Seeing that Yu Xiao was not very upright, the disciple couldn't help rolling his eyes and said nothing more. He simply followed his wishes and replied indifferently: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I can only wish you good luck. Do you want to get closer to Luoxia Peak or farther away."

"Is there any difference?" Yu Xiao was here to patrol the hall for the first time and did not know much about the disciples guarding the mountain.

"The difference is not big. It's just the length of time to go back and forth between Luoxia Peak. If you want to communicate more with your fellow disciples, then choose an area near Luoxia Peak. If you want to be quiet and not disturbed, then choose a place away from Luoxia Peak." The disciple replied.

After careful consideration, Yu Xiao chose a place far away from Luoxia Peak. He didn't know anyone in the Fuguang Sect. He usually practiced alone, but he became accustomed to quietness.

After taking on the task of guarding the mountain disciple, Yu Xiao received the chore token from the patrol hall, took out the jade slip marked with the place to scan it, and then headed straight to the area where he was responsible for guarding.

After leaving Luoxia Peak, Yu Xiao rode Yanquan and flew northwest for more than two hours before he reached the target location, which was a lush and dangerous place with mountains and rivers.

According to the signs on the map, there are 12 mountains of all sizes in this area, and the tallest one is called Yewang Peak. From today on, he will have to live here in the next year.

For such chores, it is obvious that the sect will not be able to build a luxurious wooden house for you in the deep mountains and forests. Basically, they use the ground as the bed and the sky as the quilt, or the mountain guards can exert their subjective initiative and build their own residence.

Yu Xiao summoned a small bronze sword and dug a large hole on the flat cliff wall of Yewang Peak. After cleaning up the gravel, he casually decorated it and the simple cave was built.

Just as he had finished tidying up the cave, he suddenly sensed something and looked southeast, but saw a light coming towards him and approaching in a short while.

The person who came was a man of twenty-five or six years old, with a hint of heroic spirit between his eyebrows. Before he could stop, a hearty laughter came from: "Haha, fellow Taoist must be the disciple of Ye Wangfeng's mountain guard."

"That's right, I don't know if my friend is..." Yu Xiao bowed and expressed his gift.

"I'm in the middle of the silence, I'm a disciple of Zi Rui Peak. Haven't you asked for the name of a fellow Taoist?" the man replied with a smile.

"Zi Ruifeng?"

Yu Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that Zirui Peak is just south of Yewang Peak? The two peaks are not far apart and can be regarded as being close to each other.

"It turns out that it is Fellow Daoist Ma. He has never had any name in Yuxiao, just a mere name."

Ma Wenliang seemed to have a different view on this and laughed mysteriously: "Fellow Daoist Yu, you don't understand it now. Since you are a cultivator, you are no longer an ordinary person. Naturally, you must have a name, not, for example, I gave myself a name, called Jiuyi Layman."

"Ah, Fellow Daoist Ma's name is really elegant. I'm afraid I can't think of any good name." Yu Xiao was really not interested in the name. In his opinion, no matter how big the name is, he did not have the real realization of cultivation.

Ma Wenliang was not confused about this matter, but instead asked, "Fellow Daoist Yu thinks it's his first time to be a mountain guardian."

"Yes, this is my first time as a mountain guard disciple. I wonder how Fellow Daoist Ma saw it?" Yu Xiao asked curiously.

"This is actually very simple. Generally, not many people are willing to do the tasks like mountain guarding disciples. Most of the mountain is empty. If you want to, you can stay there without rotation until the end of time, unless there is any irresistible force, such as the death of a person as a mountain guarding disciple will disappear."

Speaking of this, Ma Wenliang showed a hint of regret and grief on his face, and then said, "You can appear here, which means that the previous Ye Wangfeng Mountain guarding disciple has already fallen in this small test. Alas, the sky has no eyes."

"So that's it." Yu Xiao nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Ma Wenliang had a good relationship with the former Ye Wangfeng Shoushan disciple, otherwise he would not have been so sad about his fall.

At this time, Ma Wenliang changed his tone and invited him hospitably: "Fellow Daoist Yu, you are here just in time. Today I set up a banquet in the cave and invited two fellow disciples who are also guarding the mountain to drink. Why not go to my cave and sit for a while and have a few drinks."

Yu Xiao was just here, but he didn't have to have too much contact with Ma Wenliang. However, after thinking about it, he agreed. Perhaps he could learn some experiences of the mountain-guarding disciples from other people this time, and then answered: "Okay, fellow Taoist Ma invited me, how could he not go?"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Yu is such a cheerful person, please come here!"

In a moment, the two of them arrived at Zirui Peak. The place where lotus leaves and lotus flowers were filled with colorful flowers was Ma Wenliang's cave.

There is a lotus pond in front of the cave. In the center of the lotus pond, there is an elegant pavilion. There is a stone eight immortal table and four stone benches, which are filled with wine pots and jade cups, immortal treasures and strange fruits, and a faint fragrance of wine wafts with the wind.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Xiao had already judged that Ma Wenliang must have been in Zirui Peak for a long time, otherwise he would have absolutely no time to arrange these scenes.

Compared to his simple cave, Ma Wenliang's cave is a luxury villa, and the two are not on the same level at all.

Not long after the two arrived, they saw two figures again on Yuntou, both of whom were 27 or 28 years old. They fell down very quickly, clasped their fists and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiuyi hasn't seen him for many days, I miss him very much."

"Haha, Yun Shuzi, Taoist Qinyin, you are here just in time. Let me introduce you to fellow Taoist Yu Xiaoyu, the new mountain guard disciple of Ye Wangfeng."

While leading the three people to sit down, Ma Wenliang gave Yu Xiao and Daoming the identities of the two: "Fellow Daoist Yu, this is Fellow Daoist Wei Kang and Wei, named Yun Shuzi, this is Fellow Daoist Yang Shiping and Daoist Qinyin, they are the mountain guard disciples of Zhuxi Peak and Donglin Peak respectively."

"Fellow Daoist Wei, Fellow Daoist Yang, you are polite!"

"Fellow Daoist Yu, when we meet for the first time, we don't need to be polite. Everyone drinks and talks without asking about the unhappy things in the world." Ma Wenliang was very free and easy, filling the three of them with wine, and sipped them all in one go.

Wei Kang, Yang Shiping and Ma Wenliang are also old friends, and they are not at all. They raise their glasses and drink and say anything.

Although Yu Xiao is not a wine lover, the glass of wine that is filled with fragrance in front of him still makes him salivate. He couldn't help but take a few sips, and then sip it all in one go.

"It's indeed a good wine!" Yu Xiao exclaimed. Although he had never drunk the wine from this world before, it was definitely a top-notch wine compared to the wine from his previous life.

"That's natural. The narcissus nectar of Mr. Jiuyi is also a unique person at Luoxia Peak. If you are not an acquaintance, you will have no chance to smell the smell of wine, let alone take a sip." Wei Kang drank another glass, and his face still looked unfulfilled.

Ma Wenliang was not a stingy person, so he immediately said generously: "If Fellow Daoist likes it, he can come to me to drink a few glasses every few days. I dare not say anything else, so I will definitely take enough wine."

At the dinner table, the four of them had a great time talking. Although Yu Xiao was a listener most of the time, this did not affect anything.

When the three of them talked about other registered disciples, Yu Xiao couldn't help asking: "Fellow Daoist Ma, I heard from the senior sister who patrols the hall that this mountain guard is boring and boring, why are the three Taoists so happy in this mountain field?"

Regarding this matter, the three people's answers were surprisingly consistent.

Ma Wenliang was very open-minded and joked: "To be honest, I have been in the sect for eleven years. I have participated in two small tests. Although I have passed by luck, I have not gained much. Now I have only been the fourth level of Qi refining. I have never had the chance to enter the family in this life. Even the foundation building is hopeless. I don't know if I can return to Zirui Peak alive next small test.

The great way of immortality is illusory, and thousands of people seeking the Tao. How many people can go back from ancient times to the present? Since practice has become so pure and painful, why not make fun of suffering, sit idle in the clouds and fields, drink and talk about joy, it is not in vain for me to go through the world of world."

"Yes, the great way is ruthless. No matter whether you are a king, prince, general, or a real immortal, when it is your turn, you cannot escape. These registered disciples, such mediocre qualifications, are absolutely not as good as those with outstanding talents. No matter how many cultivation resources are, they cannot turn iron and stone into uncensored jade." Yang Shiping sighed.

Wei Kang nodded, as if he had a deep understanding of this, and agreed: "If you cannot break through the foundation, it will not turn into a piece of loess in a hundred years. We are actually no different from mortals. We are just stronger bugs. We can live one day."

These words caused thousands of waves in Yu Xiao's heart.

Yes, even if a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage cannot break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, his lifespan will be equivalent to that of an mortal. He seems to be transcendent to the world, but in fact he has already entered the shackles of the great way, and this is a road without a way back.

The four of them drank until the night gradually became darker before they dissipated. After Yu Xiao returned to the cave, he was still thinking about those words.

After a moment, he did not waste his time thinking meaninglessly, and immediately poured out a pill of Qi-drawing pill from the porcelain bottle in the storage bag, swallowed it into his stomach and began to practice.
