Elder Bai rarely talked nonsense and took the three of us out of the house and walked outside.

And after I came to the Snow Mountain Range, it was the first time I stepped on the stairs going up again. The upper part is different from the lower part. The higher you go up, the narrower the stairs are, and there are fewer and fewer gorgeous Tang and Song style buildings.

, there are more and more caves distributed on both sides of the stairs.

The entrances to those caves are carefully paved with blue bricks, but the entrances are so dark that you can't tell what's inside?

I obviously feel that the higher you go upward, the different the air you breathe. There is a clear sense of clarity that makes people sober. I have experienced this feeling in the environment before, but the difference is that it is everywhere in the environment.

The air is much richer than the feeling in this cave. I know it is spiritual energy.

Master once said that today's cultivators have a hard life to practice, which is why it is increasingly difficult to find spiritual energy in this world. After all, there are three realms of cultivation. The lower class eats whole grains, meat and vegetables. The middle class eats all kinds of elixirs from heaven and earth. The upper class eats all kinds of elixirs.

Qi refers to the quick aura of heaven and earth, which is only as good as the vitality of the fetus in the womb.

Spiritual energy is hard to find, so how can you talk about cultivating to a high level? Even if you have just entered the world of cultivators and are dedicated to cleansing yourself of debris, if you can find a place with abundant spiritual energy, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

I suddenly understood why so many people wanted to come from the Snow Mountain lineage despite having their heads broken. After all, no matter how powerful the magic is, it is not as promising as practicing it yourself. It is more comfortable to live forever. Even if you can't live forever, live for hundreds of years? Who doesn't yearn for it?

In the snow-capped mountains, you can feel the spiritual energy is abundant as soon as you arrive here, but you did not expect that inside the mountain gate, the higher you go, the spiritual energy becomes more abundant, so sufficient that you can even feel it with every breath. This is indeed a rare thing in the world.

The treasure you are looking for.

Compared to this, what are the treasures of heaven and earth? This mountain gate cave is a priceless treasure.

Elder Bai, who had been walking silently in front, seemed to have noticed what I was thinking, and suddenly looked at me and smiled. It was still a spring breeze comparable to Brother Chengxin, but it made my hair stand on end. What was he going to do?

?

"Chengyi, you are known as the number one among the younger generation, don't you feel the difference in our mountain sect?" As he spoke, Elder Bai's eyes narrowed with a smile, as if he was very proud.

So what he was going to say was this? I breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in response: "I feel it, this mountain gate is the real priceless treasure."

"Well, I think so too. When walking on it, I feel that all the pores in my body are opened, my mind is extremely clear-headed, and it feels so comfortable." Not only me, but even Qiangzi couldn't help sighing as he walked through this mountain gate.

In it, the feeling of being nourished by spiritual energy.

"Yes, have you felt the snow-capped mountains? If you practice here and rely on your talent, you can also talk about pursuing the metaphysical, right? Therefore, practitioners should practice carefully. There are so many things in this world

What does harassment have to do with cultivators? What's the point of cultivators' intrigues? Practicing with peace of mind is the right path." Speaking of this, Elder Bai seemed to be very emotional.

Before we could speak, he turned to look at Master and me: "You two are so worried, why don't you stay in our snow-capped mountains, practice hard, and pursue a righteous and smooth path? As for this little brother,

You should be a person of great concern to the Eighteenth Village of Zuwu, so I won’t keep you here.”

Oh, this is a nickname? Ghostly sorrow? But what does Elder Bai mean? I have to say that the path he gave me is really tempting to me. Originally, my life's wish was nothing more than that.

That's it, this place in the snow-capped mountains can completely satisfy all my ideas.

Unexpectedly, the master laughed twice at this moment, and then said: "Elder Bai is such a good talker. If you hadn't invited me to stay here with you, I would have thought you were going to steal my disciple?"

"How could it happen? The reputation of Lao Li's lineage is not small. Even if the number of people is small, no one dares to look down upon it." Bai Laoer smiled softly, and his flattery was so natural that it also made people feel comfortable.

"Yes, Lao Li's lineage has a great reputation, but it is also a life of hard work. Ever since my master accepted his disciples, he has never taught us to find a place to practice meditation and not hear what is happening outside the window. Instead, we have to walk in the world,

Fate and fate have caused us to encounter something that touches the bottom line of our hearts. What should we care about? Master said that spiritual breakthroughs are higher-level breakthroughs. Compared with just cultivating the physical body, pursuing metaphysics is more adaptable.

The way of heaven is less entangled with cause and effect. Moreover, Elder Bai, you can't pretend to be confused because you understand. The Snow Mountain lineage can not participate in the grievances and disputes in this circle. It is a big fist. In these years, practice

There are fewer resources, who is not jealous? You want to fight for yourself. Cultivators are also human beings, and wherever there are people, there will be fights." Master refuted Elder Bai's words in a few words.

Of course, I must admit that what Master said makes sense, but I don’t understand why Master has to refute it like this, even Elder Bai has good intentions.

"That's true, but if we only look at the results, the snow-capped mountains have a quiet life, so why not do it? Of course it is good to cultivate the mind, but it is not inconsistent with Qingxiu. When you get tired of Qingxiu, just go out for a walk.

What can you encounter that can also temper your own state of mind? In the final analysis, no matter whether we are from the snow-capped mountains or not, what you have to focus on is now, and how can you live a leisurely life for a few years?" Elder Bai was not annoyed and smiled at him.

My master said it word for word.

But the master did not answer his words. Instead, he looked at me and suddenly said: "Chengyi, no matter where you go and what your status is, you must first recognize your identity as a disciple of our Lao Li lineage.

, we must never forget this forever! Otherwise, it will be betrayal of the master."

These words were serious, so I quickly said seriously: "Master, Chengyi dare not forget it."

"That's good. This identity is not just a word. Behind it is the responsibility that this identity should bear. Do you remember?" The master's voice became a little more serious.

"Disciple, please remember." I rarely refer to myself as disciple, but when Master said this, I didn't dare to be casual anymore. I stopped immediately, held the etiquette in hand, and agreed almost word for word.

"That's good." Master's face became calm again.

Elder Bai walked in front and muttered: "This is a headache. The big ghosts are more difficult to deal with than the small ghosts. I, the Snow Mountain lineage, still want to live a quiet life, don't you?"

What does this mean? At this time, I suddenly discovered that this old man Bai used spiritual energy as a topic. When he talked to me about Qingxiu, he probably didn't mean something simple. And during the conversation, I suddenly didn't realize that we were already gone.

There are many stairs, and you can already see the top of the mountain gate from a distance.

Originally, the snow mountain chain was hidden in the belly of one of the high snow mountains. Although it did not hollow out the entire mountain, it still occupied most of it. If there were not stairs inside, we would have been able to climb the snow mountain outside and walk up to such a high altitude.

The distance is so far that I'm afraid it won't be possible without more than half a day.

Looking back, the cave entrance at the bottom of the peak already seemed very far away and very small, giving people a very clear feeling of being high above the world and independent from the world.

At this point, there are fewer caves on both sides of the stairs. You may only see a cave on the left or right mountain wall every ten steps. At the top, there is a small platform. On the platform, in addition to

The drum lay flat on a wooden stand, almost empty.

Behind the platform where the drum is placed, there is the entrance to a cave. It is also so dark and deep. I don’t know what is inside? I just rely on my feeling and feel that there is a very powerful aura inside, but it is very peaceful and indifferent.

Also indifferent.

"That's the prayer drum right there." Bai Laoer stopped and still looked at Master and me with that smile.

I was surprised that a prayer drum was placed at the highest point of the mountain gate, where the spiritual energy is most abundant. What does this mean? In my understanding, it is just like the grievance drum in the yamen is also placed outside the door.

It is really incomprehensible that someone like Xiangshengtang is placed in the most important position of the mountain gate and is protected by a powerful being!

"I know that's the prayer drum." Master looked at the big drum, his expression lost in thought. Perhaps, this drum once again stirred up memories of his time with Uncle Li?

"Before that, don't you want to meet the people you are going to meet?" Bai Laoer smiled kindly and looked more and more like an old fox.

"Of course I want to see you, but judging from what you mean, I'm afraid there are people who want to see us more, right?" Master put his hands behind his back, turned around, and said calmly to Mr. Bai.

However, Bai Lao'er put away his smile, shook his head solemnly, and said, "How can we understand it this way? In fact, that's not the case. I'm just giving you a choice. I, Bai Lao'er, never lie."

"It's strange that I believe you." The master preempted him, but he still smiled brightly, then he stooped slightly and pointed towards one of the caves, inviting us in.
