Daoist Ling Yin stood on the mountain peak and looked down from afar. He couldn't help but remember Ling Xu's performance before, and he believed that little Shi and Ling Xu would definitely find their way up the mountain.

At this moment, Ling Xu and Little Shi were preparing food at the foot of the mountain.

They heard that an old man from within the village said, "A few days ago, there was a flood in the mountain. It washed away many parts of the road, and then submerged a lot of the farmland beneath the mountain."

They had prepared a lot of rations to send up the mountain today.

Ling Xu wondered how his masters were doing on the mountain, and even more so, he didn't know if they had already climbed to the top of that cliff.

At this moment, Xiao Shi'er said, "There are a lot of rations today. Let's send them up the mountain together!"

Ling Xu happily said, "Let's go now."

They picked up the rations. He walked up the mountain.

②

They walked five miles in a single breath, following the path of repair, until they came to a place where they passed through every time they went up the mountain.

He found that this part of the road had already been flooded, and had been swept away to form an empty space of gravel and mud.

Where was the mountain path leading to? He raised his head and looked in the direction of the mountains.

Finally, with his memory, he found his way up the mountain.

He left another mark on the road so he could find his way back.

They probed the whole way, moving forward carefully. Looking at the traces of the flood, Ling Xu's heart was still constantly thinking about the safety of his Master and the villagers.

The two of them hurried up the mountain without stopping, not daring to waste even a second.

He could only hope that the rations would be delivered into everyone's hands as soon as possible.

Then they crossed a ridge and came to a valley. On the ground in the middle of the valley, grass as tall as a man was being washed away by the flood.

The only thing left was the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. It was a bit of a mystery.

This was what they had discovered. The only small stone bridge leading up to the mountain had been broken by the flood.

On both sides of the bridge, the flood had left a deep crater about three meters deep.

Standing on the broken bridge, looking at the other side of the mountain, Ling Xu and the others. There was no good way to get there.

③

They stopped to think, and looked again at the approaching afternoon.

Ling Xu and Xiao Shi'er were extremely anxious as they looked at the surrounding mountains.

Suddenly, he noticed that not far from him, a youth around his own age was walking over from the dense forest.

He leisurely walked between the valleys with the two oxen behind him. There was a large golden bell tied around each cow's neck. The sound of footsteps. A clear echo resounded in the mountain.

He also heard that young man occasionally singing a song loudly in the valley.

"Jade Spring Water's Void Spirit Clear, it caused the deities to fall for it."

Ling Xu and Xiao Shi'er heard the song coming from afar and felt that it was very familiar.

This was because he had heard the masters of the Jade Spring Dao Academy speak of this song.

Ling Xu thought about it for a moment. It must be a child from a village nearby who was herding a cow here!

Suddenly, he thought about it again, but something didn't seem right.

This place was quite far away from the foot of the mountain, and it was also far away from the mountain. There were no villages nearby, so why were there children herding cattle?

Ling Xu thought dubiously, using his eyes to look around.

There was still no sign of the village, only a dense forest.

At this moment, the ox boy came towards them.

He was dressed in a coarse, earthen grey cloth with a belt around his waist, and he held a brush in his hand.

He walked over with a smile.

He asked, "Do these two young benefactors want to climb the mountain from here?"

When Ling Xu and Xiao Shi'er heard the two words "little benefactor", they looked at the child in front of them in surprise. He wasn't tall, but his bones were thin and small.

Her tiny face was covered with wrinkles, and her hair was jet-black. Her eyes were big and clear, but she seemed to be in a trance.

There was a very practiced look in his eyes, like the voice of an old playboy.

It was hard to fathom.

Thus, he called himself a young benefactor.

Ling Xu then replied with a polite smile:

"I am Ling Xu. Greetings, master. May I ask what is the meaning of this?" Because the two of us came up here.

"Unexpectedly, the flood cut off the mountain road and stopped here, so that you can give me a few pointers."

Only to see the old playboy listening to the Taoist's words. He then looked at the two of them again.

He said, "Aiya, I didn't know that you two young Daoists are so polite. Since fate has brought us together today, this old man shall lend a helping hand to both of you! "

(5)

He paused.

He pointed at the distant bridge that had been broken by the flood.

"Take a look at what's over there, you two?"

After a moment, he turned to Ling Xu and Little Shi'er and said:

"There are two paths to climb this mountain. "The two of you need to think carefully."

First, he could take a detour and open up a different path.

Second, you can use Yellow Ox to transport the stone to build the bridge.

After pondering over it, the two of you can tell this old man how you came to a decision.

When Ling Xu and Xiao Shi'er heard this, they tilted their heads and pondered.

At this moment, he heard Little Shi'er say this in a hurry.

Master: "I choose the second choice, to use Yellow Ox to transport stones to build a bridge. The bridge will definitely be rebuilt, and will also be accessible. "

The old playboy looked at Little Shi'er and smiled without saying a word.

He then looked at Ling Xu …

and asked, "What do you say? "But tell me the reason."

Ling Xu cupped his fists together and bowed his head in thanks.

He said, "There is no choice between these two."

For what reason? The old urchin asked.

Ling Xu seriously said:

"First, take a detour, then create a different path, then you will miss your job."

Secondly, they could not involve others to help them. The Daoists should be kind-hearted.

Therefore, neither of them could be chosen.

The old urchin continued to ask, "Then don't you want to go up the mountain?"

Ling Xu replied, "One must think of other ways to climb the mountain."

The old urchin nodded in satisfaction. He then started to laugh out loud.

He took out his whip and swung it in the air, and the sound of the whip was heard. It spun around like lightning in the valley.

As for the two oxen, they shook their bells and walked towards the old urchin, stopping beside him.

The old urchin walked over and stroked the cow's head.

He said tenderly, "Your senior brothers have accompanied me in the mountain for hundreds of years already. Today, we have met some destined people who have helped you to achieve perfection! It can reconstruct a person's true form, and join the ranks of the Immortals. "

As he spoke, he removed the bell from the cow's neck. Throw it into the valley that was broken by the flood.

At that moment, the two oxen started to grow taller and taller.

Standing in front of the old urchin, Ling Xu and Shi'er were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated.

The old urchin immediately lashed out with his whip, creating a loud sound. The two gigantic oxen. He walked towards the valley and arrived at the Broken Bridge. He immediately turned into a ray of golden light and flew into the valley. Clang *

In the blink of an eye, the broken bridge could be connected, forming a brand-new bridge.

On the arch of the bridge were two strange bull heads, each with a bell hanging from its beak, jingling in the breeze.

Ling Xu and Xiao Shi'er quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to express their gratitude. The old playboy was leading two figures. He flew up into the sky …
