaden clouds gathered in the sky. Du Heng thought it was going to snow, but Xuan Yu and the others said nothing after seeing it.
When Du Heng was sitting at the door of the dining hall applying hair-growing cream on the owl's head, everyone in the training ground came out. Gu Lingfeng called out to Du Heng, "Du Heng, the Grand Elder is about to pass the tribulation, you should move the dining hall away."
Du Heng: ??? Isn’t it going to snow? Move away? Where can he move to?
Gu Lingfeng said: "You can move to Shengu Peak. Elder Jiang said that he has reserved a piece of land for you. You just need to go directly there."
Xuan Yu rejected it outright: "We don't want to go to Shen Gu Peak, it's too noisy over there, is there a quieter place?"
Gu Lingfeng frowned, "This... If you want a quiet place, you can only ask if there are any familiar cultivators willing to take you in. After all, the area of the calamity cloud where the Grand Elder is undergoing the calamity is not small. Except for the cultivators who are guarding the formation for him on Shenxiu Peak, all other cultivators have left. The closer you get to here, the more dangerous it is. Many cultivators have gone to Shengu Peak, so you might as well follow them."
Xuan Yu still shook his head firmly: "Not going to Shengu Peak."
Gu Lingfeng said: "It's up to you, but once the thunder strikes, it will be too late for you to leave." After saying this, Gu Lingfeng hurriedly flew away on his sword, as if he was afraid that the thunder would fall on his head.
Du Heng was very depressed: "Are you kidding me? Mr. Ye really knows how to pick the time!" If he moved, how would he take the vegetables from his two vegetable plots? This was too sudden, without any buffer time.
Xuan Yu saw Du Heng's worry, and he said: "The vegetables are easy to handle, I can take them all away, as long as there is a large enough area for me to store the vegetables." If it really doesn't work, they can also transfer the vegetables to Du Heng's cave.
After the food problem was solved, there was another problem: where else could they move to besides Shengu Peak?
At this time, Xiaoxiao chirped and reminded everyone: "Chirp!" Xuan Yu suddenly remembered: "The place over there by Taishu Hong should be very big."
Tai Shuhong, who received the news, appeared quickly, his handsome face slightly flushed: "I have cleaned up the place, let's go." Tai Shuhong's voice was full of excitement. He looked at everyone expectantly and nervously, afraid that everyone would think he was being abrupt.
Du Heng said embarrassedly, "Excuse me." Tai Shuhong looked at Du Heng's pets with burning eyes, and his gaze fell on Xiao Xiao: "No bother at all, I'll help you move. Please everyone move to the side."
Du Heng was just about to tell Tai Shuhong that it was not necessary to trouble him and that they could do it themselves. But before he could finish his words, Jing Nan and the others dragged Du Heng to the mountain path in front of the dining hall.

Suddenly, the entire dining hall rose from the ground, including the foundation, and floated in the air. Even Du Heng's two vegetable plots were included in it! Without the dining hall, the ground was bare, leaving behind a shiny ground that had been shoveled.
Du Heng was shocked: "This... is really moving..." He had experienced the monks building houses before, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to witness such a moving scene. It was unique and spectacular!
The Yishan Hall rose higher and higher, and finally the foundation was suspended ten feet above Tai Shuhong's head. Tai Shuhong's small body supported the huge Yishan Hall, but he seemed to feel no weight. He walked in front with a breeze under his feet: "Let's go, let's go to the Beast Garden!"
Du Heng clapped his hands in shock: "Awesome." Is this the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator? Can he become such a powerful cultivator in the future?
Author has something to say: Tai Shuhong: I will help you move. [Pull up the foundation together]
Du Heng: It turns out that my previous moves were not called moving!
Lao Mao: We can create a special topic called "The Wandering Canteen".
