Inside the Qingtian Cave, one of the thirty-six small caves in the Dragon Kingdom.
In a simple thatched house, there was a little candlelight.
This candlelight also reflected a figure sitting at the table, drinking tea, on the window paper, forming a shadow.
As the candlelight swayed, the shadow also swayed.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the figure sitting in the room immediately put down his tea cup and looked up in a certain direction outside the room.
The next moment, a surprised voice came from inside the house.
"Finally out of seclusion..."
Then, there was a "swish" sound, and the candle flame fell to one side.
The shadow on the window also disappeared.
Wait until this figure reappears.
Suddenly we came to a circular stone platform on the top of a mountain.
Through the faint moonlight in the night sky, it can be vaguely distinguished.
This figure is an old man in commoner clothes. His hair has fallen out and he is holding a cane in his hand.
Undoubtedly, this old man is Cui Zhi, the eighth generation guardian of Qingtian Cave.
At this time, Cui Zhi stood in the middle of the stone platform, looking at the stairs going up one level not far away.
Finally, his eyes fell on a palace shrouded in white mist at the end of the steps.
Fengzhen Palace!
It is the place of inheritance left by the first generation of guardians, Master Fu!
Non-guardians and heirs are not allowed to enter this heritage place!
And just when Cui Zhi was looking at the palace.
A look of excitement and expectation appeared on his wrinkled face.
Around the top of the mountain, the night wind howled, making his clothes rustle.
But Cui Zhi didn't feel cold. Instead, he felt hot blood flowing and boiling in his body!
Finally, after Cui Zhi waited for a while, he suddenly became energetic and his eyes lit up!
I saw the majestic and huge Fengzhen Palace. With a loud "rumbling" sound, two giant white jade doors more than three meters high slowly opened inward.
"Da da da……"
Immediately afterwards, there was a clear sound of footsteps in an empty passage inside the Fengzhen Palace.
Apparently someone came out of it.
After this figure walked out of the Fengzhen Treasure Hall, he turned around without hesitation, clasped his hands in his fists, and bowed towards the hall!
"Changsong thanks Master Fu!"
Then the figure straightened up and turned around again, revealing a bearded face.
It was Lin Qianyi's father, Lin Changsong, who entered the Fengzhen Palace more than three months ago and accepted the inheritance of Master Fu!
Compared with his appearance last time, Lin Changsong has also undergone very obvious changes this time.
His face is no longer yellow, but a little more rosy.
At the same time, thick beards grew on both sides of his jaw and cheeks.
And his whole spirit and temperament have become full and full of confidence.
Especially when he stood at the door of the palace and looked at the heaven and earth in the distance, his body naturally exuded a calm and calm Qi.
Undoubtedly, for more than three months, he has been in the Fengzhen Palace, accepting the inheritance of Master Fu and officially embarking on the path of cultivation.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Lin Changsong sensed a familiar energy and quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the circular stone platform at the bottom of the steps.
He saw at a glance the old man in civilian clothes standing there, looking up at him as well.
So Lin Changsong smiled knowingly and took a step forward without hesitation.
"Uh-huh."
The next moment, Lin Changsong's figure disappeared at the door of Fengzhen Palace.
When he reappeared, he had already arrived in front of the commoner man. He smiled casually and said, "Brother Cui, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
"Haha, it doesn't matter."
Cui Zhi immediately laughed loudly and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
"More than three months have passed since you entered the palace and accepted Master Fu's inheritance.
I was worried that you might not be able to bear it if you were inside.
I didn't expect you to come out first tonight.
And your current realm is only one step away from being a master.
I think you have gained a lot from it, so I feel relieved..."
Cui Zhi looked at Lin Changsong with a look of relief, then turned and left.
"Come on, let's go back to the house first.
Let me cook two dishes and serve a few bottles of wine to celebrate your departure today."
"good."
Lin Changsong naturally agreed with a smile.
Then he swayed and followed Cui Zhi back to the thatched house.
When walking into the house, Lin Changsong couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast.
I didn’t expect that while I was inside and just studied a few secret books, more than three months had passed outside..."
At this moment, Lin Changsong also thought of his wife and son at home, wondering how they were doing now.
Soon, the aroma of the food, mixed with the mellow aroma of wine, wafted out from the house.
"Haha, brother Changsong, there is an old saying that a thousand years have passed since the mountains were once full..."
Cui Zhi picked up the wine glass, looked at Lin Changsong sitting opposite, and said with a smile, "For those of us living in the Paradise of Cave, we have long lost the concept of time.
Just practice day after day and guard the blessed land of Cave Heaven.
Come on, let’s not talk so much, let’s have a drink!
Celebrate your release today!"
"Thank you, bro."
Lin Changsong smiled and raised his glass, touched it with Cui Zhi, then raised his head and drank it all.
A few days before entering the Fengzhen Palace, he had a very lively chat with Cui Zhi.
In the end, Cui Zhi decided simply that the two of them should not call each other "senior" and "junior", but just address each other as brother and brother. This would also make them seem close.
Lin Changsong naturally readily agreed to this title.
After all, he is a modern person. He would feel awkward calling him "senior" or something like that. It would be more pleasant to call him "old brother".
At this moment, after Lin Changsong finished a glass of wine, he picked up the bottle and poured another glass for Cui Zhihe himself.
Then Lin Changsong asked about his doubts.
"Brother, as the guardian of the Cave Heaven Paradise, don't you have anything else to do besides practicing and guarding?"
Cui Zhi glanced at Lin Changsong and knew what he wanted to ask. He immediately smiled and affirmed, "Of course there are other things to do."
"Oh? What's that?"
"That matter, I would rather stay in the Cave Heaven Paradise until I die of old age than see it happen..."
Cui Zhi's face suddenly showed a look of solemnity and a bit of sadness, and even his tone became deeper.
"Brother Changsong, I know what you want to ask.
You want to know when the guardians in Cave Heaven Paradise can leave?
In other words, when can we take action, right?
And you have accepted part of Master Fu's inheritance, and you are also the guardian of the next generation.
