Chapter 408 Time Is Like Water

"But your idea is a good one."

"As Hanyu Mountain becomes more and more famous, we will have more and more evil enemies. Incidents like this time when evil spirits attacked the gate of Hanyu Mountain while I was away will definitely happen again in the future."

"For example, the demons in the Arctic Sky Cabinet Palace may not be willing to swallow their anger after this situation ends. Maybe they are already discussing how to attack Hanyu Mountain."

"Although the Li friends from the Attacking Wind Tribe are powerful and have guarded Hanyu Mountain for many years. But after all, they cannot always live in Hanyu Mountain."

"According to the custom of the Li people, in one or two years, they will move to the next anchor point."

"After they leave, the safety of Hanyu Mountain can only rely on ourselves. So it is indeed a good idea to recruit some disciples and strengthen our own strength."

"Anyway, if you want to do it, then go ahead and do it."

"Although the "Tao Jing" cannot be taught casually, I have a "Divine Technique" here which is also a top-notch technique. You can recruit some mortals or practitioners with good character and good character to get started and teach them the "Divine Technique"."

"Now, even though you are not at the level of Xiantian, your strength is considered to be even better than that of Xiantian. I feel relieved to have you in charge."

Lu Heng smiled and encouraged Xiao Ai's idea and supported Xiao Ai's actions. He planned to sponsor a top-notch ancient martial art to provide Xiao Ai with start-up funds.

He did not tell Xiao Ai that after accepting disciples, although he could rely on the disciples to protect the mountain gate, he would also have to shoulder the pressure of protecting and educating these disciples.

If Xiao Ai really establishes a sect and accepts disciples, the person who chases and rescues his disciples after they are captured will probably not be Lu Heng, but Xiao Ai himself...

However, Lu Heng did not pour such cold water on Xiao Ai.

Because he was happy to see the little girl have her own path in life.

Since being resurrected by Lu Heng, Xiao Ai has been by Lu Heng's side all the time, almost becoming Lu Heng's appendage, and has never had an independent life of his own.

In the past, Lu Heng didn't care about this situation, because he felt that he could stay with Xiao Ai for the rest of his life.

But now Lu Heng doesn't dare to be sure anymore.

Everything he saw and heard in the alien space put great pressure on Lu Heng.

He must cultivate to the realm of the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible, and then go to the so-called Tianwaitian to find Sister Yuanjun.

In other words, Lu Heng will leave this world sooner or later. At that time, Lu Heng could not guarantee whether he could take Xiao Ai with him or whether Xiao Ai was still alive at that time.

Because after returning from another dimension, Lu Heng had a vague intuition that if he continued to practice steadily, he probably wouldn't have to worry about age.

But Lu Heng doesn't have to worry about lifespan, but that doesn't mean Xiao Ai doesn't have to worry.

The life spans of practitioners in this world are actually quite short...

Most human monks are considered old-fashioned if they live hundreds of years. Those who can live for thousands of years are all innate monks.

Those who can live to thousands of years, like Tao Laoyao, must be extraordinary people who have received ancient inheritance.

But even if they have received ancient inheritance and have all kinds of extraordinary experiences, ordinary monks will never be able to live as long as the ancient mythical beasts.

Lu Heng was worried that Xiao Ai would have exhausted his lifespan and turned into loess before he could reach the Heavenly Palace.

Therefore, he supports Xiao Ai's idea and hopes that Xiao Ai can leave some bright colors in the rest of his life instead of being Lu Heng's subordinate forever.

At the very least, if Xiao Ai really turns into loess in the future, Lu Heng, who is living alone, can look at the sect that Xiao Ai once created and think about it...

The journey back home begins in this wordless silence.

Xiao Ai frowned and pondered the various ideas of accepting a disciple, and constantly studied the "Magic Skill" given to her by Lu Heng.

Lu Heng cultivated silently and did not disturb Xiao Ai's thoughts.

Soon, they saw the mountains of Hanyu Mountain appearing in the wilderness ahead.

They spent more than half a year tracking Sun Yan.

However, it only took two days to return via the same road.

When Lu Heng returned to the mountain, he was shocked to find that Jiu Mie, who was supposed to be guarding the mountain, was missing, and Huo Feng also entered the underground.

After some conversation, I found out what happened when Nian Cangqing came to the door after Lu Heng came down from the mountain.

I also know the lie told by Jiu Mie...

Thinking that Jiu Mie had specifically lied to help him cover up, but by chance, he happened to go to the north and bumped into Nian Cangqing... Lu Heng couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed again and again.

This man is really unlucky when he is unlucky.

In the six months since Lu Heng left Hanyu Mountain, Gu Yan had been sent back by the Pangjiang Water God.

Now Hanyu Mountain is quiet and peaceful. After Sun Yan returned, several disciples in the mountain gathered together again.

But after returning, Sun Yan was different from before.

This monkey who was always lazy is now the most diligent person in Hanyu Mountain besides Xiao Ai. He practiced hard every day and was no longer afraid of the boring practice. He even ignored Gu Yan's call to him to play.

Seeing his diligent and hardworking look, Lu Heng was stunned for a while. He checked Sun Yan's soul several times and confirmed that the apprentice was not possessed by a spirit. Lu Heng was relieved.

As for the underground demon, Lu Heng tried to communicate with him several times, hoping to pry out some secrets from this ancient evil.

But it's a pity that this guy is ignorant and ignores Lu Heng at all. Frankly speaking, unless Lu Heng lets it out, don't expect to know a thing from it.

In this regard, Lu Heng, who had failed many times, could only give up the plan to get information from the evil demon.

His soul turned into the calamity cloud in the sky, and he practiced day and night, not wanting to delay for even a moment, constantly absorbing the power of the thunder in the calamity cloud to strengthen himself.

He wanted to break through the fog of Yunhai Tiangong as soon as possible.

However, although Lu Heng's practice speed was much faster than that of ordinary people, there was no bottleneck. But it was nothing but a fool's dream to break through to a higher realm in a short time.

And in such a closed-door practice, time passed day by day.

The ten-year period set by Lu Heng Jiumie and Zhulong was approaching day by day, and the day when Lu Heng explored the ancient secrets was getting closer and closer.

But before the ten-year period arrived, another thing came earlier-the Xifeng tribe, which had been outside Hanyu Mountain for ten years, was now leaving.

According to the custom of the nine tribes of the Li people, after living in an anchor point for ten years, they will leave this place, migrate with their tribe members and the iron-eating beasts in the bleak autumn wind, leave all the gold and iron tools made in the past ten years, and distribute them to the nearby people, and then embark on the journey of migration, under the guidance of the spirits of their ancestors, to the next anchor point.

And the Xifeng tribe is leaving, so it is impossible to leave without saying goodbye.

When the old priest brought Qianqian to say goodbye, Lu Heng left Jieyun and appeared in front of the mountain gate after a long absence.

This Li tribe, which has been a neighbor of Lu Heng for ten years, can be regarded as one of Lu Heng’s friends in this world. Lu Heng has always liked the mature and prudent old priest, and Qianqian, the "girl" who is still playful, innocent and cute in her dozens of years.

He stood outside the mountain and said goodbye to the Xifeng tribe, and stood there watching the Li people leave.

Looking at the backs of the Li people leaving, Lu Heng suddenly seemed to see the day when they came to Shuisheng Village in the snow.

Before he knew it, so much time had passed. Even the children in Shuisheng Village outside the mountain who were once the same age as Xiao Ai have now grown up and married and had children.

From a distance, Lu Heng saw the body of an old hunter covered with wounds and blood being carried out of the woods by the young and strong men in the village. Following the wind, he heard the anxious conversation of the villagers and knew that the old hunter was attacked by a big insect when he went into the mountains to hunt.

And this old hunter was the old man who had been lonely for many years, spoke without restraint, and dared to say anything.

Ten years have left a clear mark on him.

The middle-aged hunter who was once quite strong is now old. He hunted in the mountains for a lifetime, but was finally buried under the claws of a tiger...

Lu Heng outside the mountain watched the scene from a distance, speechless.

A certain melancholy emotion emerged in his heart.

Unconsciously, he has been in this world for more than ten years...

Looking back at his former home Earth, it seems so strange, like a world he has never been to.
