The door creaked open, and an old man in a gray robe with a long beard on his chin poked his body out of the door.
He first glanced at Xiang Donglai, then shifted his gaze to Yang Xuan.
"Little Xiang, why did you bring someone here?" He looked at Yang Xuan and asked.
"This is my brother," Xiang Donglai said with a smile.
"Then come in, but there's no wine." After the old man finished speaking, he turned and walked into the courtyard.
"Look at you, when have I ever drunk your wine?" Xiang Donglai said as he pulled Yang Xuan into the courtyard.
Yang Xuan's spiritual sense kept scanning the old man, but even when he saw the old man with his eyes, his spiritual sense still could not detect him.
Some stones were scattered in the courtyard, and some were built into stone tablets with some writing on them. It was obvious that the old man was a stonemason.
When Xiang Donglai saw Yang Xuan looking around, he smiled and said, "Don't look. This old man is a stonemason who specializes in carving tombstones for people. He doesn't know anything else."
There was a stone table in the courtyard, and a few large stones were casually placed next to it as stools.
After Xiang Donglai pulled Yang Xuan to sit down, the old man with the surname Liu came out of the room. He held three broken bowls in one hand and a kettle in the other.
After pouring water for Xiang Donglai and Yang Xuan, he asked, "What are you here for this time?"
Xiang Donglai picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of water indifferently, then said, "Can't I come if I have nothing to do?"
The old man sneered, "Celestial Wolf Xiang Donglai is a busy man, and you still have time to come to my broken place?"
Xiang Donglai smiled and said casually, "My reputation is nothing in front of you."
The old man did not seem to hear him and shifted his gaze to Yang Xuan again, sizing him up.
The smile on Xiang Donglai's face disappeared. After drinking another mouthful of water, he slowly said, "I'm not sure."
The words came out of nowhere, but the old man obviously understood.
He chuckled again and said, "Making arrangements for your funeral?"
Xiang Donglai glared at him. "Can't you say something nice?"
"If you want to listen to something nice, go to the brothel. The girls there can talk better than singing."
Xiang Donglai sighed. "If I don't come back, give him all the things I put here."
He pointed at Yang Xuan.
A trace of surprise flashed through the old man's eyes. He even looked at Yang Xuan with some surprise. After a while, he asked, "He's your disciple?"
"I already said that he's my brother," Xiang Donglai said angrily.
"Then why are you so good to him?" the old man asked curiously.
"Don't worry about it. Just remember to give it to him in the future." Xiang Donglai didn't want to explain anything.
"As long as you're happy!" The old man sighed.
In the following days, Xiang Donglai and Yang Xuan stayed in the small town. Every day, Xiang Donglai took Yang Xuan to the east and west. They ate steamed buns in one place in the morning and noodles in another place in the afternoon. It was very carefree and happy.
After a few days like this, Xiang Donglai said to Yang Xuan, "Okay, it's time to go."
Yang Xuan didn't say anything. He followed Xiang Donglai and left the small town.
After leaving the small town, Xiang Donglai stopped and looked in the direction of the small town. "That's my home. At the same time, it's also my path."
"Except for you, no one knows!" Xiang Donglai continued.
Yang Xuan asked, "Why?"
Xiang Donglai laughed. "I have no children. I'm all alone. It's fate that you can meet me at this time."
"You want to take me as your disciple? And pass on your mantle? "Yang Xuan asked.
During this period of time, he clearly felt that Xiang Donglai had the intention to make arrangements for his funeral. He even did not hesitate to use himself to pass on his path to Yang Xuan.
"Forget about it. It's not that pretentious. However, you're right about the second point. What I've learned can't be severed. I hope to pass it on," Xiang Donglai said.
"What's your path?" Yang Xuan was silent for a moment before suddenly asking.
"Ordinary! The most ordinary is the most extraordinary. " Xiang Donglai's words were resolute and filled with unquestionable power. However, he shook his head and said, "Don't dream of repeating my path. That's impossible."
Yang Xuan looked at him and waited for him to continue.
Xiang Donglai looked into the distance. It was the direction of the small town.
"You should go find your own path. I'm just telling you the process of my path," Xiang Donglai said.
Yang Xuan thought quietly.
Seeing Yang Xuan's silence, Xiang Donglai suddenly smiled and asked, "You've been living in the small town for a few days. Did you notice anything different?"
"Are there only old people in the small town?" Yang Xuan had long noticed this. There was not a single young person in the small town.
Xiang Donglai nodded. "Do you remember what I told you the other day? In fact, these old people are all lonely old people who have no one to support them. I brought them all to this small town so that they can die a good death. "
Yang Xuan's eyes showed a trace of admiration.
The fact that a peak Dao-Reaching expert could do such a good deed was truly commendable.
At this moment, Yang Xuan somewhat understood Xiang Donglai's path.
"As for that old man Liu …" Xiang Donglai's eyes showed a smile. "Don't underestimate him. He may look like an old man carving tombstones now, but back in the day, he was all-powerful and killed people like flies."
"And then?" Yang Xuan was very interested in the old man.
"And then? Then he was seriously injured by an enemy and lost most of his cultivation. Now he's just a stonemason. "Xiang Donglai said.
He saw the curiosity in Yang Xuan's eyes and added, "I'll tell you something, but don't tell anyone. This old man was a famous person on the Earth Roll."
"Earth Roll?" Yang Xuan heard this name for the first time.
"Above the Mortal Roll is the Earth Roll." Xiang Donglai explained.
"Is there a Heaven Roll?" Yang Xuan asked.
Xiang Donglai nodded. "Yes, but the Heaven Roll is not a level we can come into contact with. It's useless to mention it."
Yang Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "This Earth Roll …?"
Xiang Donglai knew what Yang Xuan wanted to ask and said directly, "After a martial artist reaches the Nine Heavens of the Human Dao Realm, he must find his own Dao to step into the Dao-Reaching Realm. However, the Dao-Reaching Realm is not the end, it's just the beginning. The peak of the Dao-Reaching Realm is just one step away from the Divine Path. "
"Divine Path?" Yang Xuan's eyes revealed a strange look.
Xiang Donglai nodded with a trace of yearning in his eyes. "It's only one step from the peak of the Dao-Reaching Realm to the Divine Path, but it's like heaven and earth."
"The Divine Path is hard to find!" Xiang Donglai sighed and stopped talking.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed and said, "Why are you talking about this? It's too vague. By the way, you're going to fight for opportunities in the Martial God's Ruins, right? "
Yang Xuan was slightly taken aback, before nodding his head.
Although he said he was going to the Martial God's Ruins to investigate the origin of the black bead, it could barely be considered as fighting for opportunities.
Seeing Yang Xuan nod, Xiang Donglai smiled and said, "The Martial God's Ruins are too mysterious. There's no telling what's inside, but it'll definitely attract a lot of forces to intervene. If you want to do anything inside, it'll be like pulling chestnuts out of the fire. It'll be very difficult."
Yang Xuan chuckled and said, "How can the path of cultivation be simple? What's not difficult? "
Xiang Donglai nodded and said, "It's rare for you to have such insight. Now that the decisive battle is imminent, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave first. On the seventh day of the ninth month, you can come to the Full Moon Mountain to take a look. Maybe it'll be beneficial to your martial cultivation. Moreover, if I die, you can help me collect my corpse. By the way, when the time comes, secretly transport the corpse back to the town and bury it on the mountain behind the town. The scenery there is pretty good. "
"Okay, goodbye!" Xiang Donglai let out a long laugh, flew into the air, and left quickly.
Yang Xuan looked in the direction Xiang Donglai left. After a moment of silence, Yang Xuan also left. His direction was the Li family of Taihe City.
He wanted to see what the relationship between Master Li, who was called Black Wolf, and the Sacred Mountain.
