Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The Snow Yi people are an ancient tribe in the Manghuang Mountains. They live in the snow-capped peaks of the Lingxu Mountains. Their houses are all covered with ice and snow. They only have contact with the outside world in summer, because the snow in the entire Lingxu Mountain will block all roads in spring, autumn and winter.

The Snow Yi people are not numerous and have made snow their entire life for generations. They still preserve the oldest sacrifice - the Snow Sacrifice. They believe that snow is the whitest and most sacred gift from heaven to all living beings and the symbol of the purest and most auspicious things in the world. Therefore, they basically will not allow outsiders to step into their territory and destroy their sacred snow home.

Today, an uninvited guest came to the Xue Yi tribe - a woman dressed in light yellow gauze and jade silk, with a white veil on her face. She was none other than Huang Xiyi, the saint of the Qingwei Xuannv sect. She was stopped at the door of the Xue Yi tribe's residential area.

Huang Xiyi was slightly surprised when she saw the two men in mink coats who suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

"Who dares to trespass into the territory of the Xue Yi tribe?" a man shouted loudly.

"I'm a passerby who wants to look for a cave in the mountains." Huang Xiyi did not give her name, and she did not expect to meet anyone in the snowy mountain of Lingxu Mountain.

It turned out that after Huang Xiyi left Fuchen Temple on Lingxu Mountain, she sent all her fellow sisters and elders back and went up the mountain alone to look for the Soul-Devouring Cave mentioned by Zen Master Wuwang. When she saw that the road was blocked by heavy snow, she used her internal energy to fly upwards for more than thirty miles. There was indeed heavy snow all around, until she saw that there seemed to be a road here, she flew to the road outside the Xue Yi village and walked along the road to the entrance of the Xue Yi village. She was now a little tired.

"Looking for a cave? This is where our tribe lives. There are no caves. Please go back! Our tribe does not welcome outsiders to enter our territory." A middle-aged man ordered them to leave.

"Excuse me, uncles. Is there a cave called the Soul-Devouring Cave in Lingxu Mountain?" Huang Xiyi asked humbly.

The two middle-aged men looked at each other and shook their heads: "Never heard of it!"

"Can I borrow the road and go up the mountain to search by myself?" Huang Xiyi asked. Because she couldn't fly all the way to the top of the mountain. First, her power was not enough, and second, the temperature around her was getting lower and lower. Once her true energy was insufficient, she would be easily buried in the snow in this mountain.

"No, our tribe does not allow outsiders to enter!"

"Girl, are you looking for Xuya Cave?" An old man dressed in white came to the entrance of the village. His beard, hair, eyebrows and clothes were all white, only his skin looked a little dark.

"Chief!" Two people at the entrance of the village called out respectfully.

"Xuya Cave?" Huang Xiyi muttered softly.

"Senior, what I'm looking for is the Soul-Devouring Cave, not the Ruin Cliff Cave." Huang Xiyi called him "senior" very respectfully, because she could sense that he was also a cultivator, and his realm was higher than hers.

"There is no place called Soul-Devouring Cave in Lingxu Mountain. I only remember that there is a cliff on the southern foot of Lingxu Mountain with a hole in the cliff, which we call the Soul-Devouring Cave. This is the north side of Lingxu Mountain. There is no cave on the mountain. Girl, you might as well go to the south of the mountain to look for it!" said the patriarch politely.

"The Soul-Devouring Cave is in the south of the mountain?" Huang Xiyi thought to herself.

"May I ask, Senior, can I cross Lingxu Mountain and reach Xuya Cave?"

The clan leader shook his head and said, "You need to go back down the mountain and go around to the east of Lingxu Mountain. There is a road that leads directly to the top of Lingxu Mountain. Turn south when you are close to the top and you may be able to find it. There is a deep abyss to the south of Lingxu Mountain and there is no road."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior," Huang Xiyi turned and walked down. Since the Xue Yi people did not welcome her, there was no need for her to force her way up the mountain.

After walking for a long way and turning the corner where they could no longer see the village entrance, Huang Xiyi used her internal energy to fly directly up the mountain, trying to cross the Snow Yi tribe's territory and fly to the top of the mountain.

Huang Xiyi thought, "Ordinary people can't get to the top of the mountain, but those who practice cultivation should be able to fly over!"

In the snow Yi ski resort, looking at Huang Xiyi in mid-air, the tribe leader shook his head and said: "This child really doesn't listen to advice!"

Huang Xiyi flew up about three hundred meters and could see nothing but snow. The temperature was dropping rapidly. She felt a little dizzy, so she stopped and tried to recover, but it was too late.

With a cry of "Ah", her body fell straight down. Her eyes turned white and she felt dizzy. When Huang Xiyi's body was about 20 meters from the ground, a white light flew out from the territory of the Snow Yi tribe and caught Huang Xiyi's body. She followed the air mass back to the road at the entrance of the Snow Yi village.

Huang Xiyi held her forehead, feeling dizzy, and stood on the ground.

“You want to cross the top of Lingxu Mountain just when you are in the fairyland? You are overestimating your abilities!” The clan leader stood at the entrance of the village without anyone noticing.

"How can the mystery of nature be solved by cultivating immortals? Girl, in addition to cultivating your mind and skills, you must always maintain awe of the natural world! You can rest at the entrance of the village tonight, and go down the mountain the same way tomorrow!"

After that, two people walked out of the village. They were the two uncles who stopped Huang Xiyi at the entrance of the village during the day. They dug a snow house for Huang Xiyi at the entrance of the village and placed some simple daily necessities in it. Huang Xiyi rested there for one night.

Huang Xiyi woke up the next day and her dizziness symptoms had improved a lot. She thought about what happened yesterday. The fall yesterday was not just a change in the environment, but more like she was touched by something. She couldn't tell what it was because when she was dizzy, her true energy was also dispersed.

It was impossible to cross the mountain, so after thanking the patriarch for saving his life, he returned along the same route.

Lingxu Mountain, the former site of Fuchen Temple, on a grassland near the mountain in the eastern area, when the sunlight spread over the green land, the bonfire had already turned into a pile of ashes.

The first person to wake up this time was Monk Mingzhi. When he woke up and saw himself lying on the ground, he couldn't help but say to himself:

"Didn't I meditate in a trance last night? How did I fall asleep on the ground? Amitabha, Buddha, I know I was wrong. I will definitely keep my mind in a trance from now on!"

Then Monk Mingzhi woke up the three people lying on the ground.

Ah Mei yawned and said, "Stinky monk, can't you see that I'm having a sweet dream?"

Shen Yichen thought to himself: "How can I see a dream?"

"I dreamed that my elder brother was raping women, and I was waving my flag and shouting, but you woke me up! You stinky monk, you deserve to be beaten!"

Shen Yichen didn't expect that eating the melon would bite him.

"Senior Sima, I'm sorry for drinking so much of your wine again. Next time, I will definitely treat you to a drink!"

Looking at the dozen or so pots of wine on the ground, Shen Yichen stood up and said to Sima Lifeng who had just woken up.

"Brother, I think my dream will come true. You will definitely meet a beautiful woman on the road today!" A'mei looked at Shen Yichen seriously and said.

"Where are you going? I'm leaving!"

Sima Lifeng stood up and said, obviously to Shen Yichen, that he cared more about A'mei.

"Why do you care what we do? Drunkard, stay away. My elder brother and I are discussing whether to rape or not."

A-mei said domineeringly.

"Senior, where are you going?" Shen Yichen ignored A'mei's nonsense.

"Go buy some wine!" Sima Lifeng said and prepared to leave.

"Senior!" Shen Yichen called out to Sima Lifeng.

"Anything else?" Sima Lifeng turned around and glanced at Shen Yichen.

"Well, junior has a request of yours," Shen Yichen seemed a little embarrassed.

"Ok?"

"If there's nothing else in your storage bag, could you give it to me?"

Shen Yichen wanted it last night when he was drinking, but unfortunately he drank too much and forgot to say it.

"Big brother, you are going to rob me first!"

A-mei is really omnipresent.

"for you!"

Sima Lifeng threw it to him casually.

"How do I use this?" Shen Yichen asked in confusion.

"You can use your true qi to drive it directly. The space of each storage bag is different. Remember to control your true qi and the size."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Lifengren had already left.

Shen Yichen played with the storage bag happily, and after learning how to control it, he burst into laughter.

"Big brother, it's just a storage bag. Why are you so happy? There are so many of them in the streets of big cities!"

"What do you know? I can drink anytime from now on!" Shen Yichen said as he swallowed his saliva.

"Big brother, you are one of my generation!"
