Wandao long distance

This is the story of Li Qi's tranquility in the Xuanjing Mountain Cave Mansion in the past when he was still at the sixth level.

The sun and the moon push each other to make the dawn grow, and the cold and heat push each other to make the year mature.

Another year has passed, and all things have changed, and every year passes.

Between the heaven and the earth, the clear air and the turbid air change places, the cold air and the hot air are billowing, and the movement of the sky is vigorous and non-stop. If the earth and the earth cannot move along to cope with its movement, then the work of creation may almost cease. Every year, it is... A 'node' in the movement of heaven and earth, which represents a successful cycle between heaven and earth.

This is 'year'.

It is always said how many years, but actually outside the endless realm, this unit is difficult to unify. Some places calculate it based on the cycles of the world, and some calculate it based on the movement of the sun and the moon. There are countless various calendars. How many worlds are there? There are as many calendars as there are.

However, the world calculates this kind of time only according to the world's calendar, which is the time it takes for the world's energy to rotate once. Even if it is a year or how many years, it is based on this standard.

However, for practitioners, such a time is too short, so there are longer units. For example, the first year of a sixty-year-old in the Ganzhi calendar is called the "Jiazi year", which is the time when the heavenly stems and earthly branches each move once, and more The long 'Ji', 'Yuan', etc., but the bezoar's life is relatively short, and he has not been exposed to those very large units for the time being, so the 'year' is still very important to him.

On Xuanjing Mountain, you need to climb the mountains with deep grass. Normally no mortals come here. It is the residence of monsters. Standing here and looking around, you can see white clouds all over the sky. Below the peak, there are many The peak is like a flower, with only one peak exposed, and the sunlight reflects on it, like a curling kettle in the Yao world, unable to distinguish between sea and land.

The rare beauty is even more beautiful when set off by a little bit of frost and snow in winter.

"Master Bezoar! These are all, is there anything else to move?" Several leopards that have not yet transformed but have become monsters are following Bezoar, dragging behind them the products of many New Years.

For the mountain god Bezoar, who is worshiped by many ethnic groups in the mountains, the New Year is a big festival. It is an important node for him to regulate the mountains and rivers within a year. He also needs to accept incense from mortals and manage it one by one with the gods and dharma bodies who supervise the mortal world.

That's what he's doing now, but he's exhausted.

The wandering gods from all directions, the shrines of ancestral humans and ghosts, and the patrolling gods and dharma bodies all require him to deal with them as a local land. However, this can be regarded as a sweet trouble. The land gods with a radius of thousands of miles around Xuanjing Mountain are very troublesome. Great location.

Having many things to do means great power and high status.

"No need, you go ahead. The next thing is between me and these boys." Bezoar kicked the ground, and some pure earth energy surged out of the ground.

It's a reward and a red envelope for the New Year.

The leopard monsters smiled happily, bowed and thanked them, and then ran home quickly. They were also celebrating the New Year, and it was time to go home and prepare for themselves.

The bezoar kicked over the things brought by the leopards. After a closer look, he found that they were all 'lamps', lamps of different colors, although they were not lit yet.

"Boys, come to work. Hang these up in the afternoon and we can go to the party in the evening." Bezoar shouted.

As he shouted, many mice, squirrels, birds, various insects, butterflies, dragonflies, centipedes, and even a few people, all cubs, emerged from the forest.

The New Year is also the time when these cubs are most jubilant.

They were called out by the bezoar, and they took the lanterns away and hung them in the mountains and forests.

"Master." At this time, several mice, a lark, and a human child came to Bezoar's side.

Bezoar always appears in the mountains and has no airs, so even these children are not afraid of him.

"What? You're not allowed to take the red envelope first and then do the work, you have to finish it." Niuhuang said.

But I saw the lark landed on the horn of the bezoar, and chirped: "We have to hang these lights every year, what are they hanging for?"

"What are you hanging here for? Of course it's to celebrate the New Year. This is the New Year, so putting up lanterns and hanging colors is what it should be. Tonight's banquet has the whole mountain gathered together, and all ethnic groups and villages are also coming. You guys You should know, right?" Bezoar said.

"But, but, I wanted to ask last year." A little mouse said next to Bezoar's hooves: "The ones we hung last year seemed to have been taken down without being used at all. It was the same the year before last, and the year before that. I'll go Asked my dad, he said they had failed it when they were kids, but it never seemed to have any effect.”

"It doesn't matter if you don't use it, it's the best if you use it. Don't ask so many questions, kid, just hang up. It's not like I'm missing your red envelope." Niuhuang pretended to be angry and stepped on his hoof.

The little mice ran away happily. They were just curious and didn't really care about it.

It's just hanging lights on the treetops and cliffs. These children are very skilled. Even the human child can easily jump around on the bamboo.

Everyone was in joy because Bezoar was really a very kind mountain god. Under his protection, the area around Xuanjing Mountain was not only a fairyland on earth, but also a place of peace and tranquility.

All kinds of lanterns were hung all over the mountain, and Bezoar looked down below, smiling and saying nothing.

These children don't know that in addition to him, the mountain god, there is another protector on this mountain. If it weren't for the other person's face, it would be difficult for him to be so peaceful here.

Although the other party seemed very cold, after attending the banquet decades ago, Niuhuang knew that he was actually a very kind person. It was just that the couple did not like to actively socialize, and they often stayed in the cave for decades. So these children have never heard their names.

Now that decades have passed, Bezoar rarely sees each other. I hope the young master is well.

But no matter what, etiquette must be fulfilled. Bezoar has always been very grateful to this young master, so he hangs it every year, even if he knows that the other party may not notice this little thing at all.

But it doesn't matter, the young master can not care, he can't care. This loyal and steady old scalper still remembers the kindness of the other party and the promotion of canonizing himself as the righteous god.

The preparations for the new year are going on as usual.

----------

It's already late at night, the New Year has passed, and it's just those few minutes at the end of the year.

New Year's Day.

Li Qi thought this and looked at Shen Shuibi beside him.

Tutu is still pregnant and should not move lightly. Li Qi has no habit of going down the mountain, so he stays by her side, enjoying the world of the two of them. Now they have been drinking for three times, and the couple's faces are a little red.

During the New Year, lanterns are lit everywhere, and sheng, drums and Lantern Festival are played.

Only people in the mountains love peace and quiet, sitting in a small building watching the moon rise.

The cave in the mountain was quiet, and there was no festive atmosphere. Li Qi and others just watched the lively mortals below the mountain. The mice, trees, various birds and beasts, humans, and monsters all celebrated in their own way.

However, they do have one thing in common, that is, they all worship the local mountain god, bezoar. Therefore, you can see that bezoar statues are everywhere in Xuanjing Mountain, and many incense that were born from them have followed the veins and become part of his cultivation.

Unlike Li Qi, Niuhuang and the others cared a lot about New Year's Day and so on. They had already visited during the day and brought gifts, which were all specialties from the mountains. Although they were not expensive, they were thoughtful.

Li Qi looked at Shen Shuibi, but Shen Shuibi looked outside the mountain.

"It's really lively, isn't it?" Tutu laughed.

"It's quite lively." Li Qi stretched out his hand and held the rabbit's left hand in his palm: "But if we go down, I'm afraid it won't be lively anymore, and they will definitely be scared."

If Li Qi appears below, I'm afraid they won't be able to have a good time this year. If they are trembling in their hearts, any festival will lose its flavor.

This is also the reason why the couple chose a two-person world. Going down alone would disturb their interest, just like the teacher coming to a class reunion.

"That's true, but if this child is born in the future, it should be much better." Shen Shuibi smiled, as if he could imagine how much vitality a child could bring to Xuanjing Mountain.

Li Qi didn't reply. The two just held hands and sat on the top of the mountain, looking at the lights below.

Below is the middle of the festival. Under the auspices of Bezoar, various lamps are lit up and shine brightly. After all, it is also a place where eighth-level practitioners are present. The scene cannot be shabby, but there are thousands of mountains, lights, water, and thousands of layers of flames, singing and dancing. The music and drums are playing, the drama is going on, the children are holding candies and jumping for joy, the teenagers are chasing each other, the middle-aged people are cooking, the old people are sitting quietly, each family is bringing out the dishes and competing for the richness.

Generally speaking, the products in the Wushen Mountain area can be said to be 'very rich'. Even if you pick fruits and eat them, you will not die of hunger. Just scatter any seeds and you will have a good harvest. With the strong source, naturally all living things can live a good life. inside.

People walk by the lights and moonlight, and when spring comes, there is singing and dancing everywhere, and there is a lot of joy.

"Get up and take a walk." Suddenly, Shen Shuibi said.

"Okay." Li Qi nodded, and the two of them got up and walked in the mountains together.

However, something beyond Li Qi's expectation was that the mountains were also covered with lights.

Five-color glazed glass, purple streets glowing, lanterns burning millet, candles singing, cinnamon paste orchid fire, golden branches dense flames, more elegant and pure, in an instant, the mountains and the sky respond to each other, like the stars pouring down, the bath is blazing.

It must be the work of Bezoar, right?

"I'm really grateful to him. I didn't even notice this before." Li Qi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Looking at the appearance of this mountain, I guess Bezoar arranged these things every year, but he never told Li Qi. As long as Li Qi went out for a walk like today, he would naturally see lights all over the mountain.

However, in the past few years, Li Qidu had never been to the mountains and had never seen these scenes. It was a waste of Niuhuang's efforts.

"That's right. I didn't notice it either, but he was interested." Rabbit also nodded. Seeing the bright lights, he couldn't help but feel that he was a little too cold and arrogant.

She gently held Li Qi's sleeve and said, "But, in that case, do you want to go down and join them?"

"Uh-" Li Qi didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Shuibi couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw his hesitation.

"No, it's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm a little sighing. Think about it, many years ago, Yu'er, you would never have made such a suggestion." Li Qi looked at Shen Shuibi in surprise: "Why would you take the initiative now? Going down the mountain?"

Yes, what surprised Li Qi was not that he went down the mountain to spend time with other people, but that it was Shen Shuibi who made the suggestion.

The once socially fearful Autistic Rabbit now actually wants to take the initiative to celebrate the New Year with others.

"Is there any problem? Well...if I have to say it, maybe it's because of this child." Shen Shuibi thought for a moment, tilted her head, and then smiled.

"Ever since this child was in my belly, I always feel that the way I see the world has changed. It's really amazing." She stroked her belly. Although the curvature had not changed and was still flat, the vitality bred in it was... Not fake.

"Really? Let me listen." Li Qifu lowered his body and put his ear to his belly.

In fact, I couldn't hear anything, but I could feel happy, as if the little life inside was smiling.

"Okay, okay, the more I listen, the more I go down. I'm really shameless." Rabbit seemed to be shy and quickly pushed Li Qi's head away.

Li Qi laughed loudly. Although he knew that he didn't have that much, he saw the rabbit hiding his shyness and throwing the pot on his head. Coupled with the lights in the surrounding mountains, it was the New Year again.

"However, now that we have said this, do you want to go down with me? Don't worry, I don't think they will be scared by you." Shen Shuibi said, actively inviting Li Qi to go down the mountain with him.

Li Qize looked her up and down: "Yu'er, you look like you have some conspiracy."

"But you will fall for it, right? After all, you love me very much." Rabbit said suddenly.

Li Qizheng was confused at this time. Shen Shuibi was a reserved person and would never do this normally. However, he came to his senses immediately and realized that there was probably a conspiracy involved.

However, he smiled.

Indeed, he will be tricked.

"Since you are going, you must not be empty-handed. Prepare some gifts for me." Li Qi said, using his magical power, one hand pointed to the sky and the other to the ground.

There was a need for food and drink, so Li Qi picked the flowing clouds from the sky and sprinkled the liquid on the sunset clouds, which was called "rosy sap", and eating it extended his life.

If he also wanted a lamp, he took a jade from a stone under the ground and called it "Ye Ming". He threw darkness into water and it floated without being extinguished, making it a bright lamp.

These should be enough as gifts, and... Li Qi was a little curious, what would be the behavior of the bezoar, and those mortals after he came down from the mountain?

With this in mind, Li Qi each picked a part, held it in his hand, and followed Shen Shuibi down the mountain.

Another year has passed, and the vanguard battle seems to be approaching, but for some reason, Li Qi doesn't feel nervous at all.

Time is like running water, the black rabbit moves the day, the universe is four-dimensional, and all things are warm in spring.

That's good, that's good. (End of chapter)
