The Old Gods

Chapter 798 I Come from the Mountains

After more than a year, Lu Ran returned to Luoxianju.

This private courtyard, which carries many of his memories, is as clean and tidy as ever. I guess Senior Sister Cheng Rou often comes to clean it.

By the way, if the Xunluo couple needs it, they can entrust their two children to Senior Sister Cheng Rou to help take care of them?

The ends of the earth obviously cannot give children a happy childhood.

On each island, soldiers of the Ran Men were often promoted, and the fog they summoned would often cover the island for ten days or half a month.

For young children, this kind of life is too hard.

Lu Ran thought secretly and came to the bathroom.

It is true that after people are promoted to Jiangjing, they become terribly clean.

But Lu Ran still solemnly turned on the shower.

As the hot water poured over his face, he felt relaxed.
The human world is still the best!

Look at this bright light, look at that clear mirror!

Look at the heroic young man in the mirror again!

Wow, how can a person be so majestic? Turns out it’s me.

That's fine.

"I came from the mountains, bringing with me orchid grass~" Lu Ran hummed a little tune and bathed happily.

In the east bedroom, Yan Shuangzi, who was making the bed, couldn't help but stop.

She seemed to hear the tune of a sprinkler truck?
The long-lost memories awakened deep in her heart made Yan Shuangzi a little dazed.

The childhood songs he hummed softly seemed to come from her previous life.
"Sister Shuangzi, what's wrong?" Jiang Ruyi asked.

In private, she would change the way she addressed some of her subordinates, and Deng Yuxiang and Yan Shuangzi were fortunate to be among them.

"He's singing." Yan Shuangzi came back to her senses and continued to make the bed with her head down.

Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but smile.

It seems difficult to associate something like humming a song while taking a bath with a towering celestial being, let alone Lu Ran's face that exudes a terrifying divinity.

This also means that he has not changed.

Jiang Ruyi asked himself, if he were to ascend to the heavenly realm, his state of existence would probably change greatly.

This so-called road to heaven is a road that destroys humanity.

"That's good." Jiang Ruyi said softly, "With him keeping us in check, we can be more like human beings."

"Yeah." Yan Shuangzi responded softly and suddenly moved her ears.

Without Madam Ranmen asking again, Yan Shuangzi immediately said, "Madam, someone is coming from the south."

Jiang Ruyi looked out the window and happened to see an old man in a white Taoist robe rushing to the gate of the courtyard.

Cheng Li also saw the woman standing in front of the window and couldn't help feeling a little excited.

After a year,
The Lord of Luoxian Mountain and his wife broke out from behind the Divine Ruins again?
Have they completed the task assigned by God?

After a moment, Jiang Ruyi came out and said softly, "Master."

"Madam." Cheng Li was filled with emotion. Through the woman's fairy-like appearance, he saw a more elegant and beautiful sword.

The elegant style is naturally inherited from his swordsmanship master Cheng Li.

But this one is beautiful.
Cheng Li said slowly: "It seems that Madam's swordsmanship has improved since she was in Shenxu."

"I often practiced sword dance with someone, and I was tainted with his aura." Jiang Ruyi's eyes showed a rare apology, "We didn't find that Grandpa Cheng Xin."

There was no trace of Cheng Xin in the mountains.

Even Bai Rao and Yan Chou who came from heaven did not see the progress letter.

"Madam, there is no need to do this. Everyone has their own destiny." Cheng Li was prepared.

Cheng Li was already very satisfied that the mountain master and his wife could help him find his brothers, and he didn't dare to ask for too much.

In fact, not only Master Cheng Xin, but also the brother of Wangquan disciple Li Rouyin who was asked by Lu Ran to find, and the disciple of Dongting named Hao Tian, ​​were not found by Lu Ran and others.

You know, Lu Ran was fighting and wandering around in the Holy Spirit Mountain.

But I still haven't seen Hao Tian.

Lu Ran could only comfort himself that the Holy Spirit Mountain was too big. If Hao Tian was smart enough and saw through the essence of the Holy Spirit Mountain early on and hid himself intently, it would be really difficult to find him.

"Madam has made rapid progress. I am ashamed to be inferior to her in terms of strength." Cheng Li sighed in his heart.

"Master, there is no need to underestimate yourself." Jiang Ruyi looked at the old man. Now she was on the same level as him and could clearly sense Cheng Li's strength.

Sea realm, fourth section.

As expected, he is a first-generation disciple!
Even if one stays in the "low-level martial arts world" of the human world, one can still achieve such results.

This time when Lu Ran was promoted to the Heavenly Realm, there are many more stone sculpture activation slots available. Could it be possible for the two old men Cheng Yi and Cheng Li to inherit one or two stone sculptures?

Grandpa Cheng has worked hard and made great contributions to the human race and the sect; he is loyal to the mountain master and can indeed go one step further.

Jiang Ruyi pondered secretly and whispered, "Tomorrow morning, ask Senior Sister Cheng Rou to send some food. Pick out some food that the mountain master likes."

Cheng Li naturally understood that the lady was ordering him to leave, so he suppressed the thought of asking more questions and said with a bow, "Yes, I will take my leave."

But he had just turned around and taken two steps when his whole body trembled!
Cheng Li opened his cloudy eyes wide, turned around suddenly, and even drew out the sword from his waist.

The next moment, Cheng Li was stunned.

In the sight, a young man in a loose white robe was standing at the entrance of Luoxianju, with a smile on his face and nodding.

"Mountain Master?" Cheng Li was shocked!
Madam Luoxian was only in her early twenties, but her strength at the fourth level of the Sea Realm was enough to make him dumbfounded.

However, when the Lord of Luoxian Mountain appeared, Cheng Li truly realized what it meant that there is always a mountain higher than another!

This, this, this?
What on earth is this? What kind of existence is this?
"Grandpa Cheng Li." Lu Ran stepped into the yard.

It was obvious that he came in a hurry. He was holding a white bath towel in his hand and rubbing his wet hair.

"Mountain Master." Cheng Li paused for a long time before speaking again, "You scared me to death."

"Hehe~" Lu Ran smiled and said as he passed by Jiang Ruyi, "I'm going to go out for a walk."

"Come back soon." Jiang Ruyi took the big towel and watched the old man and the young man leave the courtyard. She held the towel and sniffed it gently until they disappeared into the forest path.

Light jasmine scent.

Senior Sister Cheng Rou is indeed considerate. Not only does she often come to clean the room, she also frequently replaces the bathing supplies with new ones, and they are the same ones that Madam Luoxian usually uses.

"Ma'am, the bedroom has been tidied." A voice came from behind.

Jiang Ruyi subconsciously put down the towel, her face slightly flushed: "Oh, you should rest too."

The sky is full of twinkling stars.

The breeze blew through the mountains and forests, bringing the rustling sound of swaying branches and leaves.

On the forest path, Cheng Li kept a distance of several meters and followed Lu Ran.

"Is everything going well in the mountains lately?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.

"Everything is peaceful."

"Is there anything wrong with Lord Xianyang?" Lu Ran stopped for a moment at the fork in the road and walked towards the Luoxian Pavilion.

"Strange?" Cheng Li was a little confused.

As a believer, there is an unbridgeable gap between him and the gods, and he is not even qualified to communicate with them.

"No, that's the best." Lu Ran sighed and came to the Luoxian Pavilion.

Lord Xianyang has repeatedly stated that Lu Ran can do whatever he wants in Holy Spirit Mountain.

As the pride of the great country, Lu Ran would of course do what he should do.

However, the arrival of the Heavenly Realm Executioner completely woke Lu Ran up, making him realize that the Immortal Sheep Lord he worshipped might also be targeted by gods and demons.

Will they even be held accountable?

Is Master Xianyang really normal? Or perhaps, from Cheng Li's perspective, he doesn't know the relevant situation.

Lu Ran came to the Luoxian Pavilion, leaned his body and leaned his shoulder against the pavilion pillar: "I'm sorry, I couldn't find Grandpa Cheng Xin."

"Master, please don't blame yourself." Cheng Li sighed softly, "Most of the time, life is not as you wish. My second brother and I have already accepted it."

"Yeah." Lu Ran responded in a low voice while looking at Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake under the night sky.

Cheng Xin, Hao Tian.
I don’t know if we can meet again.

Lu Ran knew all too well about the cruelty of Holy Spirit Mountain. He just didn't want to admit the most likely outcome.

"Master, have you reached the sea?"

"Heavenly Realm."

"Heavenly realm." Cheng Li chewed on the word.

"not enough."

Cheng Li was secretly shocked and asked, "What is above the heavenly realm?"

“Uh.” Lu Ran thought about the realm divisions such as the first and second heavens, and said, “Heaven Beyond Heaven?”

Cheng Li: “.”

Lu Ran smiled and said, "I will be leaving soon. Don't tell anyone else that we are back."

"Madam just told Xiaorou to send some food over tomorrow morning."

"Oh?" Lu Ran immediately thought of the extremely delicious mushrooms, and his mind quickly changed, "Stir-fried mushrooms, I want to eat the green mushrooms!"

"Haha." Cheng Li laughed in silence.

One second he said not to disturb others, and the next second he ordered the food directly?
"Hehe~" Lu Ran grinned and looked at the old man, "Go back, I'll stay by myself for a while."

"I'll take my leave now." Cheng Li bowed and left quickly.

The mountain master is still the same Luoxian mountain master.

He has a gentle temperament, even a bit of a youthful mentality, but sharing the same pavilion with him is really too stressful.

Lu Ran turned his head and looked at the beautiful Erhai Lake under the moonlight, looking at the sparkling lake surface.

After a long time, he reached to the side and summoned out an ancient bronze mirror.

Most of the time things don’t go as planned?
There are always some things that are satisfactory.

Accompanied by a violent fluctuation of divine power, Yan Chou raised his head and looked straight ahead in the cave below the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm·The End of the Sky.

"You can't return to the human world for the time being." The young man's voice lingered in the dark cave. "I will tell her
Her ugly slave has been guarding the Yunhaichenqing Sword for her."

"Thank you, young master!" Yan Chou's hands trembled slightly, and he lowered his head to present the Yunhai Sword.

Holding the hilt of the sword, Lu Ran slowly retreated into the mirror.

"Huh~" the floor-length mirror disappeared.

"Om~" The Yun Haichen Qing sword vibrated slightly.

Under the same starry sky, in the distant capital city.

In the study of a private residence, a woman in snow-white clothes was kneeling in front of a low desk.

She held the pen in her bare hands, with a focused expression, writing something on the rice paper.

There is a small flowerpot in the corner of the desk, with exquisite weeping jasmine, emitting a faint jasmine fragrance.

Mixed with the scent of ink, it permeates the study.

A quiet night, a subtle and elegant fragrance, and a dignified and quiet person.

But all this beautiful atmosphere was suddenly broken.

The woman's hand holding the pen suddenly stopped, and the tip of the brush remained on the rice paper, causing more and more ink to appear on the paper.

The more you dye, the thicker it gets
Her eyes, like the deep water in a cold pond, were no longer icy cold, but were quietly rippling.

The unfinished poem on the paper seemed very appropriate:

"One mountain, two mountains, the mountains are high, the sky is far, the smoke and water are cold"
