Chapter 010: Ning Yi's Path (Part One)

Ning Yi glanced at Xu Cang but did not respond

Zhou You observed the young man nodding earnestly, with his left hand resting on his right hand, seemingly calculating something silently, as his right hand extended two fingers.

The man carrying the fine snow said calmly: "Do you want the whole world to know that I sat here while you left Xiling? Fine, I have arrived at my destination, and I will stew you to make pigeon soup to share with the enemies of those sacred mountains. Perhaps we can even laugh and resolve our grudges."

Zhou You turned around and looked with great interest at the people behind him

Surviving here is not merely about helping Xu Cang escape from those who are pursuing him

including helping him eliminate the residual injuries in his body, allowing him to escape the predicament of being burned by starlight

The enormous bird, which transformed from a white dove into a red sparrow, experienced a wave of writhing within its abdomen, ultimately enduring an extreme sense of suffocation without uttering a single sound

Ning Yi looked down somewhat dizzily; beneath him lay a layer of clouds in the pitch darkness, with ethereal wisps of cloud drifting. The mountains of the Western Ridge intertwined and overlapped, appearing as minute black dots stretching endlessly, indistinct and unclear.

After a brief silence.

Xu Cang wrapped up "Light Snow" and casually remarked, "Zhou You, this kid didn't agree, but you should be congratulated."

Zhou You is not someone who seeks trouble for himself

The crisp sound of chirping birds rises above the clouds, echoing and gradually fading away

Zhou You furrowed his brows

Zhou You was earnestly waiting for the young man's response

The moonlight descends, brushing against the face, and as it continues to fall, landing upon the clouds above, it feels as if one has plunged into the sea

He has never seen such a large moon

Ning Yi pressed her lips together, feeling the slightly damp warmth in the palm of her hand

The bone flute on Ning Yi's person surpasses the delicate snow of Xu Cang in terms of quality and rank

However, I have a fear of heights

The white dove perched on the shoulder rolled its eyes, cooing as it flapped its wings, soaring past the books. After several breaths, it swelled against the wind, scattering red light, its entire body a vivid crimson. With enormous fiery red wings like a fan, its copper bell-like eyes glared fiercely, fixated on Xu Cang

You may descend the mountain, but the Daoist sect has many enemies, so your range of activities is quite limited. Before you have grown, the Sanqing Pavilion will provide you with much protection, absolute protection... At certain times, this also means relative shackles

Now he has developed a sense of cherishing talent, so before sending Xu Cang away from Xiling, his concern is whether Ning Yi is willing to join the Dao Sect. Regardless of the final outcome, whether he stays or leaves, after sending him off, he will not invest any more effort.

Zhou You fell silent

"She is a girl of considerable talent," Zhou You said softly as he looked at Xu Cang. "She is a descendant of the Pei family, bearing the token of Mount Luojia. Is this the reason you wish to send her back to the Great Sui?"

Some people take a long time to understand this principle

Xu Zang sat cross-legged on the back of the bird and smiled, saying: "Trust me... he did not choose to stay, it is your fortune."

Zhou You paused for a moment; he did not expect that the issue the young man was concerned about was this

The first step is to extract the mortal heart that is locked within the body, and through one's own will, establish a unique relationship with the stars in the sky

"Do you want to argue with me?" Xu Cang said with a smile, "You must have wanted to for ten years, right? Just think about it, you're still far from reaching that level."

Even cultivators who have attained a certain level of mastery often feel a sense of trepidation at such heights... Most will experience fear, for if they were to fall, they would be shattered into pieces

You are about to die, and I really want to cultivate Ning Yi. Zhou You spoke earnestly: He is somewhat like you, decisive, resolute, and knows how to let go

Xu Cang www.hetushu.com is my friend... Zhou You shook his head and said: "If he were as easy to protect as the girl from the Pei family, I would have already protected him. He chose this path for himself, and Mount Shu has given him respect, so I should also give him respect"

Ning Yi took a breath and said: "Upon joining the Dao Sect... I have only three requests."

Ning Yi wanted to say something more, but Xu Cang interrupted him, speaking in a lazy tone: "As for my life and death, you need not worry about it, Ning."

Because your Daoist sect cannot afford to support him

Xu Cang did not speak, merely shaking his head, implying that this matter was not as simple as Zhou You had thought

You leisurely escorted me out of the Western Ridge, and when the time comes, will it be a matter of killing or burying? Xu Cang threw out that bell and said irritably, "Call that pigeon out; the specific reasons can be discussed in detail on the way"

What made Zhou You find it even more interesting was the girl in Ning Yi's arms

So... this is the closest she has been to this piece of starry sky above her head.

"It won't be long, probably just a matter of one or two years." Zhou You said in a calm voice, patting its head, and with a serious expression promised, "Once you are able to speak human language, I will take you to Mount Shu to see Xu Cang's tomb."

The so-called first step is actually ... ... breathing

Before him lay endless flowing clouds, with the fierce wind howling. Ning Yi instinctively wrapped one arm around the girl, holding her tightly, while the sound of the tearing sky wind echoed in his ears

Zhou You, with a smile on his face, stood at the forefront, his white hair fluttering, turning back to look at Xu Cang with a mocking expression

The warm and gentle little hand tightly clenched its own palm, the center of the palm soaked with sweat. At this moment, Pei finally let out a long sigh of relief.

This alone is worth traveling around to personally persuade.

Xu Cang, who had finally caught his breath after a difficult struggle with the *picture* book, still gritted his teeth and dared not look at the scene beneath him

It was the birth of Zhou You that transformed zero into one, adding "almost" before "not".

Xu Cang reined in his smile, looking earnestly at Ning Yi

The red light converged, and after everyone had taken their seats on the back of the bird, this enormous red sparrow slowly flapped its heavy wings. The red sparrow, having extinguished its fiery glow, resembled a giant arrow piercing through the night, cloaked in the moonlight. The clouds shattered on either side of its wings, as the moonlight and starlight flowed and mingled.

The red sparrow can only shift its mournful gaze towards its master, Zhou You.

The red sparrow did not rush to swoop down at first, but instead ascended, its massive body almost vertical to the ground, resembling a firework shooting up into the sky. Ning Yi felt that no matter how tightly he grasped the feathers of the red sparrow, it was of no use; he could not help but feel himself plummeting downwards.

Ning Yi is different

If I were to join the Daoist sect... I said if. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does that mean I would have to live in the Purple Cloud Palace of the Daoist sect, refining alchemy and practicing every day, or studying Daoist methods, reading books, and tuning the zither, with no other place to go?"

Zhou You furrowed his brows

Zhou You is indifferent and too lazy to care

As for the latter, there is almost none throughout the entire continent

Ning Yiping calmly said: "I do not understand cultivation, but I can see that he is about to die, and everyone wants to kill him. I know that those sacred mountains are formidable, but you are Zhou You, and you just scared away those from the sacred mountains. You also told me that those whom the Dao Sect wishes to preserve, even the Emperor of the Great Sui must show some respect to them"

This friend of mine is not afraid of anything

Xu Cang is also an oddity

Xu Cang appeared to be somewhat astonished

Xu Cang rolled his eyes in exasperation, rendered speechless

And the book Ning Yi struggled to lift his head up

He raised his right hand very seriously, with two fingers together, and at that moment, a third finger also emerged.

From the ground, no one can see this large bird clearly anymore

He opened one eye and saw Xu Cang sitting beside him with a pale complexion. The giant red sparrow, after its transformation, was extraordinarily large, with enough space on its back to comfortably accommodate more than ten people. Xu Cang gripped the feathers of the red sparrow with both hands, gritting his teeth and saying: "You just wait... one day I will turn you into pigeon soup."

Ning Yihua held Pei Fan in his arms, the wind blowing so fiercely that he could hardly open his eyes

However, it is merely quite good... It is not yet good enough to allow him to personally travel and bring the troubles back to the sect.

Pei's expression was grave, holding his breath, not making a sound from beginning to end

This is her first time leaving the ground; she has never been taken by a sword immortal riding a flying sword, nor has she ever ridden on the back of a strange bird or beast.

Above Pei Fan's head, strands of starlight began to swirl and coalesce

Three, I want to Xu Cang to live

Exhale the impure air, inhale the starlight

Zhou You shook his head and said, "What a pity, it seems that you are fated to have no connection with my Dao Sect... I will accompany you for a while, and before you leave Xiling, you may still change your mind"

Zhou You furrowed his brows

I want Xu Cang to survive. Can the Dao Sect achieve this

As for where Pei Fan has taken refuge and his innate talent

Zhou You is an oddity

The path of cultivation is akin to walking a tightrope high above the ground, often requiring one to hold their breath, allowing for not the slightest error. The practitioner walks with trepidation, their heart suspended in anxiety. If one cannot tread as if on solid ground, it becomes difficult to glimpse the true Great Way

In his view, being able to condense starlight with one's own breath is quite a remarkable talent

In Zhou You's view, www.hetushu.com, Ning Yi is an interesting fellow; he does not seem to be particularly afraid of falling from a great height

A round, bright white moon hangs halfway in the sea of clouds, appearing as if it is贴在 one's face.

Wherever the girl goes, I will go. No matter what... I want to be with the girl

Ning Yi was only entangled for that one breath, perhaps even less, just half a breath

He saw the shadow of a familiar person in Ning Yi.

The Sanqing Bell is returned to you; you are a leisurely immortal of the Daoist sect, while I am a desperate fugitive fighting for my life. The major sacred mountains are waiting to kill me; do you think they are joking? If I delay, I will truly die

The Daoist sect needs to undertake many tasks

The fact that two individuals can become friends and are willing to be friends indicates that these two peculiar beings, to some extent, recognize and affirm each other.

As Ning Yi was in a state of indecision, his brow slightly furrowed, and on his relatively handsome face, there was not much indication of hesitation.

If Xu Cang had not fallen into a predicament... then Zhou You, in order to break through the situation, would need to rely on various external forces, among which the best candidate would be Xu Cang

I enjoy reading books, but I do not like constraints

The former, too numerous to count, are ubiquitous, such as those mortals who will never embark on the path of cultivation.

Before coming to rescue Xu Cang, he cared for nothing but his own path

Ning Yi gazed at Zhou You and slowly said, "Xu Cang saved my life, and I want him to live on."

Zhou You watched with great interest as Pei Fan凝结星辉 in this scene

Soaring to great heights, the cardinal halted its swift flight, hovering in the air and emitting a cheerful chirp

From the moment some are born, beginning with their first breath of air in this world, they have already embarked on the path of cultivation

How does a practitioner cultivate themselves? It is by communicating with heaven and earth, thereby elevating their true self
