Immortal Mansion Longevity

Chapter 586 20 years later
"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, I still have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

Dressed neatly, Liu Yu walked in front of the door and said with cupped hands.

Looking at Zhuo Mengzhen whose cheeks were still blushing and whose clothes were half covered, there was no wavering in his heart.

Only because of this, he entered the state of "like a saint like a Buddha".

"Um"

The audience watched Liu Yu get dressed, and Zhuo Mengzhen responded in a low voice.

For some reason, she seemed to be in a low mood, and she didn't continue to practice and digest the results of the double cultivation immediately.

Hearing this, Liu Yu didn't have any tender thoughts, and immediately walked out.

Although doing so would indeed raise the suspicion of not recognizing people, but he has always been used to looking at problems from the perspective of interests, rather than talking about feelings.

If it's about relationships, everything would be too troublesome. He doesn't have that much time.

If it is only about benefits, Liu Yu does not owe this woman anything.

Because his own cultivation base is higher, and he cultivates all three paths together, the other party can obviously gain more benefits during the whole process of double cultivation.

As for him, it is not a loss to temporarily solve the sequelae of the exercises.

And on the way later, you can also provide some small help to the other party.

From this point of view, it seems that both parties are making money, so it doesn't matter what they owe.

Noticing the other person's mood, Liu Yu didn't think too much, and walked out of the woman's room.

Looking at the other party's leaving figure on the stone bed, a trace of disappointment flashed in Zhuo Mengzhen's eyes.

Because she was the target she wanted to chase, she had learned about Liu Yu's information.

Knowing that the other party has three concubines, and has unclear relationships with many female nuns, and is not the kind of monk who is easily fettered by emotions.

However, thinking of the demeanor of the other party rescuing himself from the group of monsters, and his strong posture all the time, he still couldn't help but feel a strange feeling.

It was only when Liu Yu left without dragging his feet that he couldn't stop the sense of loss.

Perhaps, this is the female cultivator, even a powerful female cultivator is sometimes more emotional.

Or, as "Mr. Zhou" said.
……

Back in the room, Liu Yu took out the thick "Youmeng Heart Sutra", and turned to the page that recorded "Dameng Chunqiu" and began to enlighten it.

He has already comprehended this secret technique to a great extent, and he believes that he will be able to fully comprehend it in a day or two, and then he will be able to formally start practicing it.

That is to say, "Dream of Spring and Autumn" is very suitable for Liu Yu, but if it is a more powerful spell, he may not be able to practice it.

Because in terms of attack, he has the sunset golden rainbow gun, Qingyang magic fire, ten thousand soul banner and other means, which are enough to deal with most situations, and he also knows several third-level spells.

The cultivation of each third-level spell must consume a lot of time. Even a golden core monk with a lifespan of six or seven hundred years has very limited time available.

During the period, not only do you have to accumulate a huge amount of mana, but you also have to prepare for the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul and run around for cultivation resources.

If what you learn is miscellaneous but not refined, and it will not be of great help to the future, then there is almost no hope of condensing the Nascent Soul.

Not all monks are able to learn it at once. Behind every spell and every art of cultivating immortals requires countless sweat and hard work, and there are often no shortcuts.

So if you want to go further, you have to make trade-offs.

Liu Yu knew this very well, so after forming the alchemy, he only learned a few third-level spells, covering three aspects of attack, defense, and assistance.

After that, no more learning.

After all, he is cultivating all three ways, and there is not much time left. In terms of time, he must plan carefully, and some things cannot be greedy.

Usually some things are handed over to the subordinates to save their time as much as possible.

Of course, there is still time to relax and relax occasionally.

Two days later, the enlightenment of the secret technique "Dream Spring and Autumn" was completed, and Liu Yu officially began to practice.

In the underground cave that is nearly a hundred feet deep, everything is gradually on the right track.

Every year, Liu Yu would leave the temporary cave for a short time to go outside to observe the situation of the demon cultivators.

It wasn't until the third year that the inspections of demon cultivators gradually decreased, and in the fifth year, the frequency of occurrences returned to normal.

A group of people also set off in the fifth year, embarking on an unknown journey.

……

The cold comes and goes, the autumn is harvested and winter is hidden.

The vegetation withers and grows again, the four seasons are changing, and the only constant is the scorching sun in the sky.

As the four of them hurried on their way cautiously, another 15 years passed in a blink of an eye.

The night was long and dim.

A few strands of colorful brilliance suddenly emerged from a pile of strange rocks, gradually outlining four figures.

The first person has black hair and a black robe, and his pupils are as black as ink, shining with a rational luster.

He is tall and strong, with a firm face and exudes a strong masculinity.

However, most of his face was covered by the hood that came with the black robe, making him look a little mysterious and terrifying.

"Whoo~"

Liu Yu lifted his hood, exhaled heavily, vicissitudes flashed in his eyes, and his face was full of weather and fatigue.

He opened his palm and pressed his fingers one by one, counting the time to enter the Hengduan Mountain Range.

"One year, two years, eight years, 28 years."

"Fifty-eight years."

"Unknowingly, it has been 28 years since I entered the Hengduan Mountains."

"Liu is also close to two hundred years old."

After calculating the time and his own age, Liu Yu sighed softly and said with emotion.

Zhuo Mengzhen, Mu Yunyan, and Gao Jianhan also looked depressed when they heard the words, with a little bewilderment in their eyes.

In his 28 years of "smuggling" career, he lived in fear every day, fearing that he would be noticed by the demon cultivator.

Even a Jindan cultivator's mental capacity is close to the limit.

The faces of the four of them were full of wind and frost, and the exhaustion in their bodies and hearts could not be suppressed, and all of them showed on their faces.

For 28 years, even Liu Yu, who has a heart like a rock, is tired of this kind of life!

"A full 28 years."

In the dark pile of strange rocks, Gao Jianhan looked at the continuous volcano in the distance, his voice hoarse.

At this time, the appearance of this person has changed a lot from 20 years ago.

On the chin, a three-inch long beard grew out of no order, and it didn't mean to cut it off, looking a bit unkempt.

The current appearance is more vicissitudes and calm, like a wandering swordsman accompanied by a sword.

In darkness, there is no light.

The four of them merged into the dense darkness, their silhouettes were hazy, and there were only four pairs of bright eyes that shone with a little luster.

"Can we really reach Zhongyu?"

The volcano in the distance was shining brightly, emitting light and heat to dispel the darkness, but Mu Yunyan looked into her eyes, feeling extremely at a loss in her heart.

That bright brilliance does not belong to them.

Here, they are like street rats, they can only hide and sneak in dark corners!

"Definitely!"

Liu Yu's tone was firm, without any hesitation, and he continued:
"28 years, such a long journey, I don't know how many dangers there are on the way, and I have made it through."

"How can I be blocked by the difficulties in front of me!"

"According to the records, the "Xinghuo Mountains" are located in the second half of the journey."

"As long as I pass through this blockade, I will not be far from Datang's "Annan Protectorate Mansion"."

"All the hard work will be rewarded as it should be!"

Looking at the flames in the distance, his face was full of determination.

Although there are many uncertainties in his heart, Liu Yu knows that as the strongest person in the team, he must not lose confidence.

If even he loses confidence, the team will be even more hopeless.

For 28 years, no matter how firm the will is, it will wear down in the torment.

They have experienced too much danger and suffering.

Even Jindan cultivators began to waver in their beliefs, feeling at a loss in their hearts, and worried about their future prospects.

Even Liu Yu had to admit that there was a slight shake in his heart, and he was no longer firm and calm as before.

It's just that he is used to not showing his emotions on the surface, so he didn't show it.

"I hope so."

Mu Yunyan sighed and replied softly.

Over the past 20 years, this woman has changed a lot. She is no longer dressed as a girl in a palace costume, but now she is wearing a red dress.

It looks mature and charming, and the whole person looks a lot neater.

Zhuo Mengzhen's eyes were shining brightly, standing two feet away from Liu Yu, quietly watching Xinghuo Mountains without saying a word.

At this time, she looked much more mature, she had the temperament of a new wife, and there was a hint of charm in her brows, she was a completely different person from before entering the mountain.

Over the past 20 years, she has gotten used to the ambiguous relationship between the two, and everyone knows it well, so now she no longer hides it.

At this time, with the blessing of Shuangxiu, this woman's realm has been promoted to the middle stage of Jindan.

Among them, Liu Yu's contribution is naturally indispensable.

Tonight was gloomy, and the bright moon was covered by dark clouds. The four of them stood quietly in the dark pile of strange rocks, silently observing the movement of Xinghuo Mountains.

Thinking of something from time to time, the four of them occasionally said something, and each other didn't know what they were thinking.

Perhaps, it is worrying about the future.

According to ancient records, the Xinghuo Mountains are the territory of the Huofeng Clan, which has lasted from ancient times to the present.

The strength of its group is extremely astonishing, even for the fourth-order metamorphosis demon cultivators, each generation maintains above double digits.

According to legend, there are still demon cultivators.

It's just that the four people's knowledge of the Huofeng clan is still in the ancient books, and it is unknown what the real situation is now.

At this point, you have to go through some observations to know the real situation.

Liu Yu let go of her thoughts, looked into the distance quietly, and tried her best to relieve the negative emotions in her heart.

After a while, after calming down the turbulent waves in the heart lake, the information of the Fire Phoenix Clan flashed in his mind.

Although it is called "Fire Phoenix", this Fire Phoenix family has little to do with the real Phoenix.

At most, it has a trace of true spirit blood, so it can be regarded as the "distant relative" of the true spirit phoenix.

But even so, compared to ordinary monsters, the blood of the Huofeng clan is extremely powerful, ranking at the top of the blood of spirit monsters, and they are nobles among nobles!

Comparable to the Jiaolong family, like the king of all monsters.

And it is said that since ancient times, the Huofeng clan has a long inheritance, even the Yuanying sect of the human race seems very ordinary and insignificant in front of it.

There are many "old antiques" in the clan.

Any single fire phoenix is ​​far stronger than the same level, and it is common for the smaller the realm to fight.

Although its group size is small, its chances of being promoted to Tier [-] and Tier [-] are far higher than ordinary demon cultivators, and they have many minions.

Mu Yunyan, Gao Jianhan, and Zhuo Mengzhen faced an early third-order fire phoenix alone, even if they were a small realm higher, they might not be able to defeat it.

After waiting and watching for a long time, Zhuo Mengzhen opened up an underground space, and Mu Yunyan arranged the "Ice Soul Mysterious Light Array" to cover it up as usual.

Lian Yue was physically and mentally exhausted from the journey. At this time, the four of them were not in the mood to think about how to deal with the current difficulties. They just wanted to take a good rest.

Let's talk about the future after the break.

"Boom"

As a water-blue light curtain lit up and finally became invisible again, the arrangement of the ice soul profound light array had been completed.

Seeing this, the four of them went back to their respective rooms.

When Zhuo Mengzhen returned to the room, she looked back at someone as if inadvertently.

Her stone door was only closed, but the restriction was not opened.

"."

Liu Yu understood, and nodded unobtrusively.

He first returned to his room, and after a while, he reappeared in the hall, coming from the door of Zhuo Mengzhen's room.

"Boom"

With a random spell, the door slowly opened.

"Tap"

The stone door was wide open, and Liu Yu saw the female cultivator sitting in front of the dressing table at a glance, and walked into it with familiar steps.

From behind, he hugged the female cultivator.

A pair of slightly cold little hands also naturally wrapped themselves around his neck at this moment, tightly wrapping around his neck, the movements were extremely skillful.

At this moment, neither of them spoke.

Because of the sequelae of the exercises, coupled with the journey that feels like years
The unclear relationship has been maintained until now.

Regarding Liu Yu's previous situation, and regarding Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan, Zhuo Mengzhen didn't ask much, but just carefully understood the current feeling.

"Boom"

The ban is opened, and the stone gate is closed.

([-] words omitted here)

……

All subsided.

Five or six hours later, Zhuo Mengzhen sat cross-legged on the futon and practiced.

With the blessing of dual cultivation, although she did not take the elixir, the speed of this woman's cultivation is not slow, and now she is also walking a distance in the middle stage of the golden elixir.

Liu Yu was dressed neatly, and now she felt much more relaxed physically and mentally, and was no longer depressed as before.

According to past habits, he intends to leave here.

"Ok?"

Walking to a small pink table, Liu Yu paused.

On the small table, there were still a few sheets of white paper and a folded origami crane.

More folded origami cranes were put into a transparent jar.

He accidentally discovered that one of the half-folded white papers seemed to be the one he had seen more than 20 years ago, and the second couplet of that year had already been written.

"Thousands of thoughts fold into a crane"

"Thousands of Emotions Written in Poetry"

Liu Yu read out in a low voice.

Looking back at Zhuo Mengzhen, the blush on his face seemed to be a little more, and his eyebrows trembled undetectably.

"."

He took a deep look at her, but said nothing, as if he didn't understand, he left the woman's room directly.

Although the process is extremely difficult, the hardships of trekking through mountains and rivers and hiding in Tibet are beyond human experience.

Liu Yu's faith was once shaken.

But thinking about the Immortal Dao of Longevity, after a short period of confusion, he became firm and steadily moved towards his original goal.

At this time, he only had one thought in his mind, which was to reach the Central Territory!

As for everything else, you have to lean back and have no time to think about it.

"Tap"

Footsteps sounded, Liu Yu's figure gradually moved away, and finally disappeared.

In the room, Zhuo Mengzhen opened his eyes, bit his lips lightly, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Afterwards, she closed the door and opened the restriction, and continued to practice.

In the current environment, it would take all the courage to make a trial.

The difficult reality does not allow her to think wildly, she must seize the opportunity to improve her strength.

……

As usual, after two days of rest, the four of them gathered in the hall to discuss the countermeasures for passing the "Sparks Mountains".

　PS: It's a bit of a text, there is still a chapter of [-] words in the early morning, but fellow Taoists, don't wait, you can read it in the morning.
