"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that our fate would be due to the inexperienced drawing book of my childhood. This fate is really wonderful." Yuan Ming didn't expect that Xiying would look at him differently for this reason, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Who is destined to be with you?" Xiying cursed lightly, waved his hand and formed a yellow formation quickly.
A dazzling yellow light flashed, and the figure of Xiying had disappeared.
The beauty disappeared, but there was still a faint fragrance floating in the nostrils.
He suddenly remembered something and looked down at his right hand.
He still held the book in his hand, but he forgot to return it to Xiying.
"I'll give it back to her when we meet again in the future." Yuan Ming thought to himself. Just as he was about to put away the book, he suddenly frowned.
There is a hard feeling inside the book, as if something is stuck inside.
He opened the book and found a thin gray jade slip sandwiched between the last two pages.
Yuan Ming took the jade slip and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and his body froze slightly.
Inside the jade slip is the follow-up technique of Ming Yue Jue, the formula from the fourth level to the sixth level.
His Ming Yue Jue had just broken through to the third level not long ago. The more he practiced, the more deeply he realized the power of the Ming Yue Jue. He was very eager for the follow-up techniques, but he didn't expect Xiying to give it to him directly.
"Brother Yuan, what are you doing here alone?" Wulu said.
Yuan Ming was startled. Unexpectedly, Wu Lu had already arrived, and he suddenly found that he only had jade slips in his hand, but the painting book was missing.
I just met Xiying, I don’t know if it is an illusion or reality.
"Wulu, you surprised me by appearing so suddenly." Yuan Ming put away the jade slip and said calmly.
"Brother Yuan was just thinking about Xiao Ying and was in a trance." Wulu laughed and said.
"Brother Wulu is really sharp-eyed." Yuan Ming also laughed.
"Young people should dare to think, act and take responsibility. I support you." Wulu said with a smile.
"How do you support me?" Yuan Ming said.
"Would you like me to sneak into Xiao's house and do some research for you?" Wulu said in a low voice.
"How much does it cost?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Five thousand spiritual stones and one top-grade magic weapon?" Wulu said.
"I can't afford this, where is Ma Xingkong?" Yuan Ming said.
"Brother Ma has left to return to Jin. He wants me to say goodbye to you. Brother Yuan has something to do with him?" Wulu asked.
"It's nothing. The matter of Biluo Cave is over. I wanted to say goodbye to Brother Ma before leaving. I wonder what Brother Wulu has planned?" Yuan Ming said.
"I have completed the task assigned by my family this time. It is rare that I have a lot of free time. I want to walk around and have a good trip. I will go to Black Rock City in a few days, and then go to the Eastern Territory of Southern Border. I want to see it again.
Look at the sea. I'm almost fifty and I haven't seen the sea yet." Ulu sighed with emotion.
"Okay, then we are destined to meet again." Yuan Ming said.
After chatting for a while, they parted ways and said goodbye.
The disbanded alliance had no control over the members who joined temporarily and could stay or leave at will. Yuan Ming left directly from the gate of Biluo Cave and disappeared into the dense forest of Shiwanda Mountain.
After a while, Yuan Ming came to a mountain stream, washed his face with the cool water, and turned to face behind him.
"Your Excellency has followed me all the way, can you show up now?"
The jungle behind him parted with a "crash", and a tall and straight figure walked out. It was Long Hao who had shown his prowess during the previous battle to attack the mountain.
"It turns out to be Senior Long Hao." Yuan Ming looked surprised and said with cupped hands.
"Are you Yuan Ming?" Long Hao's voice was as loud as a bell, and he looked at Yuan Ming as he spoke.
"Not bad." Yuan Ming said calmly.
"Did you write this letter?" Long Hao took out an envelope from his arms. There was no signature on it, only a cat's paw mark.
Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.
Back in Shiwanda Mountain, after he and the mandrill king Long Xi reached a consensus, he wrote this letter in accordance with Long Xi's last wish and told his tribe what happened.
"Since you wrote the letter, you should have buried my son's body as well. Take me there." Long Hao said.
"Senior, follow me." Yuan Ming had no intention of hiding anything and ran in one direction.
Half a day later, the two came to the valley where Yuan Ming buried the head of King Mandrill.
"The people in Biluo Cave were very strict on the investigation that day. I didn't have time to take away Brother Longxi's body, so I could only take away his head. Please forgive me, senior." Yuan Ming led Long Hao to Longxi's grave and said.
Long Hao said nothing. Looking at the wordless tombstone in front of him, his tall body suddenly became a little rickety, and his hands and feet were trembling slightly.
Yuan Ming sighed secretly and quietly retreated outside the valley.
After a long time, Long Hao walked out of the valley, his expression restored to calm, and said: "Thank you, little friend Yuan, for burying my son. I wonder what reward I want, little friend?"
Yuan Ming promised Long Xi to risk writing that letter, and Long Xi made a promise to Yuan Ming on behalf of his family, which was already stated in the letter.
"Thank you, Senior Long Hao, for your kindness, but I don't want any reward," Yuan Ming said.
"That's good. You already know the location of our clan. You can come here at any time. This is a token of public access." Long Hao took out a dark gold token with the word "dragon" written on it. Long Hao's family is a cultivator in southern Xinjiang.
The fairy world seems to be a special existence that is hidden from the world.
"Thank you, senior." Yuan Ming took the token and thanked him.
Long Hao felt depressed, collected his son's remains, turned around and left without saying anything.
"Yuan Ming, senior Long Hao, please stay." A green falcon flew over and landed nearby.
A figure jumped down, but it was Fangge.
"Senior Brother Fangge, it's great that you're fine. Why are you here?" Yuan Ming said happily.
Long Hao also looked at Fangge with confusion on his face.
"On the order of Patriarch Li Zhui and the Master of the Third Cave, I invite you two to attend their double cultivation celebration." Fangge took out two red invitations and handed them to Yuan Ming and Long Hao.
The Third Cave Master's Double Cultivation Ceremony! I never heard that she had a Taoist companion. Yuan Ming had a vague guess about who this Li Zhui was.
"Senior Li Zhui! Is he still alive?" Long Hao said in surprise, and his voice was so loud that Yuan Ming couldn't help but look sideways.
"Of course, I ask you both to show your appreciation," Fangge said.
"Senior Li Zhui was very kind to me back then, so I naturally want to participate in his dual cultivation ceremony." Long Hao said immediately.
"Of course I can't miss the Third Cave Master's grand ceremony," Yuan Ming said.
"Okay, please get on the falcon," Fang Ge said.
The green eagle quickly took off into the sky and flew towards Biluo Cave, arriving not long after.
There is no one inside the mountain gate of Biluo Cave. Neither the captured Biluo Cave disciples nor those who broke up the alliance at dawn have disappeared.
Not long ago, there was a shout of "kill Zhentian", but now it is silent, which makes people sigh.
The green eagle swooped down and landed in a secluded valley near Huolian Peak.
Yuan Ming had been to this place where the fish man lived. The valley was shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
Li Chai's identity was confirmed here.
The falcon flew straight into the valley, making a slight cracking sound as it passed through a certain void, as if it had passed through something.
Yuan Ming's eyes flashed, all the fog disappeared, and the quiet valley in the past appeared again.
He glanced back and realized that the valley was shrouded in illusion, and the sky was filled with fog when viewed from the outside.
The Green Falcon landed on the ground, and the three of them jumped down and arrived near the hut where Yu Weng lived.
Many new houses were built in the valley, hung with red silk lanterns. It was quite festive. Many people were busy here, all disciples of Huolian Hall. Yuan Ming looked happy.
Seeing Yuan Ming reunited after the disaster, the disciples of Huolian Hall were also very happy.
The three of them came to a large courtyard deep in the valley. There were more than a dozen banquets placed here. In addition to the Huoliantang disciples, there were also some strange faces here, who should be the third cave master and Li Zhui's friends.
At this time, the master of the three caves was wearing a red robe, and the old man Yuweng, who was also wearing a red robe, was entertaining guests.
"It is indeed the fish man." Yuan Ming said to himself.
Fang Ge arranged for Yuan Ming and Long Hao to sit down at a table, and the third cave master and Yu Weng came over quickly.
"Senior Li Zhui, I never thought you were still alive." Long Hao stood up and said.
"Fellow Daoist Long, speaking of it, I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years. It's great that little friend Yuan Ming can come too." Yuweng warmly welcomed Long Hao and Yuan Ming.
The third cave master and Long Hao were not familiar with each other.
"How did you two arrive together?" Yu Weng asked.
"We met by chance. I still owe Yuan Xiaoyou a favor." Long Hao said.
"Master Three Cave, congratulations on your wedding today, please accept this jar of sake." Yuan Ming took out a jar of wine that he had long wanted to send to Yu Weng and handed it over.
"You are interested, but Biluo Cave no longer exists, so there is no need to use the old name. Just call me Ling Songhua." The third cave master accepted the wine with a smile.
"Yes, Senior Ling." He followed his advice.
"My little friend, not only does he have good opportunities, but he also has a delicate heart." The fisherman next to him said with a smile.
"The opportunity for this junior is that senior Ling could take me in, otherwise I would not know where I am right now. Congratulations again to the two seniors on their double happiness." Yuan Ming said, and saluted Ling Songhua and Yu Weng respectfully.
The two of them helped Yuan Ming up.
Afterwards, Yu Weng and Long Hao went to the side to reminisce about old times.
The auspicious time has come.
The double cultivation ceremony of immortal cultivators is almost the same as the marriage ceremony in the mortal world. However, Ling Songhua and Yu Weng are both monks in the alchemy stage who have been cultivating for more than a hundred years. Their earthly parents have long since died, so the steps of kneeling three times and nine kowtows are omitted. Both parties bow to each other.
After passing through heaven and earth, drinking a glass of wine in public is considered a ceremony.
Yuan Ming felt very comfortable with the disciples of Huolian Hall. During the banquet, everyone was talking about the retribution for someone's evildoing, and they were also sad for the fallen senior brother. Everyone had a great time drinking that night.
Everyone is happy to be freed.
After dinner, Yuan Ming said goodbye and left.
"Yuan Ming, Master, please don't leave yet and wait for her in the side hall." Fang Ge stopped Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming vaguely guessed Ling Songhua's purpose of leaving him behind, and followed Fangge to a nearby thatched hut.
Half an hour later, Ling Songhua came late and said, "I kept you waiting."
"It doesn't matter. Senior Ling is very happy today. There are naturally many things that need to be busy. I have nothing to do, so it doesn't matter if I wait." Yuan Ming said.
"When did you join the Dawn Alliance?" Ling Songhua sat down and asked straight to the point.
Yuan Ming was startled. He didn't expect Ling Songhua to think that he had joined the Dawn Break Alliance, and he didn't know how to explain it.
