When Xiaobai could swing the knife ten thousand times in two hours, Tianshan ushered in the first heavy rain in early summer.

The river outside the woods suddenly surged and thunder roared.

Li Ye stood at the door of the wooden shed, staring at the rushing river below the cliff. He looked at Xiaobai and said, "Do you want to go to the river with me to practice sword skills? By the way, I can help you temper your body."

Xiaobai jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, pointed out of the shed and said, "You are crazy, don't pull me in! Ask Grandpa Ape if he is going? If he goes, I will go."

"You are a master in the Nascent Soul Realm, how can you be afraid of a mere flash flood? I will teach you how to do it, and nothing will happen to you."

Li Ye looked at him and said seriously.

"No, I said I won't do anything except practice swordsmanship." Xiaobai jumped away and stared at him, as if guarding against a thief.

"Then do you want to go down the mountain with me, into the city, and to the Central and Western Regions together?" Li Ye asked unwillingly, staring at him.

"You almost lost your life in a flash flood last year, and I won't go even if you kill me!" Xiaobai said viciously. He has not forgotten the scene last year.

The old ape sitting in the room drinking tea shook his head, looked at Xiao Bai and Li Ye, and thought, how could anyone teach people to practice like this?

Looking at the two of them, he said slowly: "You can't teach him like this. I'll help you when the rain stops tomorrow."

After saying that, he gave Li Ye a wink, which meant don't look at me in a hurry.

Li Ye didn't say anything. He leaned against the door and glanced at the torrent outside Yaping. He slowly walked back to the room and sat down at the table with his hands behind his back.

He turned around and looked at Xiao Bai and said, "Even if Senior Old Wolf is here, he can't control what I asked you to practice."

Xiaobai shook his head desperately, turned around, jumped off the bamboo chair, and sat next to the old ape. He thought to himself that even if I am afraid of you, the old ape is not afraid of you.

Scratching his head and looking at Li Ye, he said unwillingly: "I want to live a few more years."

When the old ape heard this, he made a "puff" sound and sprayed the tea he had not swallowed in his mouth on the ground next to Xiao Bai, almost hitting Xiao Bai's face.

"You little thing, you're afraid of death before you even start practicing. If you're afraid of death, why would you turn into a human form?"

The old ape picked up Xiaobai's ears and cursed.

With a little effort, Xiao Bai broke free from the old ape's hand, jumped to a chair on the side and sat down, staring at the two of them.

Li Ye's mood became more relaxed after hearing the old ape's reply. He poured boiling water into the purple clay pot, thinking that he had indeed been practicing desperately for the past year.

The old ape looked at Xiaobai and sighed, thinking that since you have transformed into a human being, there is no reason why you should not endure hardship.

Li Ye looked at Xiao Bai opposite and said, "How can there be no practice without hardship? Fortunately, Senior Lao Yuan and I are here, wouldn't it mean that your life was wasted?"

Xiaobai didn't nod, but cried and said, "I get scared whenever I think about what you looked like last year."

"I was only at the first level of the Golden Core last year, and you are now at the first level of the Nascent Soul. You are so scared!" Li Ye scolded Xiaobai while adding tea to the old ape.

"Should you have cultivated your spiritual consciousness in the Nascent Soul Realm? With your spiritual consciousness, there will be no danger in mountain torrents. Don't open your eyes when you stand in the river. Just release your spiritual consciousness to sense the distance a few feet in front of your body. If there is danger, then

Use the black knife in your hand to split it!"

Li Ye scolded him while teaching him.

The old ape glanced at Xiaobai, picked up the tea cup in front of him and said, "If the old wolf were here, he would probably throw you into the river directly. How could he tell you so many truths."

Xiaobai felt that his cheeks were slightly hot, so he touched them subconsciously and said in a low voice: "But I'm still scared!"

When Li Ye heard this, he shook his head and did not continue to scold him.

The old ape looked at Xiao Bai's expression and sighed: "You are also a divine creature from the starry sky. No matter how bad you are, you are much better than the children here. No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a person who is afraid of death. "

When Xiaobai heard this, he shuddered and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

For Xiaobai, life is a very stress-free thing, whether he is in Tianshan or following Li Ye to Fengyun City in the future.

For him, he didn't know why he was practicing. He only knew that by following Li Ye, he would have food and would not be in danger. These were the most important things to him at the moment.

"I've never seen a shapeshifting elf with no courage like you. You've totally disgraced us." The old ape said angrily.

Xiaobai grinned and said: "I just don't have the courage. Just don't look at me and drink tea!"

The old ape was so angry that he almost slapped him.

Li Ye looked at him funny, pointed to the misty cedar forest under the cliff and said: "Xiaobai, senior Lao Yuan and I are here. You can try it yourself tomorrow. If you really can't stand it, let's roar, and senior will naturally carry it." you come back."

"Is that okay?" Xiaobai looked at the old ape timidly and asked.

The old ape didn't even think about it and replied: "Why not? I told Li Ye the same thing last year."

Xiaobai said angrily: "Last year...it seems that my brother didn't call you, but you brought him out by yourself."

Hearing this, Li Ye was stunned and turned to look at the old ape, blankly recalling the scene last year.

...

"Nonsense, if I hadn't brought him out, he would have froze to death in the ice pool. Why are you howling if I don't let you enter the ice pool now?" The old ape stretched out his hand and gently knocked on Xiao Bai's head.

Li Ye said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, as long as you have enough confidence, use your spiritual consciousness to sense danger, and use the knife in your hand to eliminate the danger in front of you. If you survive the first time, it will be easier next time. "

The old ape also nodded, looked at him and smiled.

Looking at the two of them, knowing that there was no way to escape, Xiaobai asked after a long silence: "You two must ensure that I am not in danger!"

Li Ye glanced at Old Ape, thought for a moment and then said: "You stand by my side when we go down to the river tomorrow. Senior Old Ape and I will ensure that you are not in danger."

The old ape looked at him and nodded, continuing to drink the tea from the cup.

Xiaobai nodded slightly.

Li Ye patted Xiao Bai on the shoulder and said: "Don't think wildly. You will face more dangers when you become a human being. If you don't dare to suffer, just stay on Tianshan Mountain and endure it." A thousand years."

Xiaobai's eyes widened, indicating that it was impossible.

Li Ye ignored him and continued: "Wait until you are as old as you, Grandpa Ape and Grandpa Wolf, until the Nine Tribulations come. Then go to the top of the mountain to survive the tribulations and return to the world where you were originally born."

Hearing this, Xiaobai shook his head and said it was impossible.

The old ape smiled and said nothing.

Li Ye did not continue speaking, but looked at him quietly and smiled.

Xiaobai sighed helplessly, patted his butt and stood up. He looked at Lao Yuan and Li Ye and said, "I can't defeat you, so I have to risk my life and give it a try tomorrow."

After saying that, he rushed out of the wooden shed and ran into the cave in the blink of an eye.

The old ape pointed at the door with a smile and said: "How could such a good little thing turn into such a lazy thing!"

"He is too young. Senior Old Wolf has been protecting him all the way. Without a dangerous life, there is naturally no motivation to fight. I can only guide him slowly in the future." Li Ye sighed softly.

"Actually, I can ignore him. After all, he has reached such a high level and will make breakthroughs in the future. As long as he doesn't mess with others, there is no danger in the world."

Li Ye looked outside the door and sighed softly.

The old ape looked at him and said: "But he will leave you one day. Since he has entered the human realm, he must learn to practice. Even if there is danger ahead, he has to face it."

"Am I too harsh on him?" Li Ye said seriously.

"It's just about practicing body tempering in a mountain torrent. It's so harsh. What's the point of hard work?" The old ape smiled.

Li Ye smiled self-deprecatingly and stared at the heavy rain outside the shed. He said for a while: "This weather is suitable for drinking a glass of wine. I wonder if Senior Old Wolf will come down today. There is still a pickled hare that Xiaobai caught yesterday."

eat."

"What if he doesn't come?"

"Wait until dusk, if he doesn't come I'll have a drink with you."

"Will you drink with me?"

"I'll drink with you and then call Xiaobai."

...

The heavy rain that had been falling all day and night finally broke out in the early morning. A light rain and mist shrouded the cliffs and had not yet dispersed. Lao Yuan, Li Ye, and Xiao Bai were already standing on the edge of the surging mountain torrent.

Li Ye took off his clothes and shoes, stood on the shore and breathed quietly for a while, calmed down, let go of his consciousness, and walked step by step towards the mountain torrent with the Ruoshui Sword.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaobai. Remember to let go of your consciousness when you come down, sense the flash flood ahead, and use your knife when you encounter danger!" Li Ye shouted loudly.

A rolling torrent came towards him, mixed with rocks and branches, and the cold river water hit Li Ye's thin body.

The Ruoshui Sword in his hand kept swinging out with the feeling of Taoist consciousness, and rocks and branches rose into the sky, and he slashed them out of the water of the torrent.

Xiao Bai tremblingly took off his clothes and shoes, carrying his black knife. Before he could react, the old ape threw him into the flash flood three feet away from Li Ye with a wave of his hand.

Just a howl was heard, and a huge noise came from the river.

"Xiao Bai, release your spiritual consciousness quickly and sense the danger in front of you!" Li Ye waved his hand and blocked a branch from the mountain torrent for him.

"I can't do it, I'm going to die!" The little white monster shouted, soared into the sky, and jumped onto the shore.

Li Ye was stunned for a moment when a branch rushing down from the front scraped the man's right arm, knocking him down a few steps.

He shouted violently, quickly stopped his attention, and tried his best to sense the danger ahead. He yelled: "You little bastard, if you don't practice well, do you still want to kill me?"

The old ape on the shore waved his hand and caught Xiao Bai who jumped onto the shore. With another wave, he dropped him not far away from Li Ye.

Angrily, Dantian roared. "Little one, feel the danger in the flash flood and don't involve your brother."

I saw Xiaobai using his hands and feet, waving his hands randomly, and within a moment he let out a strange scream, soared into the sky, and jumped onto the shore.

The old ape reached out and grabbed Xiao Bai, shook him hard, and threw him beside Li Ye.
