Wei Mian smiled slightly and focused again to explore the other side.
Under an oval stone, the tenacious grass emerged from the soil. Feeling the oppression coming from its body, it was not discouraged, but tried to adapt its body to the existence of the stone.
The branches bent and stretched out from the other side. The moment they saw the sunlight, the leaves of the grass shook, and then grew harder.
Even from such a distance, Wei Mian seemed to hear the sound of grass growing. Such a sound full of vitality would deeply touch anyone who heard it.
…
Wei Mian sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain and slowly closed his eyes. Liang Haoran was standing not far away. He vaguely felt that his master had entered a very strange state at this time.
She seemed to have completely merged with the mountains, you are in me and I am in you, and they could not be distinguished from each other.
Liang Haoran couldn't explain what this feeling was, but he always felt that it should be a very good thing, so he didn't disturb them. He just quietly looked at the clouds and mist in the distance, letting his mind go blank.
When he came to his senses and looked at his master again, he suddenly noticed something different.
The master's skin was being purified at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her skin was originally good, as white as jade, without a single blemish.
But now it is even better, like a newborn baby, becoming whiter and more translucent.
Liang Haoran felt that it was not an illusion. It seemed that something gray was gradually seeping out of his master's body, attaching to his skin, and when blown by the mountain breeze, it turned into dust and disappeared.
Without this layer of gray, the master's skin became more translucent and exuded a lustrous luster.
She sat cross-legged quietly on the top of the mountain, eyes downcast, and remained silent, like the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, unattainable.
Wei Mian didn't wake up until the next morning. When she woke up, she found Liang Haoran still beside her and couldn't help but smile.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
The master is still the same master, and his face is still the same face, but Liang Haoran feels something is different.
"I will protect Master."
Wei Mian just smiled when she heard that. She said softly, "Xiao Hei, do you remember your past life?"
Liang Haoran looked up at her. This was not the first time that his master had mentioned his past life. His dark eyes remained calm and he gave the same answer as before.
"Master, I don't remember any past lives."
Wei Mian didn't say anything, and she no longer looked at Liang Haoran. Instead, she turned her gaze to the mist-shrouded mountains and remained silent.
"Uncle Master!"
"Uncle Master!"
Zheng Hao's voice came from a distance. Wei Mian turned around and saw the boy running over panting and sitting down next to her.
"Uncle Master, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you all morning!"
Zheng Hao frowned and complained that the two men ran up to the top of the mountain without calling him, even though he had gone to bed a little early yesterday.
It is said to be a little while, but it is actually much earlier. Zheng Hao felt sleepy before seven o'clock yesterday. After finding a place to rest, he buried his head in the tent and fell asleep.
Wei Mian looked up at the sky and roughly knew what time it was. He simply stood up, patted his clothes, and walked down the mountain.
Zheng Hao followed behind chattering incessantly, and when Liang Haoran was the only one left on the top of the mountain, the corners of his originally tense mouth finally relaxed.
After a long time, an indistinct sigh was heard.
“…Remember…why bother…”
Before the New Year, Wei Mian was still in the mountains, and she called Wei Jingxing using a satellite phone.
Upon hearing that Wei Mian would not be going home for the New Year this year, Wei Jingxing told her to take care of herself. He would ask someone to send a truck of food and useful outdoor equipment over in the next two days, and asked Wei Mian to tell the digital department to find someone to receive them.
"No need, we have everything we need. Everything is fully prepared."
After Wei Mian refused, Wei Jingxing didn't mention it again. He chatted with her as usual and talked about her recent situation.
After hanging up the phone, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He sat there in silence and only got up and went upstairs after a long time.
Assistant Liu could only sigh upon seeing this. The gentleman had prepared so many things, and now that they were no longer available, he must be feeling very sad.
Wei Mian didn't notice that there was anything wrong with Wei Jingxing's mood. She kept walking and almost stepped on every inch of land in the Qinling Mountains.
The mountain was filled with rich spiritual energy, and they had even encountered animals cultivating here. Wei Mian had personally witnessed a giant python as thick as a bucket, only slightly thinner than the black dragon he had seen before, and it must have been cultivating for at least a thousand years.
That thing was very smart and even nodded when it saw them before sliding into the depths of the mountains.
This year has been a huge harvest for Zheng Hao and Liang Haoran. Both of them have become visibly more calm, and their strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
During that period, Chu Zheng came here once again. After seeing the few people, he looked them up and down for a long time. He was surprised but not particularly surprised. With the qualifications of these three people, it was inevitable that their strength would increase.
He even stayed in the mountains with Wei Mian and his group for more than half a year. Looking at the energetic young people every day, he felt younger too.
The following spring, I went to see the small dragon vein on the top of the mountain where someone had dug a foundation pit. Thanks to the repair of the talisman, lush plants grew on the top of the mountain again, covered with green skin, and there was no sign of the damage it had suffered a year ago.
Xie Shen carefully felt the vitality of the mountain and even felt that it was much more vibrant than before.
The places Wei Mian passed by had changed a lot. Some mountains that originally lacked energy and seemed lifeless, became full of vitality and flourished after she passed by.
In May, there was a heavy snowfall in Taibai Mountain. Some newly grown young grasses were nearly frozen to death, but because the vitality here was increasingly strong, they all survived tenaciously.
Xie Shen just thought it was a wonder in the world. Every time he saw Wei Mian standing on the top of the mountain with his sleeves fluttering in the wind, he always had the illusion of seeing an immortal.
Wei Mian also chose a place in the mountains to build a house. It was not a deep mountain and the transportation could be considered convenient. The most important thing was that this place was very suitable for practicing both life and spiritual energy.
She plans to come and stay here often in the future, or even live here permanently.
When she shared this idea with the people in the digital department, they immediately expressed their willingness to help coordinate. The next day, the approval documents were in Wei Mian's hands. They were even afraid that she would regret it, so they sent the construction workers along.
Xie Shen also said that the leader said that all the labor and materials for building the house would be borne by the government, and Wei Mian would definitely not be allowed to have any say in it.
Of course, there is a reason why the other party does this.
The biggest reason is Wei Mian's strength. Her contribution to the dragon vein and the mountain over the past year is obvious to everyone. With such people guarding the dragon vein, they are willing to hire them even at a super high salary.
But it is really hard to find a master with such ability, and the other party does not care about this little money.
Wei Mian was willing to build a house here on his own initiative, even if it was just to take a look at it, which was what they wanted most.
