Crossing the Sword

Ye Shisan spent the entire night asking all the questions he should ask. He also told Ju Mang about his basic ideas about sword cultivation, and Ju Mang answered them one by one without holding back.

Ye Shisan certainly benefited a lot from the question and answer between the two, and Ju Mang also found a lot of sources of inspiration in Ye Shisan's novel ideas. He even shared his own inspirations with Ye Shisan, and the more they talked, the more they got along, and they didn't even notice that the Ding sisters woke up.

It was not until dawn that Ju Mang left reluctantly.

Before leaving, he gave Ye Shisan a golden seed and said, "I have been traveling around, and now it is time for me to leave. This seed is a magic weapon I made myself, named Earth Mang. Don't underestimate it, I have been using this before I realized the way of my true self and became a god king. It can transform into all the plants in the world and can be controlled freely. For example, you can build as many houses as you want in the future."

Ye Shisan took it with both hands respectfully and said modestly: "Even so, Shisan asked himself that he would never be able to build a house that conforms to the Way of Heaven. This is not a matter of strength. Maybe I will be able to do it after I have a deeper understanding of the Way of Heaven."

"Haha." Ju Mang knew that Ye Shisan was speaking from the heart, so he nodded and said, "I'm leaving, take care of yourselves. Tianya, especially you, you must work hard, I have confidence in you." His body instantly merged into a blade of grass under his feet and disappeared.

After Ju Mang left, Ye Shisan and Xiao Bai were silent. In their hearts, they were full of admiration for this approachable god. Especially Ye Shisan, his admiration for Ju Mang was even higher than that for Yan Di. It was not because of his high cultivation level, nor because of the benefits he received from Ju Mang. Instead, he admired Ju Mang's character. He believed that a true god should be like this!

It was a long time after Ju Mang disappeared that Xiao Bai finally spoke in a daze, "Lord Wood God actually said to me 'take care'!"

Ye Shisan also regained his composure and scolded with a smile: "Don't be a fangirl, just look at Ding Xiang and the others."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bai got furious after hearing this: "Don't make random comments. This is not being crazy about flowers. This is respect. Do you understand respect?"

Ye Shisan immediately surrendered and said, "I understand. It's just respect." After saying that, he waved his hand to remove the water shield. Ding Xiang and Ding Feng, who had already woken up, came out. The latter asked curiously, "Who was that person just now? Judging from your appearance, is he very powerful?"

Xiao Bai pretended to be mysterious and asked, "Have you heard of the five great gods?"

Xiao Feng raised his neck and said, "Do you think I'm so ignorant? Of course I know the Five Heavenly Gods. Wait, are you telling me that this man is related to the Five Heavenly Gods? Whose descendant is he?"

Ye Shisan interrupted and said, "He is not anyone's descendant, but the Wood God Ju Mang himself. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go and decorate our new home. The furniture and other things are still stored in my pot." Then he took Dingxiang and Xiaobai and walked towards the cabin.

Behind him, Xiao Feng's cheering voice came: "Yeah, I actually saw the Wood God Ju Mang himself!"

After being instructed by the wood god Ju Mang, Ye Shisan gave up his plan to go to Gonggong Terrace of the Sanmiao Kingdom immediately and decided to stay here for a while to integrate what he learned from Ju Mang before leaving.

The days that followed returned to peace again. After Xiao Feng knew that Ye Shisan was the descendant of Gonggong, the god of water, he respected him even more. He used to complain about the heavy training. But now he is like a different person. No matter what training Ye Shisan ordered, he would complete it on time with quality and quantity. His progress is of course obvious. In three months, he learned the first five moves of Ye Shisan's Tianya Leg Technique. Now he just lacks the skill.

Xiaobai learned a lot from the discussion between Ye Shisan and Ju Mang. All day long, except for eating and sleeping, he was busy practicing, hoping to restore the temple to its original state as soon as possible.

Ye Shisan felt that learning the qin was very beneficial to his spiritual cultivation. He studied hard and his qin skills improved greatly. Of course, in comparison, the improvement of his cultivation was even more obvious. Although he had been practicing in the Yan Emperor's palace, or even in the Shennong Ding, where the spiritual energy was so abundant, it was natural that he improved quickly. However, there was also a drawback, which was that his understanding of martial arts was not enough, which obviously held him back.

But now it was completely different. Through communication with Ju Mang, he had perfected the martial arts training method before the catastrophe. The two were combined into one, complementing each other, and his cultivation naturally improved by leaps and bounds. He also mastered the art of flying swords, becoming the first person in history who could fly with a sword.

On this day, he finally made another breakthrough in his cultivation and reached the late Golden Core realm. He decided to say goodbye to the three people and leave.

In the past few months, living together has become a habit for them. Of course, they are reluctant to let Ye Shisan go. But knowing that Zhang Tianya is busy, it is not easy to keep him. Dingxiang took out the ancient zither that they had been using, and gave it to Ye Shisan, saying, "Master Ye not only saved Dingxiang's life, but also treated us and Xiaofeng like brothers. Dingxiang knows that great kindness should not be thanked. I only hope that Master Ye can accept this zither, so that Dingxiang can always be by your side."

Hearing this, Ye Shisan was stunned. Should he accept Ding Xiang's bold confession? He didn't want to refuse, nor could he bear to refuse. But could he really accept this feeling? What if he could really borrow the Kunlun Mirror? Take her to the modern era as well? Would she be happy in that era that didn't belong to her at all?

But after repeated consideration, he decided to accept the zither. If Dingxiang accepted it, she might not be happy in the future, but if she didn't accept it, she would definitely be sad now. Caressing the zither that contained Dingxiang's infinite love, Ye Shisan said, "When you see this zither in the future, you can think of Dingxiang. Alas, it's a pity that I don't belong to this world. I will leave sooner or later..." He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he couldn't say anything.

"Brother Ye, can you please excuse me for a moment?" Xiao Feng pulled Ye Shisan, who didn't know what to say, and walked more than ten meters away. He stopped only after making sure that the two of them couldn't hear their conversation. After stealing a glance at Ding Xiang and the others, he whispered, "Brother Ye, I have something I want to ask you. Actually..."

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Ye Shisan waved his hand to throw a soundproof water shield, and then said, "They must not be able to hear you now. You can speak now. Why are you so hesitant? This is not like you normally."

Xiao Feng blushed, and couldn't help but steal a glance at Xiao Bai before saying, "Actually, I feel like I kind of like Sister Xiao Bai, but I don't know if this is right. Brother Ye, teach me, what should I do?"

Ye Shisan patted his head and said, "Silly boy, if you like him, you should show it, otherwise who will know your feelings? There is no right or wrong in love, love is love, don't think too much about the consequences. Don't be afraid of failure, don't care about gains and losses, express your feelings bravely. Young people have the right to make mistakes, you should grasp it well, don't live up to your young life, so that your youth will not be in vain, understand?"
