The old ape gently stroked the scriptures in the bamboo hat and said excitedly: "Old Wolf and I will leave here, and you will be a legend on Tianshan Mountain from now on."

"I look forward to you writing this legend on every mountain peak and bringing the legend of Tianshan to every city in the five regions."

"I believe that in the near future, your legend will spread throughout the five regions."

The old ape murmured.

Li Ye saw the excited old ape, thought for a while and asked: "Senior, have you been to every peak in the Tianshan Mountains?"

"How is it possible? The Tianshan Mountains span two regions and stretch for tens of thousands of miles. Some peaks are simply forbidden areas for life, and some peaks have living overlords living there. Just like the two peaks where Lao Lang and I are, generally

There are no other living beings here to make plans."

"It's okay to pass by our territory, but if you want to thrive, it's impossible. This is a rule that all living beings in the Tianshan Mountains must abide by," said the old ape.

"Then my husband and I have been living in the cave on Fairy Peak for a long time, and no one has come to interfere." Li Ye thought about the wooden houses and caves on the mountain.

The old ape pointed to the bamboo sword on the table, then pointed to the shore outside the shed, and explained very seriously: "First of all, you are just staying temporarily and will not disturb the practice of other creatures in the mountain; secondly, you are not a member of the ethnic group.

Wherever you live, you can't destroy the balance of nature at all, so nothing will happen. And you are human practitioners, and the ordinary weak Tianshan creatures can't hide from you."

"Think about it carefully, which of the practitioners at the foot of the mountain is willing to live on the mountain for a long time, isolated from the world?"

The old ape shook his head, looked at him and smiled.

Li Ye didn't know what kind of other creatures existed on Tianshan Mountain. So far he had only seen Bai Susu, Lao Yuan's tribe and Lao Lang's tribe.

Even except for the old ape and the old wolf, he had never heard of the legendary deeds of any living being on the Tianshan Mountain. However, he also knew that just because he had not seen it did not mean that there were no other living beings practicing on the mountain.

Or maybe I am just very lucky and have not met any practitioners who threaten my life, or there are some terrifying creatures hidden in the Tianshan Mountains."

And such practitioners or creatures are likely to be even more terrifying than the old ape.

Thinking of this, he felt a little proud of his husband. At least during the days when he followed his husband, the creatures on the mountain did not dare to disturb him.

Li Ye added two pieces of charcoal to the stove, poured boiling water into the purple sand, and poured hot tea for the old ape.

"So that's it... No wonder my husband told me not to run around, and strictly prohibited me from going to the top of the mountain... I didn't expect that the environment here is as dangerous as the world's spiritual practice world. Maybe I'm just too lucky and have no purpose.

Running around, I met Xiaobai and senior."

The old ape returned the bamboo hat in his hand, picked up the hot tea in front of him and took a gentle sip.

Said: "The weather will get colder and colder, and the water flowing on the waterfall will become less and less, and it will condense into ice. If you want to enter the pool to temper your body this winter, you must hurry up."

"While I'm still here, I can guard you by the pool. After I leave, you have to rely on yourself. Besides, if you go down the mountain, you will have no time to come back here just to enter the pool to cool yourself with ice and snow.

body?"

"Will the river freeze completely? Will the waterfall on the pool freeze?" Li Ye was stunned.

The old ape looked at him and said very seriously: "Nothing is impossible. I remember that in the winter of a few years, all the rivers in the mountains were frozen into glaciers. In order to drink water, we had to smash the ice cubes and move them back to the cave to boil water.

, or just roll a snowball and put it in a pot to boil water."

"Survival is all about survival. This cold winter is a severe test for every creature on the mountain."

Li Ye glanced at the old ape and said: "In that case, I will train for two days to adjust my physical strength, and then I will go to the bottom of the pool with my seniors to temper my body. But if I really want to trouble you to watch me from the shore, please don't

I lost my little life."

The old ape nodded. Except for Li Ye, he had an indispensable attitude towards everything on this mountain. Since he wanted Li Ye to go into the pool to temper his body, he would go and guard the edge of the pool together to prevent accidents from happening.

.

"Although the pond water in winter is extremely cold, it is also much safer. There will not be sword-like ice crystals mixed in the river water and flowing down like in spring, nor will there be rocks and branches caught in the fierce flood like in summer.

"

"As long as you can withstand the cold, it will have an excellent tempering effect on your body. Apart from Tianshan, how can there be such a cultivation environment in the five realms?"

The old ape picked up the cup on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I don't know if I can have such a good taste in that place."

Li Ye smiled slightly, looked at the bamboo hat on the table and said, "Then this winter, we must complete the Cold Pond Tempering Body no matter what. Otherwise, when you leave, where will I find someone to guard you.

"

The old ape hesitated slightly and said with a smile: "Don't you still have a husband? I believe he is much more capable than me."

Li Yeye said in a serious tone: "After all, that's my husband. The mountains are so high and the water is so bad. I almost lost my life climbing up. I can't let my husband climb that rock wall with me again, right?"

The old ape sighed and said: "I still don't understand how you climbed up. It was a real stone wall of 100 feet. Even I would not try to conquer it easily, not to mention that you had Xiaobai with you at the time.

thing."

"I didn't think much about it when I was climbing. When I reached the first level, I couldn't get down even if I thought about it, so I had to keep climbing up. Xiaobai was scared to death and lay down behind me like a dead dog."

Li Ye recalled the scene of climbing the stone wall, and he was still a little scared to this day.

"When I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, my feet and hands were numb and I couldn't even move. I lay on the ground to rest for a long time before looking for a place to spend the night..."

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Ye said quietly.

The old ape nodded, looked at him and said: "That night, I heard you chanting sutras in the woods on the top of the mountain. I thought you would leave the next day, but I didn't expect you to bring Xiaobai to my place.

.”

"It seems that everything is God's will. We, an old man and a young man, are destined to meet here. If it weren't for the little gentleman's revelation, the old ape and I would not have the fate to hear the Tao and enter the Tao overnight. I hope to break the void and see another one.

Scenery of the world.”

The old ape looked at Li Ye's childish face and didn't know what to say.

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and all gratitude can only be kept in my heart. I hope that one day the two of them can meet again in another world and continue to start another legend.

He suppressed the words of gratitude he wanted to say, clapped his hands, stood up and walked out.

As he walked, he said: "I won't eat here today. I will go back to the cave to accompany the children. I will keep the meat under the eaves for you. When you enter the cold pool to temper your body one day, I will have a drink with you."

By the way, I’ll help you get rid of the cold air.”

"When you have time, grind these fruits and boil them in fat. Don't forget." He turned around and pushed the door open.

The moment the old ape pushed open the door and left, Li Ye suddenly felt a little cold all over.

The wooden shed he built was very small and was made of several cedars. For the sake of convenience, the pine wood was not broken into boards to form the walls. Instead, the peeled tree trunks were sandwiched with bamboo pieces to seal it up.

All sides.

Even so, the cold wind from the mountains will leak in. Fortunately, there is a charcoal fire burning in the shed on weekdays, so it doesn't seem cold.

Today, I suddenly felt so cold that I felt flustered. Do I have to go to the cold pool and risk my life to temper my body?

Looking at the black fruit in the bamboo basket on the table, he took out one and put it in his hand to look at it carefully. He pinched it with his hand and it felt very hard, so he put it on the stone table. He took the iron sword and patted it, and the fruit scattered in all directions.

Come.

After thinking for a while, I took off the kettle on the stove, added it to the iron pot, poured all the fruits in the bamboo basket into it, and stir-fried slowly, thinking that I had fried you dry.

Can't be ground into powder?

As he kept stir-frying, the aroma of fat gradually wafted out and spread in the shed.

I'm so smart, why can't I handle your little fruit?

...

After two hours of hard work, he finally ground all the fruits into powder on the stone table with an iron sword, and then put them into a pot to simmer until golden oil finally came out.

I took a bowl and carefully poured the fat in the pot into it. I thought that once the bucket is knitted, I will rely on you to protect it from rain and water.

There is still some heavenly silk cloth left by Monk Poxu for him. When the time comes, he will cut a section and wrap it in a bamboo hat, then put the bamboo hat on his head after going down the mountain.

He was afraid that because of his black face, the people in the city would look at him like a monster.

It is said that everything in this world is a matter of cultivation. If you think about it carefully, it turns out to be true.

I spent several months knitting the bamboo hat, and spent several hours frying the oil fruits and boiling the fat. I would have to apply it carefully the next day.

At this time, he felt that if he was given an embroidery needle, he might not be able to embroider the flowers he wanted.

Just thinking about having to enter that terrifying cold pool to temper my body in a few days still makes my heart palpitate.

It was getting dark, so I rinsed the pot and put it on the stove to cook meat porridge, but Xiaobai didn't come out of the cave for a long time.

These days, this guy only eats and sleeps. Could it be that he has transformed into an advanced form? Li Ye has some expectations when he thinks of Xiaobai after his transformation.

I thought that when this little guy takes form and can speak, I will leave all the trivial tasks of shabu-shabu, washing dishes and fetching water to him, so that he can cultivate his state of mind.

You can also be lazy, relax and lie on the bamboo chair and enjoy the wonderful life on Tianshan Mountain.

The cold weather caused the breath from his mouth to turn into clouds of white mist in the room, even though there was still a charcoal fire burning in the room.

Cultivation is inherently a boring thing. Whether in Fengyun City or on the Tianshan Mountains, every day he is either practicing his sword or tempering his character.

I remember back when he was a student at Chunfeng Academy. Apart from studying, he spent all day playing with Fatty Tang, Hu Ge, and Xiao Ju. He either played in the mud or went fishing in the Liuhe River. It was extremely monotonous and boring like now.

However, even after Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu went down the mountain and left Tianshan, leaving them to live alone in the mountain, he seemed to have gradually adapted to this simple and boring life.

You don't have to look at the strange looks from passers-by, and you don't have to think about being scolded by your husband if you're late in the morning, and you won't be chased by the ladies from the General's Mansion asking questions all day long.

Then, he suddenly fell in love with such a simple life.

Just like what he said to Xiaoqing, he hopes that his sister will live a simple life in the future and live the ordinary life she likes.

Thinking that he would go to the cold pool to temper his body in a few days, Li Ye felt that the temperature in the shed seemed to be a little colder, so he couldn't help but add a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier.
