Xiang Donglai was taken aback, the drunkenness in his eyes suddenly dissipated as he looked at the wine jar in his hand.
At this time, wisps of black Qi were coming out of the jar that had been sealed.
Yang Xuan's eyes were cold.
The wisps of Soul Force emitted from the wine jar made Yang Xuan involuntarily think of the Holy Mountain.
An unexpected gain, he did not expect to encounter wine that contained Soul Force here. It seemed that Supreme Harmony City's Master Li had an inexplicable relationship with the Holy Mountain.
Xiang Donglai observed the wine jar and even leaned over to smell it.
As experienced and knowledgeable as he was, he had already discovered that there was something wrong with this wine and naturally would not drink it.
"The smell of a dead person," Xiang Donglai said.
Yang Xuan nodded and did not speak.
Xiang Donglai put down the wine jar, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Let's go and see who this Master Li is."
Yang Xuan had the same intention and nodded.
Xiang Donglai took the lead and walked out, not forgetting to put the jar of wine into his Storage Ring before leaving, leaving Yang Xuan speechless.
Coming out of the wine cellar, the two identified the direction of the main courtyard and directly rushed over.
After looking around and not finding anyone, Yang Xuan simply disguised himself as a thief and caught a servant to ask.
After asking, he learned that Master Li was not in the Li Residence at all. He had left three days ago and no one knew where he went.
Yang Xuan had finally obtained a clue about the Holy Mountain and did not want to alert the enemy, so he pulled Xiang Donglai out.
Returning to the inn, Xiang Donglai first took out a jar of wine and drank it, then suddenly said, "Do you have a grudge with the Holy Mountain?"
Yang Xuan looked at him and asked, "How do you know?"
"That jar of wine obviously has something to do with the Holy Mountain, but the cold light that flashed in your eyes couldn't hide it from me," Xiang Donglai said.
Yang Xuan did not deny it, "Yes, I have a deep grudge with the Holy Mountain."
"Then be careful." Dong Lai sighed and continued, "The Sacred Mountain is too mysterious and powerful. It seems that they are everywhere. Even I don't dare to offend them. It's hard to say what will happen if you start a feud with them."
Yang Xuan didn't want to explain too much, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, they won't be able to find me for a while."
Xiang Donglai nodded and changed the topic with a smile. "Tomorrow, accompany me to kill some people."
Yang Xuan was puzzled. "Murder? Who did you kill? "
Dong Lai put down the wine jug and said, "About three hundred meters away from here, there's a large lake. There's a force in the lake called the Hall of Seven Sins. There are seven bandits there. Tomorrow, come with me to slaughter them."
Yang Xuan was even more curious. "Did these seven unlucky bastards offend you?"
Eastward shook his head. "No, but they have wreaked havoc in a radius of hundreds of miles. Who knows how many people have died because of them. They should have been killed long ago."
Yang Xuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What's the cultivation of these seven people?"
"The highest is One-Line Sky. I think he's called Hei Lang or something. The others are probably just Xiantian." Dong Lai said indifferently.
Well, you're a peak Dao-Reaching Realm master, and you want to kill a few Xiantian One-Line Sky masters?
Are you sure it's not because his nickname offends you?
Yang Xuan was speechless.
Dong Lai seemed to have guessed Yang Xuan's thoughts and shook his head. "They specifically target mortals. Their crimes are unforgivable. Killing them is just justice for the heavens."
Yang Xuan was in awe.
"Of course, this guy dares to use Wolf as his nickname. If he doesn't die, who will?" Dong Lai said with a smile.
Yang Xuan almost couldn't breathe.
If this guy called Sirius knew that it was because of his nickname that he attracted the attention of a peak Dao-Reaching Realm master, would he cry and beg to change his name?
"I have a question." Yang Xuan stared at Dong Lai.
"What question?" Dong Lai asked.
"Don't masters need to calm down before a battle? They even need to take a bath and change clothes to adjust their mental state to the best possible state? Why are you running around like this …? "
"Ha, you're talking about Gu Shentu, right? This guy's actions are exactly as you said. He's very particular about these things. I think he's probably burning an incense stick right now to adjust his mental state. "Dong Lai laughed.
Then, he looked at Yang Xuan and said, "Little Yang, do you know what I used to reach Dao-Reaching Realm?"
Yang Xuan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Dong Lai's eyes flashed with nostalgia. "I'm an orphan. When I was young, it was my master who picked me up. He was an ordinary Martial Master who opened a small dojo to pass the time. He once told me that the simplest is the most complicated. So, he made me practice the simplest moves repeatedly, day after day, year after year."
He said with a smile on his face, as if he was reminiscing about the days when he was young.
Yang Xuan sighed in his heart. Even small people have their own principles.
The simplest is also the most complicated.
Wasn't this sentence the truth of heaven and earth?
"Of course, later I found out that he didn't know any other moves at all. I was fooled by him." Dong Lai shook his head.
Yang Xuan almost choked to death.
Can you not be like this? You'll die if you take a deep breath like this.
Dong Lai ignored Yang Xuan and sighed. "But it's too late. I was fooled by him."
Yang Xuan was stunned. Fooled? What do you mean?
Dong Lai looked at Yang Xuan and smiled. "So in the end, I reached Dao-Reaching Realm as a mortal. Do you understand?"
Yang Xuan understood. Dong Lai's Dao was the Dao of mortals. Birth, old age, illness, and death were the most ordinary and the most natural.
Therefore, he didn't need to concentrate at all, take a bath and burn incense. He just needed to be himself.
At this moment, Yang Xuan was in awe of Dong Lai.
All the masters in history had the support of huge resources and various secret manuals before they could finally glimpse the Great Dao. However, Dong Lai was the only one who reached Dao-Reaching Realm as a mortal. With a mortal body, he went on a heaven-defying journey.
Yang Xuan suddenly had an idea. If Dong Lai was placed in the world of cultivators, he would probably be the heaven-defying protagonist.
Dong Lai looked at Yang Xuan, smiled, and suddenly said, "Do you understand?"
Yang Xuan nodded.
Unexpectedly, Dong Lai shook his head and said, "No, you don't understand."
Yang Xuan looked at him strangely.
"What is mortal? What is extraordinary? " Dong Lai seemed to be talking to Yang Xuan, but also to himself. "My master is a mortal, but I think he's extraordinary. To be able to reach the extraordinary Great Dao with a mortal body, that's extraordinary."
Yang Xuan fell into deep thought as he looked towards the east.
"Just like the pear seller who sells pears. That's ordinary, but he can put the garbage basket on the side. That's extraordinary."
"To do extraordinary things with a mortal body, that's Dao."
Dong Lai's voice seemed to ring in the dark like thunder.
He looked straight at Yang Xuan with eyes like torches.
"I've seen a constable catch a thief. Although he was stabbed several times, he didn't retreat. He died and the thief was beheaded. That's extraordinary. That's Dao."
"I've seen a righteous man put out a fire. Although he was on fire, he didn't return. That's extraordinary. That's Dao."
"I've seen a teacher step forward bravely and die to protect his student. That's extraordinary. That's Dao."
"I've seen a soldier who faced an enemy a hundred times stronger than him. Although he was afraid, he didn't retreat. That's extraordinary. That's Dao."
That's extraordinary. That's Dao.
Boom!
Yang Xuan was dumbstruck by the sudden clap of thunder.
