Linghu Peak is the second side peak of Taiqiu Mountain. In the past, there was only an incomplete spiritual vein in the mountain, and the spiritual energy was thin.
However, just a few years ago, the Li family, under the auspices of the patriarch Li Changqing, transplanted a new spiritual vein into the mountain peak.
Although after the transplantation, the spiritual veins on Linghu Peak are still only the first-order low-grade, the spiritual energy is indeed stronger than before.
Now the Li family has opened a few monk caves here and planted some low-level spiritual peach trees.
The seeds of the spiritual peach tree were obtained from the third-order spiritual peach tree on the top of Taiqiu Mountain. Li Xuangang also planted one in the Jieyuan space.
...
One morning shrouded in mist, Han Yuru, dressed in plain clothes, came out of the cave, stretched, and then walked slowly down the mountain.
Since the first-level spiritual veins on Linghu Peak became available, she moved from Taiqiu Mountain to Linghu Peak, and took over the task of taking care of the Lingpeach tree in Shanggong Hall.
I don’t know whether she moved to the cave for the sake of the spiritual peach tree, or whether she chose to take care of the spiritual peach tree for the sake of the cave.
No matter what, her cultivation life has settled down on Linghu Peak. In addition to daily practice, she goes to Dan Peak to refine elixirs, or carries a medium-sized jade hoe to take care of those
Peach tree.
Some members of the Jade clan who are new to the mountain can often see her on Linghu Peak. Every time they see her, they are very respectful and call her: Han Keqing.
Han Keqing has a very good relationship with his eldest brother Li Yuheng, and I heard that he has a good relationship with Uncle Ninth who is already a foundation-building practitioner.
Most of the Yu clan members did not know the origin of Han Yuru. When they entered the mountain, Han Yuru was already on the mountain.
There are not many monks not named Li in the entire Taiqiu Mountain. In addition to Han Yuru, there are also some monks with other surnames who are Taoist companions with members of the Li family.
But Han Yuru is a little different from them. She is the only monk in the entire Taiqiu Mountain who has not entered the family tree.
Thinking about it this way, it’s a bit embarrassing!
When Li Changji, who had been in charge of family affairs in recent years, began to feel a little embarrassed, the matter became a little more delicate.
Li Changji called Li Yuheng, who had reached the eighth level of Qi refining, to the top of the mountain and said some words to him. When Li Yuheng left with a smile, Li Changji looked away from him and turned to look at the people not far away.
Linghu Peak.
...
When the sun peeked out of the clouds and dispersed the mist on Linghu Peak, making the entire mountain look warm, Han Yuru had finished taking care of the Lingpeach tree and was heading towards the lake at the top of Linghu Peak.
Go.
In addition to taking care of the peach trees, she has also been taking care of the ice lotus plants planted on the peak for so many years.
After Linghu Peak moved a spiritual vein, the mountain became larger, and the lake on the peak also expanded a bit.
The expanded waters and abundant aura have allowed the Li family to grow ice lotus on a larger scale.
At this time, Han Yuru walked onto the wooden bridge over the lake, surrounded by Bing Xinlian on both sides.
The blue lotus flowers are in full bloom, looking refreshing and crystal clear.
The wooden bridge extends to the center of the lake, and a small pavilion is built at the end. This is also where the last ice lotus grows.
After Han Yuru checked the growth of each Ice Heart Lotus as usual, she sat down on a wooden chair placed in the pavilion.
Quietly enjoy the color of the lake!
At some point, a figure appeared on a wooden chair next to her.
This figure was lazy and seemed to have no vitality at all, and even the gaze that spread out seemed a little weak.
Han Yuru turned her head, looked at this person who was probably the most talented member of the Taiqiu Li family for hundreds of years, and asked:
"Why are Yu Heng free to come here today? I heard that you have been taking care of the library recently!"
Li Yuheng casually threw a piece of dried monster meat into the lake, and the next moment he was bitten by a huge ferocious head that suddenly emerged from the lake.
The black turtle is very happy. It likes Li Yuheng the most. Every time it sees him, it feels happy. It seems that the other person can understand all its thoughts.
So, it revealed its body from the lake, and then carefully laid its paws on the edge of the pavilion, waiting for Li Yuheng's next feeding.
But this time it was a little disappointed, because Li Yuheng did not immediately take out more food from the storage bag as usual, but turned his head to talk to the female cultivator.
Xuangui also likes this female cultivator. Although he doesn't like Li Yuheng as much, he at least likes her more than the other human cultivators wearing black Xuanfu.
Those wearing the same clothes would only intimidate him, especially the one who caught him here.
This mysterious turtle knew: "Han Yuru is also very good to me. Although she often doesn't understand what she means, she still gives her food and chats with her."
"Although as we chatted, we would talk about that experience that I really don't want to recall."
"Well... Han Yuru doesn't talk about that experience, but I still like it very much!"
Xuangui thought this while eagerly waiting for Li Yuheng's next piece of monster meat.
...
"Those things are easy and don't take much time!"
"Oh, that's how it is!"
They spent a lot of time chatting like this in the past. They talked about cultivation, tasks, and the changes in Taiqiu Mountain. Sometimes, they would also bring the topic to Limeng Island, which was far away from here.
After chatting for a while, Li Yuheng looked a little casual and continued:
"My eighth uncle came to see me today, and it was about you!"
Although Li Yuheng said it casually, it made Han Yuru a little nervous. She was not stupid and naturally knew what Li Changji meant.
Seeing that she was a little scared, Li Yuheng chuckled lightly and then said:
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my eighth uncle thinks you should be included in the family tree!"
There are only two situations when entering the Li family's genealogy in Taiqiu Mountain, either having the blood of the Li family, or continuing the blood line of the Li family.
Han Yuru's surname is not Li, so naturally it can only be the second case.
She was silent for a moment, looked towards the end of the lake, and then lowered her head.
Li Yuheng did not urge her to answer, but just used his feet to tease the black turtle lying on the edge of the pavilion. It seemed that in his eyes, the other party was not a terrifying third-level mid-level monster!
After a long time, Han Yuruchong finally spoke:
"What will be the consequences if you don't join?"
Li Yuheng seemed to have guessed this answer. He smiled slightly and said:
"I'm afraid you have to leave Taiqiu Mountain, but you know too many things about the family. Foundation-building elders like Seventeenth Uncle will not let you live. Well... I guess you have to leave the Tianhe area before you leave.
, he should be shot to death in a wilderness by the tribesmen who caught up with him."
This situation was terrifying, but Li Yuheng spoke very naturally. His tone sounded like he was talking about a trivial matter of no importance.
Han Yuru knew this result herself, so she remained silent, lowered her head, and her beautiful face was hidden between her hanging hair.
"Actually, this matter can be easily solved. Many of the clan members of the Xuan generation are very suitable for you, Han Keqing!"
Han Yuru pursed her lips, with a trace of confusion in her eyes. When she looked at Li Yuheng again, a layer of mist began to form in her eyes.
Li Yuheng didn't care, he just said:
"This is indeed a good choice. It just so happens that Han Keqing, you... just like Uncle Jiu?"
As soon as these words came out, Han Yuru was stunned, her big eyes were full of surprise, and her face was in disbelief. She had never disclosed this to anyone, so how could Li Yuheng know about it.
You can't hide the fact that you like someone. Even if you don't think about it in your heart or say it with your mouth, it will still overflow from your eyes.
If you stay too long, others will notice you!
Li Yuheng was very smart, but Han Yuru was too simple, so naturally she couldn't hide it from his eyes.
Seeing that this matter was exposed, Han Yuru calmly accepted the situation after being surprised at the beginning.
She smoothed her hair with her long white fingers, showed a faint smile, and said:
"Yu Heng, you are so smart, I should have thought that I couldn't hide it from you." The voice was quiet and peaceful, and there was a tiny hint of joy in it.
Then she stood up, walked a few steps, and lay down on the fence of the pavilion. She didn't know whether she was talking to herself or to Li Yuheng:
"I know that my temper is too weak and I am really not suitable for practice. But there is no way. My brother brought me in when I was very young. He provided me with shelter and provided me with everything he could give me.
..I don’t want to disappoint him!”
"When I was a child, I spent some time in a mortal town. Of course, it was not comparable to Xijin City or Yuzhang City. There were no monks there to provide shelter. Therefore, I was often threatened by monsters. But most of the time.
It was quiet. At that time, I went to school, learned to read the Bible, and went to the streets that were neither lively nor deserted to buy some random gadgets. I knew that every house in the city would emit smoke at about the same time. When the smoke from the kitchen, the whole town was covered with smoke.
When it is soaked, a faint smoke and smoke begins to fill the air, and sometimes you can smell the food inside."
Speaking of this, Han Yuru smiled unconsciously, and a different look began to appear on her face, which was one of longing.
"So far, that is my best memory."
Han Yuru turned around, looked at Li Yuheng and said:
"You may not believe it when I tell you Yu Heng. In fact, I am not very interested in cultivation, realm, strength, opportunity, or immortality. Instead, I admire the daily lives of those mortals."
"I want to live the life I want. I work at sunrise and rest at sunrise. I only need to consider one question all day long, and that is what to eat for three meals."
"If I can meet such a special person before the end of my life, that will be my luck. If I can't meet him, it is fate. There is nothing to regret."
Li Yuheng was still sitting on the wooden chair and replied softly:
"It seems you are lucky, you met him!"
According to Han Yuru herself, this should be a lucky thing, but at this time she did not show joy, but instead showed a trace of resentment.
"Hey...it would be nice if that person was a mortal with no cultivation. In a small town, he will grow old together. After a hundred years of ordinary life, choose a quiet day at the end, preferably in autumn, and grow old together gracefully.
.But...you know your Uncle Ninth...it's impossible!"
Li Yuheng also stood up and stood beside her, looking at the lake, where there was a breeze blowing.
Han Yuru continued:
"I like your Uncle Jiu, um... I really like you." In the end, as if to encourage herself, she paused and said it again in a stronger tone.
"Actually... I don't know why I like him. There are many things in this world that I can't explain clearly, such as liking him."
"He is not handsome, and he is very boring. He is either on a mission or practicing in seclusion."
Having said this, Han Yuru sighed softly before continuing:
"The first time I met him, he was holding a blue spiritual sword, surrounded by tribesmen wearing the same mysterious clothes. He crossed the deep pool and came to me condescendingly. Later... later
He raised his sword towards me, but the sword failed to strike."
"It seems that he wanted to express his apology to me. When I asked him to come here to check why the ice lotus did not bloom, he agreed. I remember that it was also such an early autumn morning, a little cool and a little breeze, and the lake was more beautiful at that time.
There’s a lot of cold air gathered.”
"Drink~~~" Han Yuru suddenly smiled and made such a sound, as if she had thought of something beautiful.
"On this wooden bridge, he was originally a little far away from me, but maybe he also noticed the cold air here, so he used his spiritual energy to hold up a shield and quietly got closer to me.
Some, when I turned to look at him, he pretended not to know anything."
"We met once in Xijincheng before he left. I didn't expect to meet him there. His sudden appearance really shocked me. I served him a bowl of porridge and when I handed it over,
Then I remembered that he had been abstinent for many years, but before I could stop him, he had already drank it slowly, with a smile on his face."
"I said some things to him that day, but most of them have been forgotten. I only remember that he said he was going to Li Meng Island. I didn't know why I was a little sad, and asked him stupidly how long he was going to go, and he said he was just staying for a while.
day."
Han Yuru pursed her lips again, and gently pushed the gravel on the railing into the lake, causing ripples to ripple on the quiet lake surface!
"Many years have passed, and the time he said he would stay is really long!"
It seemed that he realized that he had said too much, so he turned around with an apology on his face.
Li Yuheng didn't look at her, he still just looked at the lake. At some point, a layer of white mist began to rise on the lake in the distance.
