The bells in front of Fengjiang City were waving a crisp sound.

Xiao Zhinan stopped.

She looked back at Li Mengzhou who had just left the city.

Although Xiao Zhinan has never deliberately expressed anything and Ye Sangyu's thoughts are not particularly delicate, she can also detect some problems about what she cares about. She cannot be sure whether Xiao Zhinan likes Li Mengzhou, but she can also see that there is some problem.

She silently clenched Li Mengzhou's hand and then let go.

Li Mengzhou was stunned for a moment.

Ye Sangyu took Miss Chuxue's little hand and walked aside.

The girl Chuxue was pulled back three times, obviously she didn't understand what was going on.

In fact, even Li Mengzhou didn't understand it very well.

But Ye Sangyu's meaning is very clear.

So he reached out and greeted Xiao Zhinan, saying, "I have been staying in Fengjiang City for too short, so I didn't have time to have a drink with you. When the war is over, we can have a good drink."

They are all good wine people.

Li Mengzhou also felt quite regretful if he didn't have the chance to have a good meal.

Xiao Zhinan was silent for a moment, took off the wine gourd from his waist and threw it to Li Mengzhou.

Li Mengzhou smiled and said, "That's a simple drink."

He took the wine gourd and raised his head and drank a large gulp, then threw it back to Xiao Zhinan.

Xiao Zhinan looked down at the wine gourd and said calmly: "Then let's have a good drink when the war is over."

She actually wanted to say something, and Ye Sangyu also gave them space, but it seemed that something was wrong. In the end, she said nothing, nodded to Li Mengzhou, and turned around to follow the team.

Ye Sangyu has been paying attention. Although this ending made her breath a little relieved, she couldn't help but want to complain about Li Mengzhou's performance.

But the voice of Miss Chuxue interrupted her desire to complain, "I'll go to Nanyu with you."

Li Mengzhou had no objection, so he took a look at Fengjiang City at the end, looked at the Queen standing at the top of the city, and said softly: "Let's go."

......

The summer of the 29th year of Changping, Jiang Guo.

The war has been fought for a year and a half since the beginning.

A lot of things have also happened in the past year and a half.

There are countless people who die.

Because monks outside the mountain appeared in the world in the wilderness, the war appeared.

Until early autumn of the 29th year, Chu Canglan led the Western Jin army to the capital of Yan State as strong as a rock, and then trapped the entire Zhongqing City. The Yan army was completely defeated, and the monks in the Taoist Palace Temple fled everywhere, but because some monks outside the mountain were scattered into various countries, a new round of war continued.

Although the first group of monks outside the mountain who arrived directly at various battlefields were basically wiped out, Qin Chengyi also silently developed forces outside the mountain in the dark, and the potential threat became even more serious.

During this period, Luo Qingming in the Tianqi Wasteland became very calm, and during these few months, the host of the viewer never walked out of the abyss and ravines. Su Bieli, who was alone in the wasteland, gradually realized the seriousness of the matter.

Before the Demonic Period, Tianqi Wasteland was already the old nest of monks outside the mountain, and there may be deeper secrets hidden here.

Su Bieli stared at the deep ravines and jumped down resolutely.

......

Snow Mountains in Yan Country.

Outside the broken Chaowu City.

Prince Xueye, who was always paying attention to the outside world's movements, learned that Zhongqing City was besieged by the Western Jin army, and then he knew that Yan State was completely over. If Situ Chaoyuan walked out, Yan State would not be like this, but Situ Chaoyuan, who was a little obsessed with the understanding of "Silks of Silkworms", was no longer interested in the outside world.

Even the temple monks who were fighting outside asked for help to the snow-capped mountains could not get any response.

The entire Taoist temple monks have turned into a plate of loose sand.

And Xueye decided to do something because of this.

He assembled a group of temple monks who fled back to the snow-capped mountains.

Looking at the Chaowu City vaguely visible in the distance, a temple monk said, "Although the saint does not intend to pay attention to worldly affairs, it is safest for us to stay here. Why do you need to choose another way out?"

Xue Ye frowned and said, "The war in the world is getting more and more intense. As long as Chu Canglan breaks through Zhongqing City, do you think the Snow Mountain can be safe and sound? Now the saint is always comprehension of the "Silks of Silkworm Destruction". No one knows how much he has understood. Once an enemy appears in the Snow Mountain, we will die first."

He once thought about asking Situ Chaoyuan to teach him the "Silk of Silkworms" to him, but Situ Chaoyuan obviously had no meaning at that time, and Situ Chaoyuan was very unhappy to be disturbed when he understood it. Xue Ye also took a great risk, so Situ Chaoyuan taught him the first chapter of "Silkworms" to him.

That was already the limit he could do. It was impossible to get the second chapter from Situ Chaoyuan. He was not capable and would not dare to make a fuss with Situ Chaoyuan. Otherwise, he would only die faster. It would be meaningless to stay in the Snow Mountain. If he wanted to survive, he had to walk out of the Snow Mountain.

Xue Ye wanted to rely on Situ Chaoyuan, but the war in the world had developed to such a situation. Before Situ Chaoyuan understood the second chapter of "Silks of Silkworm Destruction", it was obvious that he could not have walked out of Chaowu City. Once an enemy attacked, Xue Ye would only be in front of him.

How could he put himself in this situation?

For those temple monks who escaped alive from the battlefield, if they cannot obtain life guarantees in the snowy mountains, they can only give up their faith in the Taoist palace. They are not disciples of those vassal states of the Taoist palace who have been completely brainwashed. Who cares about the so-called faith when their lives cannot be guaranteed?

They just want to survive.

......

In addition to the destruction of Kuchan Temple, the fall of towns within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the deaths and injuries, Nanyu is currently the only relatively stable place in the world, and the people in Zhaoping City are still living and working in peace.

There is a pure place in Zhaoping City.

There is a very tall Buddha statue standing.

That is the temple where Kuchan Temple is located in Zhaoping City.

In the dim light of the morning, the bell rang and monks could be seen walking around.

In a certain Zen room, Master Ran was sitting on a cushion, facing the golden Buddha statue, two lines of tears were clearly presented on his cheeks.

The black cat curled up next to the futon, fell asleep soundly, shaking its tail from time to time.

Daosheng stood at the door of the Zen room, staring at the monks coming and going.

The door of the Zen room diagonally opposite was opened. A young man in a black shirt and with a short hair walked out stretching and waved to Daosheng.

Daosheng politely said, "Mr. Seven."

The young man with very short hair was Li Mengzhou.

Since he came here, he would be awakened by the ringing of the bell, and he would squint his eyes in a drowsy manner. He would slimly say to Daosheng, and then he would start to move his body and force himself to cheer up.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, the ninth prince came over.

"Qin Chengyi secretly developed a lot of forces outside the mountain, and even Nan Yu was infiltrated. His Majesty sent troops to suppress him. Although there was no great result at present, fortunately, there were not many people outside the mountain that penetrated Nan Yu, and no major troubles were caused."

Li Mengzhou looked at him and said, "Master Wunian must have seen something in the chess game. The master sent the white chess piece to the master early. The master used the chess piece to cooperate with the book of heaven to temporarily block the will of the Demon Lord of the Wasteland in the wasteland. That was obviously a good step for the master. When you gave Wanglai Lake to the Demon Lord of the Wasteland, you must have your deep meaning, or you have seen the master's meaning."

The Ninth Prince said: "I am not as smart as you think. At least it is difficult for me to guess the teacher's intentions thoroughly for this matter. I can only follow the steps I roughly understand. The teacher is calculating the Demon Lord of the Wasteland, and the Demon Lord of the Wasteland is also calculating the teacher. The teacher's intentions may not be effective. Things beyond the chess game will happen at any time."

"Although I can't have any ideas about what happens in the future, I can also know your purpose. Maybe I can still help you."

Li Mengzhou frowned and said, "What you call help is to keep me eating, drinking, urinating and sleeping with a group of monks here?"

The ninth prince smiled and said, "Cultivation is life. Life lies in perception. Everything in the world has some things that can be realized. Although eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping is very common, you may not be able to understand anything. When you can really fall asleep peacefully, you will understand what you want to realize."

Li Mengzhou spread his hands and said, "I slept quite peacefully, but I was woken up early every day."

The ninth prince said, "That is what you think is safe. If you really sleep peacefully, then the mere bells will not wake you up."

Li Mengzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think of me as a pig? You sleep so hard?"

The ninth prince smiled and said, "Isn't it good to be a pig? Although it will be slaughtered to eat, it will live happily before it is slaughtered, eating, drinking, urinating, sleeping every day, and you don't have to worry about anything."

Li Mengzhou said unhappily: "What are the wrong reasons you are telling me?"

The Ninth Prince pointed to the silkworm group hanging upside down in front of the Buddha Hall and said, "What you are practicing is silkworm destruction. This magical power comes from the first practitioner in the world. Although Situ Chaoyuan said to be the ancestor of the Taoist sect, the first practitioner in the world does not belong to any faction at all, and he also belongs to all factions, because everything starts with him."

"A creature like silkworm will weave a thick cocoon in its life, which may not be what it wants, so it complains, annoys and anxious. It wants to break the cocoon, which is even more of a self-restraint. It tortures itself, experiences painful struggles, and even resists death, and finally breaks out of the cocoon, turns into a beautiful butterfly, and rebirth."

Li Mengzhou said: "What do you mean by telling me these?"

The Ninth Prince said: "The Silkworm Destroyer is actually the life experience of the first practitioner in the world. It is his thought that turns into supernatural powers. The perception of the third chapter is the essence and the most difficult one. You also have a kind of self-restraint. If you cannot break out of the cocoon, you will not be able to regain your life, and naturally you will not be able to understand the third chapter."

Li Mengzhou looked at the ninth prince silently.

"You mean to let me die before I can comprehend the third chapter and be reborn?"

The ninth prince smiled and said, "Your understanding is too one-sided. If you die, then you will really die. Where will the new life come from? You are complaining to me here. It is meaningless to be angry. You have to find a way to break the cocoon, just like that silkworm. If you just complain anxiously, it cannot break the cocoon and become a butterfly."

Although I felt that the Ninth Prince's words were very reasonable, Li Mengzhou couldn't figure out what the truth was, and frowned and said, "Have you read "Silks of Silkworms"? How can I know that doing this can open the third chapter?"

The ninth prince said: "Although I haven't read it, the teacher actually saw it when Li Daoling got the "Silk of Silkworms" that year, and the records of "Silkworms" in my Kuchan Temple are only more than those in the Dao Palace."

Li Mengzhou said in a deep voice: "Although Master Wunian's death has something to do with me, I still want to say, what was Master Wunian thinking about when the Bu Er Cave was destroyed?"

The ninth prince was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Seventh, don't worry about this problem. The teacher is gone, and that matter has long passed. I don't know what the teacher is thinking, but he did regret it."

Li Mengzhou didn't say anything more.

The Buer Cave has long been gone, and Master Wunian has also fallen. It is indeed meaningless to continue talking about these things.

He was thinking seriously about the Ninth Prince's words.

Things about silkworms are actually not a difficult question to understand.
