Chapter 82: Peace
Master Decheng stretched out his hand and swept the ground, immediately clearing out a bunch of debris that had piled up to the side.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan ran in the forest, took a deep breath, and ran in the direction of the fruit fragrance.
They looked at the red fruits on the tree and asked in surprise, "Persimmons?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan reached out to pick persimmons at the same time. Shi Zelan took a bite of the persimmon and said to Shi Xiaoliu happily, "It's delicious."
Shi Xiaoliu looked at the persimmons on the tree, and then looked at the persimmon tree not far away: "Sister Lan, the persimmons on this tree are left to you."
Shi Zelan nodded, she took out the basket, tapped her fingers upwards a few times, and the persimmons on the tree slowly fell into the basket. Soon the basket was full, and only a few persimmons with holes were left on the tree.
Shi Zelan put away the basket and went to see Shi Xiaoliu. Seeing him looking down the mountain with a serious expression, she followed him and looked down the mountain.
Five male cultivators were talking to two female cultivators at the foot of the mountain. Shi Zelan watched them carefully for a moment and said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Let's go. They look like fellow disciples who are out traveling together."
Shi Xiaoliu took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."
They quickly returned to the top of the mountain and told Master Decheng about the situation at the foot of the mountain.
Master Decheng sent a message to Master Shanzheng, and restored the top of the mountain to its original state. The three of them quickly disappeared from the spot.
The seven monks at the foot of the mountain reached the top. They smiled and said, "It's rare to find such a flat peak. We will stay here for a few days and wait for news from the front."
The two female cultivators looked at them anxiously: "Brother, what if they deliberately didn't pass on the news to us?"
"The Yun Yan Sect will definitely send fellow Taoists to check on the situation. Since there is no news coming from the front, we will go to the scene and ask fellow Taoists from the Yun Yan Sect."
"Brother, what you said makes sense."
A group of people started making a commotion, and those who went to another mountain naturally had no idea what this group of people were doing.
This time, Master Decheng found a cave, threw a fragrant pill, and drove away the bad smell in the cave.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan entered the cave and walked inside. They heard the sound of spring water. They turned a corner and saw the slope below the cave entrance.
The two men flew down directly and looked around the ground, but found no animal footprints.
They both felt a little strange and muttered, "It's such a nice place, but the animals don't know how to come here to drink water."
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Master Decheng said with a smile, "Did you raise your head to see what was happening around you?"
The two men quickly looked up and found that they were under a cliff. No wonder there were no signs of any animals here.
"Master (Uncle), do you want to come down?"
"No, you guys play."
Master Decheng returned to the cave, and Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan decided to go fishing. However, they walked along the direction of the water for a long time and did not see any fish.
The two returned to the cave in disappointment. Master Decheng smiled and said, "Go further down to the flat area, maybe you can see some fish."
"Master, if we go any further down, we're worried about running into people going up the mountain."
Master Decheng nodded and said, "You are right. We can avoid those who practice cultivation and those who are irrelevant."
After living in the cave for two or three days, Shi Zelan asked Master Decheng, "Uncle Master, when will my master come?"
"He will be here soon once he shakes off the monks following him."
"Uncle Master, after Master comes, do we have to move to another place?"
"As long as this place is safe, we won't move for now."
Shi Zelan nodded. In the past two days, she and Shi Xiaoliu were busy picking and digging things in the mountains. They were so busy that they ignored Master Decheng.
"Uncle Master, do you want to go to the cave entrance and take a look at the scenery outside?"
"No, I need to concentrate on my training these two days. You and Xiaoliu should take care of each other."
Shi Zelan felt that Master Shanzheng would not come back so soon, and Master Decheng needed to practice, so she discussed it with Shi Xiaoliu.
"How about we go to the nearby mountains tomorrow to have a look?"
When Shi Xiaoliu entered the cave, he asked for the opinion of Master Decheng. When he came out of the cave, he changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes. When Shi Zelan saw this, he also changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes with large flowers.
"Xiao Liu, am I filled with joy now?"
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and nodded: "Sister Lan, you are just a little thinner."
Shi Zelan touched her face and said, "I am just fine like this. If I gain one more pound, I will be too fat. If I lose one pound, I will be bloodless."
"There is a senior uncle in the sect who said that Uncle Beichen was very arrogant back then, and many female Taoist friends inside and outside the sect admired him."
“Xiao Liu, don’t believe his praise too much.
My father will return to the sect one day. If he is not as good as everyone says, will you be disappointed? ”
Shi Xiaoliu thought about it seriously and shook his head: "No. No one is perfect, Uncle Beichen will not be perfect."
He handed Shi Zelan a small backpack and carried a large backpack on his own: "The craftsmanship of the people near Shoushan Temple is really good."
"It's been a year, the incense at Shoushan Temple must be very popular."
"Shoushan Temple has been deserted for decades. Unless a famous monk becomes the abbot, it will take a year for the temple to be popular."
The only topic the two of them could talk about now was Shoushan Temple, and they just pretended to have forgotten about everything else.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went to a nearby mountain and found some millet. As they were talking together, they heard voices coming from the side of the mountain.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan exchanged glances and continued walking down the mountain. When they reached a place where people from the mortal world had obviously been, they stopped.
Shi Xiaoliu looked up at the surrounding environment and said silently to Shi Zelan: "They came without even trying to hide their identities."
Shi Zelan lowered her head to pick up chestnuts when she heard a woman say tenderly, "Ordinary people in the secular world are so pitiful. It's their luck to meet us."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan continued to pick chestnuts leisurely, waiting for the seven people to fly to them like spreading wings.
"There's a ghost!" Shi Zelan shouted with real emotion, and she even rolled her eyes.
Shi Xiaoliu supported her and said anxiously, "Sister, don't be afraid."
Shi Zelan pinched him secretly, and Shi Xiaoliu shuddered. He picked up two backpacks and protected Shi Zelan as he went down the mountain.
He muttered, "I must be seeing things. There are only good-looking monsters on a mountain this high.
Ah, ah, ah, sister, wake up. ”
Shi Zelan woke up: "Brother, I just dreamed of an immortal."
"Oh, did the immortal speak to you?"
Shi Zelan thought for a moment and said, "Did the immortal speak to me? But I don't remember it right now."
The seven people stationed at the hilltop saw Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walking down the mountain. They were not familiar with the secular world and did not dare to disturb the people there.
They turned around and flew away. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking how brave they were.
The two of them returned to the cave entrance and saw Master Decheng still meditating, so they went down to the mountain and by the water to kill time.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan stood by the water, and Shi Xiaoliu whispered to Shi Zelan, "It's probably not going to be peaceful these days."
