The distant Fangcun Mountain in the Xixuan Territory has represented mystery and remoteness for thousands of years to people in the Five Territories.

But for Li Ye, who left Vientiane City to practice cultivation, it was the place he longed for most.

No matter how far the journey there is, or what powerful enemies he will encounter on the way, he believes that he can handle it, not to mention having masters like his husband and Li Hongxiu by his side.

After leaving Vientiane City, their carriage had been walking in the wilderness for ten days, and they saw that they were just outside the border between the Central Region and the Western Region.

In more than ten days, we will reach the foot of Fangcun Mountain. Li Ye, who was sitting on the carriage, felt a little uneasy.

The husband has always been careless, and the old god is resting on the carriage, and from time to time he will give pointers to Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu on their practice problems.

But he paid no attention to Li Ye's practice, as if this disciple no longer needed him to worry about.

Li Hongxiu was also upset when she was bored in the carriage these days. She frowned slowly as she looked at Mumu. She looked at her and said seriously: "Counting the days, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai have been away for a long time. I don't know what they are now."

How's it going."

"Occasionally, I think of Xiaobai's naive appearance. I feel that he is cuter than Li Ye. Mumu, do you think they can find us in the future? We are almost to the West Xuan Territory. Let's leave Fengyun City in the East Territory.

It’s thousands of miles away.”

Mu Mu was stuffing melon seeds into her mouth. She was stunned when Li Hongxiu asked her question. She curled her lips and said, "Xiao Qing will definitely be able to find me."

Li Hongxiu glared at her and didn't reply. Instead, he turned to look at Li Ye who was practicing with his eyes closed and said, "Your brother has been gone for so long, don't you miss him?"

Li Ye opened his eyes, glanced at her, and said quietly: "He has his own way to go, what's the use of just thinking about it? He will come back when he wants to come back, and I respect his choice even if he doesn't come back.

As long as he is safe with Xiaoqing, that's fine."

The teacher nodded and smiled, feeling that Li Ye was getting more and more in tune with him. There were some words that the two masters and apprentices didn't even need to communicate, they could understand each other's meaning with just one look.

Looking at Li Hongxiu who had nothing to say, he smiled faintly and said: "You and Mu Mu have been playing for many days. When you get to Fangcun Mountain, you two should spend some effort to practice, otherwise it will be impossible.

I can surpass you in a few years."

Mu Mu tilted her head and looked at Li Ye, and said very puzzledly: "No matter how I see it, it is impossible for my brother to surpass his wife in a few years. It is difficult for him to make any progress in his practice now!"

Li Ye ignored her.

The black carriage was driving on the wasteland, its wheels constantly shaking on the muddy ground, which made Li Ye's heart feel calm.

Looking at the gentleman who was sitting quietly, he thought for a while and said: "Sir, I have been sitting in the car for more than ten days and I am feeling a little bored. I want to get out of the car and practice some practice. How about you, Master Niang and Mu

Mu will go first, and I will follow slowly behind you. How about you wait for me in front after two or three hours?"

The gentleman nodded and said nothing.

Mu Mu looked at him with some confusion and said nothing.

Li Hongxiu took out a bottle of water from behind and handed it to him, and whispered: "Pay attention to safety on the road. If you are really in danger, run away quickly. We will wait for you in front."

When Li Ye heard this, he grinned and said, "Don't worry, Master, I will pay attention."

After saying that, he called the coachman to stop the carriage and jumped out sideways.

The breeze was blowing, and he waved to Mu Mu who stuck out his little head on the carriage, and the carriage started to move slowly, running towards the front...

I slowly walked past, stretched my waist, and took a deep breath.

Looking at the horse-drawn carriage and the deserted wasteland gradually disappearing, I felt like I was back to those days when I just left Fengyun City and ran alone on the official road.

It's just that this place is not as good as Dongxuan Territory. The carriage traveled hundreds of miles and rarely encountered a carriage, let alone farmers working on the roadside.

He put away the kettle that Li Hongxiu handed him, bent down and straightened his animal skin shoes, rolled up his sleeves, weighed his feet, and slowly started running along the driveway in the wasteland.

It was already the beginning of summer under the sunshine, and there was only the smell of green grass in the wind. Occasionally, there would be a faint fragrance of wild flowers that hit him while he was running, making him feel very happy.

The steps under my feet were slow and leisurely, while I was slowly running the mental method of the Formless Dharma Body, I was enjoying the summer sunshine, the smell of green grass and wild flowers.

After running for half an hour, I saw a gray shadow on the roadside in front of me.

I couldn't tell whether it was a human or an animal, but it was a hundred or two hundred feet away from him... This gray shadow was moving forward, not much slower than his running speed.

My heart moved slightly, my steps moved faster, and I ran hard for a while.

When the gray shadow slowed down, it was clear that it was a walking monk.

It's just that he is old and is holding a branch in his hand. I don't know if he is using it to borrow strength or to defend himself from wild beasts.

Looking at Li Ye on the roadside, the traveling monk wearing gray monk robes turned back and looked at Li Ye.

Li Ye looked at him and smiled, took out the kettle and handed it over.

Li Ye raised his head and glanced at the sun in the sky, smiled at the old monk and said, "Master, are you not afraid of walking alone in this wilderness?"

The gray-clothed monk looked back at him, took the kettle in his hand, and took a sip.

He smiled lightly and said, "I am penniless as soon as I become a monk. What do I have to be afraid of?" After saying that, he handed the kettle in his hand to Li Ye.

Li Ye took the kettle and smiled shyly.

The gray-clothed monk looked at his appearance and said with a smile: "My dear benefactor, I saw a carriage passing in front of me. Why didn't you stop it and instead ran alone in the wilderness?"

When Li Ye heard this, he was startled, and then replied: "My husband is sitting in the carriage in front of me, but I am running in this wilderness to practice."

The gray-clothed monk stared at him, frowned and said, "Have you been to Fangcun Mountain before?"

Li Ye shook his head and said: "I have never been there before, but now I want to go there with my husband to practice."

The monk in gray clothes looked at him in disbelief, nodded and shook his head, frowning and said: "Since you have never been to Fangcun Mountain, where did you practice the Kung Fu in Prajna Temple?"

Li Ye was stunned, looked at him and blurted out: "How did the master know that this junior has practiced the Kung Fu in Prajna Temple?"

The gray-clothed monk glared at him and said, "I am a monk in Prajna Temple, my name is Minghui. If I can't even tell that you have practiced the Formless Dharmakaya, I am blind."

Li Ye was startled and hurriedly bent down to salute and said: "I don't know that the master is an eminent monk of Prajna Temple. Please forgive me for being disrespectful. My husband taught me this Kungfu, but I only have the first half of it. Now I go to Fangcun Mountain.

In order to obtain the cultivation techniques in the second half of the volume."

Monk Minghui stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold Li Ye's right hand, and after a long while, he said calmly: "Yes, you have actually practiced this technique to the entrance of the sixth level, but since you only have the first half of the volume, where did you get it?"

What’s the mentality of coming to this sixth level?”

"This sixth-level mental method was passed down by the junior master from the abbot in the Qingliang Temple in White Jade City. He has only practiced it to the sixth level. I got him to the sixth level by chance a few days ago.

Only then can you continue to practice the Dharma."

Monk Minghui nodded and said with a smile: "You really have endless opportunities, and you actually met that guy Xuanbei from Qingliang Temple."

Li Ye looked at him and smiled, but said nothing.

Monk Minghui continued: "Since I drank your water, I am destined to you, so I will solve the disaster in front of you. Look at the mountains in front of you, which is the junction of the three regions: the Central Region, the Western Region, and the Northern Region.

This land is commonly known as the "Three No Matters Zone".

"I met five black practitioners yesterday. I heard they wanted to ambush a boy of about eight or nine years old who had no cultivation realm. I thought about it, he must be the little donor, right?"

As soon as Li Ye heard what Monk Minghui said, he simply sat on a stone on the side of the road, looked up to the northwest, and with a flick of his hand, he took out the boxwood bow that his husband had bought before.

He gently stroked the bow string and said with a smile: "The road to Fangcun Mountain is really not quiet, they still came looking for it."

The mountains to the northwest were green and green, and they were not conspicuous at first sight. But after Li Ye heard what Monk Minghui said, he knew that someone was already ambushing him there, just like Ye Wuya who was by the stream in the back mountain of the Great Buddha Temple before.

Looking at the gray-clothed monk Ming Hui next to him, Li Ye laughed softly and said: "To be honest with you, master, this disciple monk learned from Master Kuchan of the Great Buddha Temple outside Fengyun City in Dongxuan Region, and he is half a disciple of Buddhism."

"He also gave me the Dharma name Wuchen. These men in black must be masters sent by someone from the Imperial City in the Central Region to take my life."

Monk Minghui's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Ye and said, "I didn't expect you to have converted to Buddhism. In this case, I can't leave you alone."

"Although my realm is not high, I have practiced the Formless Dharmakaya to the sixth level. If they want my life, they want to see if they have this ability." Li Ye laughed.

After the life-and-death battle with Ye Wuya in the creek, and the subsequent pursuit by the water bandits on the Fuchun River, Li Ye is no longer afraid of the men in black.

Monk Minghui pointed to the mountains in the distance and said: "From here, in another hour, you will encounter their ambush. Aren't you afraid at all? But don't worry, as long as I am here, they will not hurt you."

you."

Li Ye shook his head and said: "Since they came to ambush me, it means that I can't reason with them. When we meet, it will be life and death."

"Although I don't like killing, in order to protect myself, I have to take action against them. Master, you don't have to take action then. If I really can't resist, I won't trouble you again."

Monk Minghui looked at Li Ye who was holding a bow and arrow, nodded and said: "Since you are my Buddhist disciple, I naturally can't just turn a blind eye, so I will go forward with you to meet the men in black in the imperial city.
