The north is desolate. Even now, in the territory of the Holy Mist Sect, it is still scorching hot in summer and the cicadas are chirping incessantly, but in the north, it is rare to see any traces of green on the ground.
The immortal boat found an open space to land. After several people got off the immortal boat, He Kangle put it away. Only a small model of the huge immortal boat was left, which He Kangle put into his storage bag.
The place where the cave was born was on a high mountain. There were some disciples from the northern sect waiting at the foot of the mountain. When they saw the few people, they stopped for a moment and then came up to ask.
"Where are you from, fellow Daoists? Do you have any identification badges?"
The older one stood in front of them and asked in a rather kind tone.
"From the Holy Mist Sect, these are our nameplates."
Cheng Yu took out the nameplate and showed it to the two people who came over. They carefully checked the information on the nameplate and their smiles became even wider.
"So it's Master Chengyu and Master Kangle from the Holy Mist Sect. My apologies."
"Let me take you up the mountain. The path is very rough and if you're not a local, you might easily fall."
"In that case, thank you very much."
Cheng Yu bowed and thanked him. Even though this cultivator seemed to be only in the Qi training stage, Cheng Yu did not show any arrogance and still had a gentle look.
This gentleness is not pretended, but comes naturally from the heart.
Si Ruoyun looked at the monk curiously, then looked up at the mountains in front of him.
Looking from afar, the mountain is barren and all you can see is the earth.
Not to mention that there is not a single speck of green on the vast plains, even the mountain from afar is not green at all, with only the top faintly glowing.
The little girl shook her head and muttered, "The stone path is slanting up the cold mountain, and there is a house in the depths of the white clouds."
"Ayun is awesome! He has memorized another poem."
Si Lingfeng praised her in a very considerate way, and Si Ruoyun suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She could not recite much, but Zhu Cui knew a lot!
"There are no houses on this mountain."
The monk who led the way laughed and said, "This mountain was originally barren. The north is already sparsely populated. Who would dare to live on a barren mountain full of wild beasts?"
“It’s also fortunate that there are no people living here, and the cave was revealed, so no innocent people were harmed.”
"Innocent people are harmed?"
Cheng Yu keenly caught this word.
Si Ruoyun also looked at the leading monk curiously. Isn't it said that the emergence of the cave is a good thing? Why would it hurt innocent people?
This word she had learned was not a good one.
The smile on the guiding monk's face faded, he sighed, and his expression became much more vicissitudes.
"The cave emerged from underground. Back then, the barren mountain was split in two. What you see now is the mountain restored to its original state. If you had come earlier, you would have been able to see the two halves. Furthermore, on the day the cave was revealed, there was a heavy rain. The remaining vegetation on the barren mountain was wiped out by the rain, and even many of the wild animals in the mountain died."
"It's all murder."
Most monks have a compassionate feeling towards mortals, ordinary beasts, and plants. This is probably because they have left the mortal body and what they see are no longer ordinary beings and plants.
"ah……"
Si Ruoyun let out a cry and suddenly swallowed.
In Si Ruoyun's eyes, ordinary wild beasts are also on her menu. Although the little girl would feel sad because of the wild beasts, and would also feel sad tears flowing from the corners of her mouth because the meat was so delicious.
Once you get up the mountain, the road becomes much more rugged, with dead branches and leaves everywhere, and it looks like a desolate scene.
The monk who led the way continued, "There are few first-rate sects in the north. As soon as the cave was revealed, several sects in the north entered to investigate, but they lost a lot of manpower. Later, the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect arrived, and things got much better. We had no choice but to ask for help from all parties."
If they couldn't take up the entire cave by themselves, why would they bring so many people?
Originally they thought there were some good things in the cave, but instead of finding anything good, they lost many of their disciples who went in.
The mountain roads are rugged and winding, and every road looks the same. If there is no local to lead the way, you might really get lost in the mountains.
Of course, they wouldn't actually be trapped in the mountains.
Because if it really doesn't work, isn't there still a way to break through with brute force?
After one cut, what is left?
Several people followed the leading monk up the mountain, and after a while they reached the top of the mountain. When they reached the top of the mountain, Si Ruoyun saw the whole picture of the cave.
In the distance, among the layers of clouds, the outlines of pavilions and palaces can be vaguely seen. Outside the cave, many people are resting here, some sitting or lying, and some are chatting with the people next to them.
"Chengyu! I knew the Holy Mist Sect would send you!"
Si Ruoyun couldn't help but look at the person who spoke with curiosity. The person who spoke was a girl, dressed in a gorgeous red dress, and even her hair was a fiery red. She was very eye-catching among the black-haired monks.
The girl had a sword hanging on one side of her waist and a whip on the other. Her clothes were not like those of ordinary monks, but revealed two arms as white as jade.
Two golden bells hung on the girl's wrists, ringing as she moved.
"My dear disciple, do you see clearly?"
He Kangle whispered to Si Ruoyun.
Si Ruoyun looked at her blankly.
Then he heard He Kangle continue to say: "It's this woman who covets the eldest brother and competes with your master for him!"
Si Ruoyun: “…”
Ah this.
The little girl didn't know how to comfort He Kangle, so she could only take out a potato from her small bag and solemnly put it in He Kangle's hand.
"Master, eat potatoes."
He Kangle: “…”
Her apprentice might be a fool.
"I knew the Holy Mist Sect was going to send you, so I asked to come. Isn't that a coincidence?"
The girl walked up to Cheng Yu in a few steps and said with a smile.
The girl's eyebrows and eyelashes were all red, and her whole body looked like a ball of fire.
"What a coincidence." Cheng Yu smiled and nodded, "This is my new disciple, Si Lingyu."
"This is my junior sister Si Lingfeng. You have met Junior Sister Kang Le. The other three are her disciples, Ye Fan, Si Ruoyun, and Quan Ke."
"So you're the disciple of Taoist Fellow Cheng Yu." The girl looked at Si Ruoyun and took off a golden bell from her wrist. "Come, call me Master's Wife."
"Fellow Daoist Lie."
Cheng Yu looked at her helplessly.
"Am I wrong? Anyway, even if you don't like me today, you will like me in the future. I just asked her to call me a few times in advance."
Lielie said confidently.
She was an orphan. Because she was born with red hair, her parents abandoned her in the mountains. Fortunately, she was picked up by her master and brought back to the Wanjian Sect. Because of her pure fire spiritual roots, she was named Lielie.
"See? This is a shameless person."
He Kangle snorted and taught Si Ruoyun seriously, "Ayun, don't learn from her."
Si Ruoyun nodded solemnly.
Then, He Kangle snorted coldly, "Fellow Daoist Lie is so shameless."
