My apprentice is a little weird?

Jiang Yan and the other two walked along an unknown path, surrounded by lush greenery. The summer sun shone through the gaps between the mottled leaves, creating patches of light and shadow. There were occasional thorns on both sides of the path, as if no one had walked on it for a long time.

It was quiet in the distance, with only the chirping of birds and cicadas.

They walked along like this, Fuling was like a teacher, leading the way diligently and responsibly, while Jiang Yan and Shen Ming were like primary school students on a spring outing.

The two of them were laughing and playing behind him, sometimes chasing each other, sometimes squatting together and curiously looking at the small animals passing slowly on the ground, whispering to "make way" for them. Sometimes they teased each other mischievously, and a small action could trigger a "war", but in the blink of an eye they would make peace and continue their happy journey.

The journey was very lively, with laughter echoing in the mountains, coloring the surrounding scenery with a layer of joy and making the originally monotonous journey full of fun and vitality.

Even Fuling was somewhat infected, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

"Brother Fu, where are you from?"

Fuling's tall and sturdy body led the way ahead, holding a hatchet in his hand and cutting through many trees and weeds.

"As for me, my home is in Lingxiang, but I haven't been back for many years. I just returned to Lingxiang this year. You don't look like locals, why did you come here?"

"We are from the Outer Realm. We wandered around and happened to come here."

"Hahaha, you guys are quite capable. This place is the most prosperous county under the capital of Yubao Kingdom. It takes two months to walk to the nearest border. And this Yubao Kingdom is not as prosperous as the surrounding Jinglan Domain, Daqing Kingdom, and Dongliao Domain, Sanyuan Kingdom. How can you guys persist all the way until now? Hahaha~"

Jiang Yan didn't think much of it. Isn't it better to leisurely stroll along the way and enjoy the mountains and rivers than to simply go into the city?

"It's the same for you, buddy. You ended up coming back here."

"I'm different. I have a goal."

"Looking for immortals?"

"Tsk, what immortal are we looking for? We just happened to know about this place and came back to join in the fun. This is not my main purpose~"

Fuling chuckled as if it didn't matter, then swung a knife to cut through the tangled weeds in front of him!

Jiang Yan did not ask him about his purpose in detail, but just lowered his head slightly and rubbed his chin.

"General Assembly~ By now, the Fifth Elder should have arrived with the branch of the Ancient Immortal Sect. If that's the case~ then I won't go in and will just wander around the lower floor to avoid bumping into him and causing embarrassment~"

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yan smiled and looked forward. It was only then that he noticed something strange about Fuling and his eyelids twitched slightly.

"Dude...are you...sure you're heading in the right direction?"

Fuling turned around and saw that his hair, beard and clothes were all covered with thorns, weeds and dead branches. His skin was even cut in several places and was bleeding. He looked like a wild man.

And because the two of them were diligent in paving the way for Fuling, they didn't have the slightest mess...

"No problem, huh? I remember this is it? We just need to climb this mountain and pass through a crack to get there?"

After hearing this, Shen Ming subconsciously looked up at the towering mountain above him, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head?

This mountain is so big...where are you going to find the crack?

Although she thought so, Shen Ming did not remind her. This was good. Fuling Passerby A and she and Master roamed the mountains and had fun together.

Whatever the big or small thing is, just stay aside, she has the master, that's enough~

But... Jiang Yan doesn't think so.

Fuling turned around and continued to chop the weeds to clear a path, while Jiang Yan took out the "invitation" which contained the directions to the Chengfeng Sword Sect.

"Since it is held by the Chengfeng Sword Sect, the scope of the venue should be quite wide. I think the general direction should be......"

He sensed it carefully, and sent out his spiritual sense to explore in the general direction, and then found a trace of forbidden fluctuations in a crack somewhere halfway up the mountain!

"I found it, but I'm afraid it will take three days to get to this location..."

Jiang Yan looked speechlessly at Fuling who was still working hard to clear the way.

"Forget it, meeting is fate, why don't I lend you a hand~" (Too lazy to spend the night in the wild)

With this in mind, Jiang Yan raised his hand where Fuling couldn't see. The magic power surged out of his hand and then he manipulated it with his mind to transform it into strands of silk threads, outlining a magic of the universe in the void!

Always using space mantras is ultimately a shortcut. The best strategy is to delve deeper based on the mantras and work out your own techniques.

This was what he figured out when he was trapped by Shen Ming. It could change the space of the surrounding area within a certain limit.

"Shrinking the Earth"

Fuling blinked. Although the scenery around him had not changed at all, he had the illusion that everything had changed. The road in front of him suddenly became clear and empty.

Then a crack several dozen feet high appeared in the cliff, as if it was embedded in it.

"Hey! Here we are!"

Fuling's rough voice sounded excitedly, then she turned around, waved at them and ran forward on her own.

Shen Ming looked at Jiang Yan with resentment.

"Master, it's a rare opportunity for us to go sightseeing, but you're so unwilling to go with Shen Ming?"

Jiang Yan tightened the green belt around his waist.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If you cut open your little head, it's full of yellow waste."

“When you see a sea of ​​flowers all over the mountain, the first thing you think of is to “roll” in the flowers; when you see green fruit trees, the first thing you think of is to “ride” under the trees; when you see a golden lake, the first thing you think of is to be by the lake; when you see a towering mountain, the first thing you think of is to have a “sightseeing” at the top of the mountain…”

"I…………"

Jiang Yan couldn't help but cover his face when he said this...

"I can't say any more..."

Shen Ming's face was as red as a beautiful peach blossom, cute but also a little shy and embarrassed, her little finger quietly hooked around Jiang Yan~

"Master... I don't want to~"

"I……"

"Ahem! Let's go!"

Jiang Yan quickly turned around and pulled Shen Ming to follow Fuling.

…………

This crack was plain and ordinary, as if it was formed naturally. It was several dozen feet high and wide enough for three people to pass side by side. It was pitch black inside and one could not see what was inside.

Fuling stood in front of the crack, and when Jiang Yan caught up, she asked casually, "What were you doing just now? Why didn't you follow me?"

Jiang Yan remained calm: "To discuss important matters."

Fuling chuckled and didn't ask any further questions. He pointed forward:

"We'll be there once we get in. I'll lead the way and you guys just follow behind~"

"Um"

Fuling went in first, and Jiang Yan followed closely behind, holding Shen Ming's hand.

I could feel her warm body temperature and...that mischievous finger in my palm.

Of course Jiang Yan subconsciously ignored it, his attention was all on the restrictions hidden around him!

"It's not brilliant, it's just clever~"

'Although it is a spiritual pattern restriction, it relies on the natural terrain to gather spirits and lead to secluded places. It is indeed ingenious~ But this restriction is not something that ordinary people who know nothing about can easily enter and exit. It should be that the Chengfeng Sword Sect has recently opened up access rights.'
