Broken mirror to practice Taoism

"Master... I..." Ergou was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by Xue Yuandao's hand.

Before he finished speaking, he already passed out.Xue Yuandao hugged Ergou in his arms, and hugged him tightly unwillingly.

"Is it... becoming more and more impossible to restrain your memory?" Xue Yuandao's eyes were bright red at the moment, and there was a dark red aura hovering around his body.He immediately picked up Ergou and brought them directly into the only room in the yard.

Ergou slept for a day, so Xue Yuandao didn't go anywhere, and rested in his room for a day.

In the evening, Ergou woke up from his sleep, and Xue Yuandao was sitting not far from his bed.The sun was setting and the snow was falling, and Xue Yuandao's hair was sprinkled with a little light. Er Gou just sat up, looking at Xue Yuandao's side face at this moment, feeling a little dazed.

"Are you awake?" Xue Yuandao turned to look at Ergou and asked.

"Yeah." Ergou nodded immediately, and said with some embarrassment, "Why did I fall asleep again?"

"It's probably too deserted." Xue Yuandao explained for Ergou, "Tomorrow, I'm going to get some things for your master..."

Before Xue Yuandao finished speaking, he looked up at Ergou, and Ergou happened to be looking at Xue Yuandao, waiting for him to finish his next words.

"You...don't leave Tianlingdao." Xue Yuandao instructed.

"Okay." Ergou nodded honestly.

Xue Yuandao was not at ease, and emphasized it again, "Never leave Tianlingdao, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Master, if you are worried, I will stay here and not go anywhere."

Hearing Ergou's promise, Xue Yuandao felt a little relieved. He smiled gently and said, "You have always been obedient."

Early the next morning, before Ergou woke up, Xue Yuandao had already left the door.Ergou thought that he slept all day yesterday, so he must not be able to sleep last night.Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down on the bed, he fell asleep again, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.

The courtyard where Xue Yuandao was located was already deserted, but after Xue Yuandao left, the courtyard with two dogs and one person left became even more deserted.It was snowing outside the house, but it was surprisingly not cold.Ergou put on a coat and sat in the snow, meditating.

In the dark world, a flame slowly ignited. Slowly, the flame turned into a real shadow, and the whole body was red, as if it was burning with the flame.Ergou stretched out his hand to hold the real figure in front of him, and a string of characters with flames slowly appeared in the darkness.Ergou clearly saw those words, but he couldn't remember them. The real image in his hand slowly changed into a whip or a gun. Ergou could feel a cluster of flames like the real image on his chest. Burning, warm, not hot.

Ergou stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the cluster of flames in his chest, but suddenly woke up from his meditation.His whole body was covered with snow, it must have been a long time.

Ergou got up from the snow, shook the snow all over his body, and obviously touched his body, but it didn't melt, and he wasn't frozen by the snow, Ergou felt a little incredible.The sun was right in the middle, and it was about noon. Er Gou felt his stomach was empty, so he decided to find something to eat.

After much deliberation, only Taoist Ling is the most suitable place.

Before Ergou went out, he left a message so that Xue Yuandao could not find him when he came back.Daoist Ling's courtyard is on the east side of Lingyue Mountain. You can walk all the way from Xue Yuandao's place without passing through the center. This is why Ergou likes to come here.

Having not been to this yard for more than 200 years, Ergou couldn't help feeling a little emotional.The path leading to the courtyard where Daoist Ling lived was not specially paved. Lingyue Mountain is a very magical mountain, but there are only four different courtyards, but it contains four seasons.

The courtyard where Xue Yuandao lived had accumulated snow for a hundred years, so it was winter, and it was called Dongluozhuang among outsiders.And the courtyard where Ling Daochang was located happened to be in spring, walking slowly along the path, the chill gradually deepened, and it was the coldest in the place where the snow melted in early spring.A thin layer of icy fog rose on the creek flowing between the roads, and the two dogs couldn't help shivering.

Going forward, there will be a hundred flowers blooming slowly. When you walk to the bottom position, you can see a hundred flowers blooming as hard as they can under a gate, and there are butterflies fluttering their wings around, very busy.

There are three characters written on the top of the gate, over there is the name of this yard - "Chunhuayuan".

Ergou didn't go in through the gate, and there was no one guarding the gate, so he took a detour.

The road from the trail leads directly to the gate of Chunhuayuan, but what Ergou really likes is the bamboo forest where Chunhuayuan and Dongluozhuang intersect.Even if it wasn't as quiet and lingering as freezing, nor as lively as when everything was revived, this bamboo forest was the same as when he followed Xue Yuandao down the mountain, without any change.

"who are you?"

Er Gou just found a honest bamboo pole and wanted to lean on it to rest, but suddenly heard a girl's voice behind him.Ergou turned his head and looked over. The little girl Ergou always felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"who are you?"

"I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell you who I am." The girl's eyes were wide open, and her cheeks were bulging when she looked at Er Gou, which was very cute. "Hurry up and report your name, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Ergou happened to be idle and bored, seeing the angry look of the little girl in front of him, he couldn't help but want to tease her, "What's your identity? Tell me, let's see if I'm scared or not?"

When the little girl heard Er Gou's words, the flesh on her cheeks became even more bulging, and she stared straight at Er Gou and shouted: "Presumptuous! How dare you be rude in front of this lady!"

Ergou just wanted to say "don't be angry", but the sword in the little girl's hand has already been shot.Ergou took a few steps back and easily dodged the little girl's attack.The sword in the little girl's hand is as white as snow, and the moment it is unsheathed, it can give people a very bleak sadness.

"The little girl has a big temper." Er Gou didn't look serious when he laughed. He looked at the little girl in front of him and didn't run away, just stood where he was, like a provocation.

Seeing Xue Yuandao's appearance, the little girl stomped her feet angrily, and rushed towards Ergou with the sword in her hand in the next second.

During the time he was with Xue Yuandao, Ergou always felt like he had just joined the Tao. No matter what kind of opponent he encountered, Xue Yuandao could always solve it easily, and he was not needed to play at all.So even if Taoist Lingyue told him that he had entered the Nascent Soul stage, Ergou actually didn't feel anything.

But at this moment when he was fighting with the little girl, Ergou really felt the difference.Now he only needs to jump lightly to avoid every sword stabbed by the little girl at any time. Even if the girl in front of him does not move, he can still predict the position of her next attack from the changes in her aura.

"Don't run if you can!"

"I can't beat you, why don't you run away?" Er Gou pretended to be weak and said.

Hearing what Ergou said, the little girl became even angrier. She raised the sword with both hands, ignoring the image of the girl, and slashed at Ergou in front of her. Ergou easily dodged and avoided the girl again.But this time the little girl didn't chase Ergou any more, she just sat down on the ground with a plop, and then burst into tears.

"Ahhh——" the little girl cried over and over again, and her cries were heard everywhere around her.

Er Gou was a little helpless, and sat not far away, watching him cry.But as soon as Ergou sat on the ground, he suddenly felt a strong aura surrounding him, and then a middle-aged man suddenly appeared next to the little girl, picked the little girl up from the ground, patted her on the back and asked, "Yue'er Don't cry, what's wrong?"

As soon as she saw the middle-aged man, the little girl stopped crying immediately, then pointed at Ergou aggrievedly and said, "Daddy, he bullied me."

Many question marks appeared on Ergou's head, looking at the father and daughter in front of him, he wanted to explain something.But the middle-aged man in front of him didn't intend to give him a chance to explain. He had a sword that was not much different from the little girl's around his waist. As soon as the sword was drawn out of his waist, Ergou felt that the surrounding air became cold.

"Bold boy, dare to bully Yue'er!"

Er Gou was very helpless, stopped his hand and said: "This Taoist priest, please speak up if you have something to say, I didn't bully your Yue'er, I just took a nap here, who knows..."

Before Ergou finished speaking, he felt a chill coming from behind him. Before he had time to think, he had already pulled out the real shadow from his waist.The real shadow instantly turned into a shield, and an ice spike hit the shield, which was instantly melted by the flames on the shield, turning into a puddle of water and falling to the ground.

"The Taoist master is very skillful, but you can't just do it without reason!" Ergou blocked the man's blow, and said to the man with an unscrupulous smiling face.

The man gritted his teeth and frowned, retracted his sword and took a few steps back, "I didn't expect that besides Taoist Ling Yue and Taoist Xue, there are such masters in Tianling Dao!"

Er Gou held the shield in one hand, retracted it and waved towards the ground, the shield transformed into the real shadow disappeared, and returned to the original sword shape.

"But even so, you are just a child!"

Ergou stood where he was, but the man disappeared in front of him, along with the little girl who was crying just now.Snow slowly began to fall in the sky above his head, and soon his feet were covered with a thin layer of snow.

The surrounding chill was piercing, and the aura permeated every corner of the air. Ergou stood where he was, and finally put away his indecent smile.He used a real shadow to form a circle around his body, and Luoxue immediately spread out around the circle.

"Hey——" Ergou stood in the middle and shouted into the air, "Let's stop fighting, can we come out and talk about it?"

No one answered him in the air.

"It's okay for me to surrender, and it's okay to apologize." Ergou said.

The snow around Ergou slowly gathered towards him again, Ergou hesitated holding Shiying's hand.

The cultivation level of this middle-aged man is not necessarily higher than him, but judging from his deeds, he must have experienced more than himself.If it was really going to be a hand-to-hand fight, Ergou really didn't have full confidence in defeating him.
