Dust roots [comprehension]

Yes, he stopped and finished speaking, Song Huaichen was still staring at him.The corner of the man's mouth curled into a thin arc, he leaned forward, switched the two boxes of black and white chess pieces, suddenly raised his hand to hook Lu Tingyun's chin, and dragged the opposite head forward.

"Come and not reciprocate." Looking at the composure on the handsome face of the other party, Song Huaichen smiled even wider, but lowered his voice, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I'm not a villain, you'd better think carefully. Whoever makes it eats it."

Lu Tingyun leaned back abruptly, and fell on his back with a "boom".

Song Huaichen laughed loudly.

Lu Tingyun pretended nothing happened, patted his clothes and stood up, and walked towards the two children who were attracted by Song Huaichen's laughter: "Bai Jian, show me the practice once, Ah Wan needs to concentrate."

Song Huaichen packed up the chessboard and walked over: "Don't listen to him, Ah Wan, it's almost time to go home. What would you like to have for dinner, Jane?"

Ah Wan, who didn't like sitting cross-legged at all, jumped up happily, while Bai Jian didn't make any demands, and danced the sword seriously.

The time of entry is short and he has not entered the Tao. Although he does not use spiritual power, Bai Jian's sword is much softer than Lu Tingyun's, and the opening and closing of moves are much rougher.

Song Huaichen was used to seeing masters, knew that Bai Jian was not good, but didn't know how to give advice, the moves the young man practiced now were too basic, and Song Huaichen couldn't see the shadow of the sword formula he gave Lu Tingyun from it.

At this time, the only thing that can come in handy is the sword cultivator who has practiced step by step.Lu Tingyun was never ambiguous in matters of business. After watching Bai Jian's set of sword skills, he mentioned the essentials of the movements again, and corrected Bai Jian's worst movement so far. Then he waved his hand to signal that everyone can go home for dinner.

Bai Jian was still waving the branch to practice the movement that was corrected. Lu Tingyun slapped him on the head: "Okay, think about it when you meditate at night, be careful that you won't be able to lift your arms tomorrow."

In the medicine hall, Grandma Sun has already washed and cut the vegetables and meat, just waiting for Song Huaichen to cook them in the pot.Lu Tingyun, even the two children are not picky about food, Song Huaichen's cooking skills are good, but they will not force him to cook.The picky one is Huang Yaoshi, he only eats what Song Huaichen burnt, and because both of them are from ten continents overseas, their relationship is closer than others, so it makes people feel at ease.

Song Huaichen, who enjoyed it, did not refuse, and invited Grandma Sun, who came to help, to the table together.

At the dinner table, there is no rule of not talking when eating, and several adults lead the children to talk about what they have seen and heard during the day, which is very lively.

But Huang Yaoshi felt that Lu Tingyun was exceptionally silent: "What's wrong with him?" He secretly asked Song Huaichen, "I didn't say anything today."

Song Huaichen shrugged: "Probably because I was scared."

"……What?"

Chapter 23

When the villagers were falling asleep one after another, Lu Tingyun invited Song Huaichen to go up the mountain to practice swords as usual, and the latter followed him out as before.

The chirping of Xia Chong made the mountain road no longer lonely, and Lu Tingyun suddenly asked: "So that's your answer?"

"The answer can be continuously improved," Song Huaichen lifted his foot over the fence, "It depends on whether you dare to accept the trick."

"It's always me who is making moves, and you are hiding."

The long sword was unsheathed, the silver light was like electricity, the leaves rustled, and the sound of insects stopped suddenly.

The unbelievably fast sword light stabbed straight at Song Huaichen, with a tricky angle, straight to the heart.

Song Huaichen flew up to the sky like a startled bird on a tree.

The fatal blow missed, and a thin hole was left on the thick tree trunk, Lu Tingyun made another sword strike.

The spiritual power in his sword caused the air to turbulent, and the birds that had no time to escape in the future froze their wings and fluttered down.

Borrowing strength from the tree trunk, Song Huaichen, who was rushing towards the slanting thorn, was so fast that he pulled out a high-speed vibrating scream in the air.

Lu Tingyun's second sword chased after him zigzagging, Song Huaichen turned in the air inconceivably, paused, and pulled out a cyan aura visible to the naked eye from his hand, heading straight towards Lu Tingyun.

Song Huaichen personally told Lu Tingyun that those few pages of Zhanchen Jue are a way to escape, they can be retreated or defended, but it is difficult to attack, so Lu Tingyun knows that Song Huaichen's attack this time may still be a feint.

Song Huaichen's movements were stretched and seemed to be almost gentle, but Lu Tingyun did not dare to underestimate the enemy. Song Huaichen's movements and spiritual power contained mysterious power, not the usual convincing with force, but the moistening and silent connection with the surrounding environment.

Every time Song Huaichen made a move, Lu Tingyun felt as if the whole forest was echoing him, and this feeling became more and more vivid day by day.

Bai Yijianxiu thought about Song Huaichen's vegetable field, the extra-rich spiritual power around the vegetable field, and those vegetables that had changed from ordinary vegetables to spiritual plants...

Raise your hand and drop your sword.

Hold the sword with one hand, place it directly in front of the body, and cut down.

This is the most standard action to deal with the attack from Song Huaichen's direction.

It was also the most awkward movement that Lu Tingyun felt.

If the sword placed directly in front of the body wants to walk straight, it is best to hold the sword with both hands.But the strength of the two-handed sword chopping is different, the opposite is Song Huaichen, there is no need.

The sluggish movements were forced to become proficient after many times of practice, Lu Tingyun's sword strikes unexpectedly felt smooth, and the sword went unexpectedly straight.

With a ding sound, the aura of the sword tip collided, the blade was shaken, and the aura shattered. Song Huaichen's mysterious meaning dissipated immediately, and the man retreated, waiting for Lu Tingyun's next move.

Waiting left and right can't wait.

"Lu Tingyun?"

Thoughtful, Bai Yi Jianxiu slashed down with his sword again, the path of the sword was slightly crooked, not as good as before, but much better than at the beginning.He slashed four or five times in succession, and the sword path was steady.Immediately, he put the sword behind his back, turned his wrist, drew a circular arc, and made a backhand sword in the sword technique written by Song Huaichen. The originally jerky move is now quite familiar after practice.

Lu Tingyun recalled that he kept chasing and hitting Song Huaichen, so that Song Huaichen never left his sight, so that when the man counterattacked, he could only come from a few directions.

As for the counterattack in those directions, most of the time, he would use the two moves that Lu Tingyun was least proficient in.

The man reacted belatedly: "Are you feeding me?"

"It's too late to react now." Song Huaichen put his hands on his sleeves and smiled quietly, "I made a move a long time ago."

The corner of Lu Tingyun's mouth raised a smile: "So your answer was written down early in the morning, but I was too slow to notice it?"

Song Huaichen broke a branch and pointed to Lu Tingyun: "I promised to teach you swordsmanship."

"As for the others..." He smiled, swung the branch, and slashed at Lu Tingyun in a flexible arc, "Think about it yourself."

When the hidden tricks were discovered, Song Huaichen immediately changed his strategy, focusing on customers.

It was still a light and inattentive feint attack, but the speed and angle had changed too much. Those seemingly soft movements left bursts of buzzing in the air, and the undissipated power on the tail cut off the leaves of the trees!

The man held the branch and poked it, as if using the sky and the earth as a curtain, and painted with his brush, his movements were limited to a square inch, but his momentum went straight to the sky.

The branches were infused with spiritual power, and the ends trembled slightly. It split the air, and the air trembled.

The tremor was transmitted to Lu Tingyun's sword, and the sound of the sword buzzed.

The tremor was transmitted to Lu Tingyun's hand, and the sword energy suddenly surged!

From Lu Tingyun's point of view, the meaning of the slow fight before was mainly to kill time, and the second was to practice swords. Now that he has seen through Song Huaichen's good intentions, and was suddenly attacked by a sudden storm, the white-clothed swordsman became excited and was trapped in the mountain village. The anxiety and depression that retreated to practice Qi were appeased at this moment, and a half-inch long sword glow spewed out from the blade.

The tip of the branch touched Lu Tingyun's wrist, bringing a cold touch: "Control your spiritual power!"

It is impossible for a monk in the qi training period to forge sword light. Lu Tingyun used the move of a golden core monk in his excitement. It is fatal to him who has not yet eradicated the poison of Gu and has not even achieved foundation establishment.

Song Huaichen tapped the branch, and the spiritual power immediately pierced into Lu Tingyun's veins to seal his spiritual power, but it was still too late.

The spiritual power that Song Huaichen cut into Lu Ting's Yunmai gate was like a gate, and the spiritual power on both sides of the gate boiled at the same time.

The Gu worm woke up and went crazy.

It was a pain that was more terrifying than any poisonous hair, because it was so painful that Lu Tingyun couldn't even feel the pain, and after a buzzing sound in his head, it instantly became blank.

Song Huaichen supported Lu Tingyun's fallen body, and directly pressed his fingers on his veins. The man could feel the movement of Gu insects under his skin, jumping up and down, rushing here and there.

"Lu Tingyun?"

Song Huaichen pierced his spiritual power into the opponent's body, attracting the Gu worms to follow him all the way - his spiritual power was much stronger than Lu Tingyun's.

Gu worms are black in color, and the belly is bulging and swollen, revealing a golden light.Song Huaichen mobilized his spiritual power, pierced the belly of one of them, and black venom flowed out from it, and——

Fragments of Lu Tingyun's golden core.

These Gu worms were able to survive so far under Huang Yaoshi's treatment by relying on the golden core fragments in their abdomen.But Huang Yaoshi failed to discover the secrets in the stomachs of these Gu insects - he never penetrated his own spiritual power into Lu Tingyun's body.

Song Huaichen drew his spiritual power into a long thread and swam towards Lu Tingyun's body, the Gu worms were attracted and strung together on the thread of spiritual power.

The Gu worms gnawed at Song Huaichen's spiritual power, not Lu Tingyun's flesh and blood. The latter regained his composure, and the first thing he saw was a drop of sweat from Song Huaichen's forehead flowing over his brow bone to his eyelids. The action bounced out.

The drop of sweat was illuminated by the moonlight leaking from the leaves, so crystal clear that it seemed to be bewitched.

"If you don't want to die, just think of a way."

Song Huaichen's voice rang in his ears, and Lu Tingyun realized that the body of the man supporting him was stiff, and he dared not move.At the same time, Lu Tingyun also felt the swelling pain in his meridians. Although the Gu worms that devoured Song Huaichen's spiritual power no longer moved around, they were growing rapidly, and his narrow and thin meridians would soon be unable to hold them.

The pain from inside the body was severe, Lu Tingyun still couldn't stand on his own, and his speech was intermittent, he told Song Huaichen that he couldn't help it.

"What happened?!"

Huang Yaoshi was summoned by Song Huaichen, and shouted to two people on the other side of the fence.

The death barrier cuts off the spiritual power at both ends, and there are so many shadows that no one can see the other.

Song Huaichen briefly described the current situation. He temporarily controlled the Gu worm in Lu Tingyun's body, but fell into an embarrassing situation where he couldn't get off the tiger.

The appetite of Gu worms is like a bottomless pit. Song Huaichen, who maintains the filaments of spiritual power, consumes a lot, and a strong sense of suffocation envelops him. Only by stiffening his body can he maintain the standing movement and support Lu Tingyun, who is worse than himself.After explaining the situation to Huang Yaoshi, he couldn't say a word.

The short and rapid breath shuttled back and forth between the nose and throat, and could not be inhaled into the lungs at all. The eyes were blackened in bursts, the vision narrowed, and the edge was an ominous red.

Huang Yaoshi jumped anxiously at the other end of the barrier, telling him to give him some time to think about it.

The stable thread of spiritual power began to tremble, and Lu Tingyun noticed Song Huaichen's strangeness: "Brother Song, forget it...let's resign ourselves to fate."

The laissez-faire tone made Song Huaichen sober for a moment. In the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, the dying beast let out a weak but angry roar.

"Shut up." Song Huaichen has experienced three worlds, counting the first one where the sky was full of smog and the ground was full of cars, there are four.Every world is not good, and it makes people feel disheartened. Song Huaichen has reflected on himself and blamed others, but he has never thought of dying in the past.

I control my own life.

The trembling, weak body in his arms was warm and alive, as long as there was a chance, Song Huaichen would not let it become cold in front of him.

The venom of the Gu worm pierced by Song Huaichen merged into Lu Tingyun's blood, and the golden fragments floating from its abdomen settled into the lower dantian, returning to its original position.

That fragment turned into tiny golden liquid droplets in the lower dantian, exuding majestic and rich spiritual power, spinning crazily in the dantian!

The movement of the Gu worms to kill Song Huaichen's spiritual power stopped at the same time, Song Huaichen couldn't catch up, the filaments suddenly exploded, piercing through countless Gu worms!

The golden shards in the worm's belly were filled with abundant spiritual power, and they were all sucked into the aura vortex of the lower dantian. For a moment, the transparent vortex turned into brilliant gold!

The remaining Gu worms rushed over, like moths to a flame.

The golden vortex can't strangle the Gu worms, and the Gu worms bathe in it, growing bigger at an even more terrifying speed!

Lu Tingyun's hand on Song Huaichen's arm suddenly tightened, and the scream was tightly sealed behind his jaw, and what escaped was only an indiscernible moan.

Song Huaichen moved the finger on Lu Tingyun's wrist to under his navel, not caring whether it would hurt Lu Tingyun, and directly penetrated the spiritual power, rampaging in the golden vortex, strangling the living Gu insects.

The fragments flew out, the vortex turned faster and faster, the Gu worms were driven into dust, and the thicker gold was mixed with black to become dark and cold, like some kind of unknown weapon.

The vortex of spiritual liquid had indeed become hardened, and Song Huaichen's spiritual power could no longer penetrate it easily. The clump of liquid became tighter and tighter, and patterns appeared faintly on the outermost circle.

There was rumbling thunder in the sky, and the night suddenly turned into a sunset red.

Song Huaichen knew what was going to happen, so he violently pushed Lu Tingyun away!

Chapter 24

There was a long roar of thunder, a bright color flashed across the red clouds, and a wind suddenly blew up in the woods, and the wind swirled around the clouds in the Luting Pavilion.

The man on the verge of falling was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, holding a sword in both hands, maintaining a standing posture, his eyes were crazy and bright!

The sword cultivator's robe cut a sharp arc in the strong wind, Lu Tingyun let out a long shout, in the strong wind, everything was distorted, I don't know if it was his voice or the voice falling from the sky, speaking a clear sentence.

Those who want to cultivate the Dao, there is no other way to reason, nothing more than air.

Song Huaichen staggered back among the flying dead branches and leaves, and didn't stop until his back leaned against the fence.

The wind was so strong that even the air was thin, and he couldn't breathe more and more.

The leaves were blown away by the strong wind, Song Huaichen squinted his eyes, and in the field of vision that was about to be covered by blackness, he saw Lu Tingyun's whole body glowing with silver light, which was the external expression of the magic formula working to the extreme.

Behind the fence, Huang Yaoshi yelled and asked him: "What did you do?! He is forming a pill! He passed the foundation and directly formed a pill! The second pill formation!"

Song Huaichen couldn't even stand up, let alone answer Huang Yaoshi's question, even if he could speak now, he didn't know how to answer.

The man whose consciousness became more and more unclear did not realize that when the mysterious aura contained in the gust of wind touched his body, it crashed into the deep pool like a waterfall, and after splashing small sprays, the water in the pool swelled and overflowed in waves. Waves are gentle waves.

The vision lasted for a short time, the thunder disappeared in a flash among the clouds, and the red glow condensed into a beam of light and landed, presenting a magnificent purple in the dark sky.

The light fell on Lu Tingyun's body.

The wind stopped.

When the monk was promoted, a vision descended from the sky, and the aura in the air suddenly became much stronger.

Like every person who was almost suffocating, at the moment when his breathing suddenly became smooth, Song Huaichen was panting violently, coughing mixed with the panting, his consciousness came back, and Huang Yaoshi could be heard asking him what's the matter, are you okay, can he lift the weight? He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, but he was still speechless and could not straighten his waist.

"Brother Song." This call approached with more intense spiritual power, and Song Huaichen's breathing was able to stabilize.

"You..." Song Huaichen raised his head when Lu Tingyun reached out to help him.He wanted to ask you if you were leaving after reshaping the golden core, but he stopped the moment he saw Lu Tingyun clearly.

The Jianxiu Song Huaichen saw was in a state of being seriously injured and bewitched. No matter how calm his face was, the weakness of his body could not be concealed.

At this moment, Lu Tingyun's golden elixir was being rebuilt, his spiritual power and spirit were at their peak, and his whole body was shining brightly, which made Song Huaichen stunned.

Lu Tingyun was taken aback when he saw Song Huaichen. Although the man in his memory had always been pale and weak, he never had the terrifying appearance of purple lips and pale complexion.

"Brother Song?" Lu Tingyun supported Song Huaichen's arm, not daring to use force, for fear that when he pulled him up, he would tear this fragile person to pieces.

Song Huaichen leaned against the fence, looked down at the hand that was supporting him: "Have you returned to Jindan?"

Lu Tingyun replied: "Yes."

"Then are you leaving?"

Song Huaichen refused to stand up, so Lu Tingyun squatted down, Huang Yaoshi on the other side of the fence saw the two talking, and walked away wisely.

"It depends on whether Brother Song will keep me or not."

Song Huaichen simply sat down on the ground, in the warm and smoky summer wind, in the aura environment where he could breathe smoothly, the beast turned into a demon crawled quietly.

"I can't keep you, you can't come in." Song Huaichen looked at Lu Tingyun, and said frankly, "Besides, I can't give you the opportunity to transform into a baby you are looking for."

"Brother Song, you saved my life and helped me form alchemy. If you want me to stay, even if I don't reach Yuanying in my whole life, I won't complain."

"You said 'complaint', which means you don't want to." Song Huaichen smiled at him.The blood on the man's face recovered a little bit, and the smile was weak and weak, but it was also full of sincerity that had faded away from the disguise.

"I saved you, but I didn't do it on purpose. The pill formation was completely a coincidence, and it has nothing to do with me. I won't repay the favor, after all, you promised to do things for me."

Song Huaichen often had a smile on his face, but only this time, it made Lu Tingyun feel very real.The man he couldn't see through finally landed on the ground, the mist between them dispersed, and it was the first real face to face, but Song Huaichen was saying goodbye to him.

Lu Tingyun suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

His flirting is not serious, it is the joy of finding the same kind, and it is the curiosity of Song Huaichen.He has a good impression of men, making harmless jokes, just like Song Huaichen said, he abides by the bottom line of a gentleman, on the one hand, it is because of his character upbringing, on the other hand, it is because he just has a good impression of Song Huaichen.

But seeing Song Huaichen's smiling face at this moment, a soft place in Lu Tingyun's heart twitched slightly, and he was really moved.

"As entrusted by others, it is a matter of loyalty. I will not leave until Yingshan Lake is solved."

"But you have to go now, someone is coming."

The movement of Lu Tingyun's alchemy did not disturb the people of Yingshan Lake, but it attracted the monks, whose breath was already very close.

Song Huaichen stood up as he said that, and was about to go back to the fence, but he kicked the fence as soon as he lifted his foot.

Song Huaichen: "...how is it possible." He didn't feel any change in his cultivation.

Lu Tingyun smiled at the side: "Brother Song, you use your spiritual power to help me form alchemy, so Heaven will naturally remember you."

Huang Yaoshi, who was attracted by the sound of Song Huaichen kicking the barrier, said that this reason is very reasonable.

Jianxiu in white looked around, deliberately speaking ambiguously: "Brother Song, since you can't go back, why don't you go to the place where we met?"

The cave where the two of them hid at the beginning was crowded with people.

The cave was obviously dug up again after the collapse. There was a big gap in the ground, and there were gravels nearby.

The lush woods were gone, and the ground was covered with broken trees, and green grass sprouts emerged from the dead branches and leaves. It was a thriving summer, but the atmosphere on the field was chilling.

Song Huaichen and Lu Tingyun were hiding in the bushes a little further away from the crowd.The man still wearing Huang Yaoshi's old clothes smiled or not: "What are we here for?"

To put it bluntly, they were looking for a place to avoid the monks who were attracted by the movement of Lu Tingyun's alchemy, but they bumped into more people unexpectedly.

Song Huaichen pressed down the branch and looked at the people on the field. Those who gathered together in twos and threes were all wearing similar styles of clothes, and obviously belonged to the same sect. Roughly counting, there were about a dozen different sects, and there were more than one sect among the sects. There is communication, but the young woman in the light orange dress is isolated.

Song Huaichen remembered that woman was the one who chased and killed Lu Tingyun after Ge Qing.

"Did you see the girl in the orange dress?" Lu Tingyun also noticed her, and said softly to Song Huaichen, "She is Ge Qing's half-sister, now named Ge Yun, an inner disciple of Jingu Garden. "

Song Huaichen was surprised: "The sect that grows rice is also divided into inner and outer sects?"

This description sounds funny, Lu Tingyun raised the corners of his mouth: "Golden Valley Garden not only grows spiritual rice, but also many precious spiritual plants, including many medicinal plants."

"So Pharmacist Valley and Jinguyuan have a good relationship?"

"There are reasons for this." Lu Tingyun continued, "Although the relationship between the parents is delicate, Ge Yun and Ge Qing have a very good relationship. Ge Yun does not believe that his brother is dead, and even refuses to admit that Ge Qing is cultivating the devil after the evidence is conclusive. He is determined to find Ge Qing, restore brother's innocence."

"Brother Song, Ge Yun hates you to the bone."

"how do I say this?"

"Yu Qingyan was her unmarried Taoist partner who died at your hands."

"She didn't know that Yu Qingyan was killed by Ge Qing as a human shield?"

"I don't know if anyone told her, but most likely they knew it and refused to believe it."

Song Huaichen sarcastically said: "This girl has a deep affection for her brother."

Lu Tingyun understood what he meant: "After all, Ge Qing is her biggest backer, and her elder brother is one of the three masters of Medicine Master Valley. She can walk sideways in the Golden Valley Garden."

"Among the monks present, her cultivation is considered low."

The monks did not hide their strength on the field. From the distance between Lu Tingyun and Song Huaichen, one could clearly feel the coercion of the monks. Song Huaichen couldn't figure out the level of cultivation, but he could distinguish the level of cultivation.

Lu Tingyun followed his words and continued: "Building a six-story foundation, one level more advanced than the last time I saw it."

Song Huaichen was waiting for this sentence, he wanted to know the specific level of cultivation.When he heard what he wanted to hear, he stopped talking.

However, Lu Tingyun made his own interpretation of Song Huaichen's words: "Ge Yun got a place in Jingu Garden by relying on his elder brother's power. She is not strong in person. Now that Ge Qing is down, her life may be difficult. Based on what I know about her , she would not dare to take the risk of coming here alone."

Song Huaichen found a problem: "What are they doing here?"

"The Battle of Hushecheng exposed Yingshan Lake. The monks arrested a few villagers and found that they were all mortals. They couldn't ask anything, so they erased their memories and released them."

"The monks thought that there must be treasures in the dead end, so they searched around and found this cave, and found another formation." Lu Tingyun pointed to the dark cave entrance, "Junior Brother Wu sent me the news that the one we hid at the beginning There is a formation in the cave, so exquisite that no one can decipher it."

Song Huaichen belatedly remembered the prohibition that was sealed above his head when he fell in the cave: "Oh?"

He asked Lu Tingyun: "Are you interested in this formation?"

Lu Tingyun nodded: "Naturally."

"Brother Song wants to break the death situation in Yingshan Lake, this time may be a breakthrough." Lu Tingyun pointed to several monks wearing similar clothes to himself, "Junior Brother Wu has operated in the sect, and all the people who came here are My own, Brother Song, do you want to go and see that formation?"

Song Huaichen was amused in his heart, his face remained calm, he nodded and said: "Okay".

Chapter 25

Lu Tingyun gave a signal, and someone immediately came to pick them up. It was a pretty girl with a long sword on her back.When she saw Lu Tingyun, her eyes lit up, and she raised her hand in salute: "Congratulations, Senior Brother Lu, for making progress."

Song Huaichen raised his eyebrows. This girl obviously didn't know about Lu Tingyun's self-shattering of the golden core...According to her, after Lu Tingyun returned to the golden core, his cultivation has improved?

Lu Tingyun politely returned a salute: "It's a blessing in disguise."

He introduced to Song Huaichen: "Liu Qingyan, the closed disciple of Elder Luo Mofeng."

Song Huaichen greeted the girl, and the latter immediately returned the gift. Lu Tingyun continued to introduce Song Huaichen: "Song Huaichen, my savior."

The girl with a pretty face and a pretty name is cheerful and outgoing, she showed a big smile to Song Huaichen: "Senior brother Lu saved my life when I was young, and his benefactor is my benefactor."

As she spoke, she bowed to Song Huaichen again.

Song Huaichen said "I dare not take it" and hurriedly returned the gift.When the girl bent down, he raised the corner of his eyes and gave Lu Tingyun a meaningful look.

Lu Tingyun pretended not to see it, and asked the pretty little junior sister seriously: "How is the progress?"

Junior Sister smiled wryly: "Almost no progress."

The monks gathered outside the cave were all staring at other people's movements. Liu Qingyan couldn't leave for too long, so she stretched out her hand and said, "Talk while walking."

Before taking a step forward, she glanced at Song Huaichen hesitantly: "Song Daoyou, you..." The girl's eyes rolled around Song Huaichen's clothes, like a slightly prickly hairball.

Lu Tingyun stretched out his hand to Liu Qingyan, who handed over a Xumi bag, and the man handed it over to Song Huaichen.

Song Huaichen opened it and saw that inside was the clothes of Gui Yizong's disciples.

He was very curious about when this was prepared, but he didn't ask because Liu Qingyan was present.In view of his poor knowledge of the mortal cultivation world, Song Huaichen proposed to Lu Tingyun while changing clothes: "I'll pretend to be dumb later."

"Okay." Liu Qingyan evaded, and Lu Tingyun stood aside to help Song Huaichen get clothes, "Pretend to be a new disciple, come out to see the world."

Song Huaichen was pulling his hair up in a bun, Lu Tingyun stared at it for a while, and then suddenly cast a face-changing formula on Song Huaichen's face: "New disciples are too good-looking to be missed."

Song Huaichen: "It's really a dirty world of comprehension." When he said this, he didn't show much disgust, it was more like teasing.

Lu Tingyun smiled, he was actually afraid that Song Huaichen would be recognized, this place is too close to Hushe City.Lu Tingyun also performed a face-changing formula on his own face, and led Song Huaichen who had changed his clothes to the place where Liu Qingyan was waiting.

Song Huaichen glanced at Lu Tingyun's bland face under the influence of the formula, shook his head and sighed.

Lu Tingyun turned to ask him what's wrong.

Song Huaichen pretended to sigh: "One day is like three autumns, and I miss Lu Daoyou's true face." He turned his head and smiled and asked Liu Qingyan, "Miss Liu, do you think so?"

Liu Qingyan chuckled: "I've seen Senior Brother Lu's face for decades, so it's okay not to see him for a while...but I really miss it for the past six months."

She spoke about missing her openly, without the delicate gesture of a little daughter, but Lu Tingyun still couldn't answer.

"It's a pity that Senior Brother Lu told me that he won't transform into a Nascent Soul and won't return to the sect."

Liu Qingyan said seriously: "Although I think about Brother Lu day and night, I support him in pursuing the Dao."

Song Huaichen smiled slightly: "I should pretend to be dumb."

Afraid of revealing himself, he simply locked a small formation on his tongue.

Lu Tingyun felt the fluctuation of spiritual power, looked sideways, and only saw Song Huaichen's silent smiling face.

The sound transmission of spiritual consciousness pierced into the mind, and Song Huaichen's voice was full of curiosity: "Yu Qingyan, Liu Qingyan? Do they read the same?"

Lu Tingyun had never noticed this before, and was taken aback when Song Huaichen pointed it out: "It's a coincidence."

He and this junior sister grew up together in the sect, although they belonged to two peaks, they were inseparable when they were young, so he was able to rescue the little girl when she fell into the cold pool.

As for Yu Qingyan, that was a name they only heard of when they grew up. He is a leader among the young generation of Linchuan Academy, and he is more well-known for his other identity, one of the three heroes of Medicine Master Valley. , Ge Qing's younger sister Ge Yun's fiancé.

Liu Qingyan is successful in cultivation, but she never shows up in public. It can be said that she has nothing to do with the famous Yu Qingyan. Lu Tingyun can also be sure that at least on the surface, the two have never met.

Song Huaichen's words made him realize details that he had never paid attention to, but at the same time, the man also muttered, if the two people were really related, wouldn't it be too arrogant to have the exact same name?

Liu Qingyan brought the two of them to the valley where the monks gathered - only when they stood there could they realize that this was a valley.

The trees collapsed, and the landforms can be seen at a glance. The earth slopes rise slowly, and the center is low.But when Song Huaichen looked around, he couldn't see the low-lying area.

Lu Tingyun next to him glanced at him, pointed to his feet vaguely, and realized the strangeness of the environment.

The last time they ran for their lives, they didn't notice this.

Or maybe, the last time they ran for their lives, the terrain was indeed not like this.

The ground trembled slightly, human voices could be heard from the dark hole, and there were bursts of exploding spells.

Liu Qingyan pretended to be cold, and said to Song Huaichen and Lu Tingyun: "I don't care which peak or ancestor you were sitting on before, you have to obey my orders when you get here. The sect is sending you here this time. In order to give you a chance to practice, there is a large formation here, and it can only be broken with force."

"The array is exquisite and ever-changing. It is more suitable for sharpening swords than Xijiantan. In addition, there are outstanding monks from various sects around. It is better to learn from each other." The last sentence is a warning, "Treasure this opportunity and perform well. "

Lu Tingyun clapped his hands and promised, Song Huaichen followed suit, although his movements were a little slow, but it was very suitable for him to open his mouth and make no sound, he was completely stupefied.

The two suppressed their cultivation at the third floor of the foundation building—naturally, Song Huaichen followed Lu Tingyun’s example—the two reached the lower limit of their cultivation outside the cave, but once they entered the cave, they reached the average level .

The cave is full of monks who have just built their foundations, and there are even qi practitioners mixed in.

These low-level monks were sweating profusely, knocking and chiseling against the mountain wall, and the space inside the cave was several times larger than what Song Huaichen saw at the beginning.

And the rocks on the cave wall have also changed from ordinary stones to black langsi stones mixed with blue stripes.Langsi stone is extremely hard, and the armor made of it can withstand the full blow of the Golden Core cultivator.Because the number of langsi stones is small and difficult to grind, langsi armor is hard to find.

Liu Qingyan brought the two of them to the stone wall, and signaled to the Guiyi sect disciples who were struggling to chisel the stone there that they could rest.

Lu Tingyun pretended not to understand: "Uncle Master," he called Liu Qingyan, "aren't we here to break the magic circle?"

The shimmering formation is not far away, level with the sloping ground, with magnificent runes.

Liu Qingyan snorted coldly with disdain: "Wait until you can easily chisel the stone, and then think about the formation." After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. The monk next to her who was knocking on the wall with a hammer and spikes looked at them after Liu Qingyan left. One glance: "If you are curious, go and have a look, anyway, the people above us will not come in if they have nothing to do."

The monk looked a little old, with frost on his temples, and his cultivation was only at the foundation level.

Song Huaichen tapped on the wall with his fingers, and vividly acted out his stupefied and dumb look. Lu Tingyun saw that he was having fun by himself, so he relaxed and turned to ask the monk who spoke: "Senior, what's going on here?"

It is impossible for Wu Busheng to go into too much detail in his letter to Lu Tingyun. The man doesn't know much about the situation in the cave.

"I can't afford to be a senior like you." The monk shook his head and stopped what he was doing, "I don't know much."

"About half a year ago, Hu Shecheng was destroyed by Da Neng, the reputation of the mother and son surnamed Guge, the pharmacist, was ruined, and Yu Qingyan died in the Linchuan Academy. Do you know these things?"

Lu Tingyun nodded: "Of course, I also know that it was because of Hu Shecheng that this place was discovered."

"The ones who found this place were the heroes of various sects who went to Hushe City to finish. They found that what they were looking at here was not these stones, but the formation." The monk said, "It is said that there is a village not far away that is completely surrounded by a similar formation." Surrounded, there are still mortals living inside."

"The monks who went to Hushe City to finish the work found that many people in the village were captured by the demon cultivators to harvest nutrients, and the mortals who were treated as furnaces were actually more nourishing than the monks."

"So all sects know that the village has secrets, but ordinary people are ignorant, and the formation around the village is too huge, they can only start from other places."

"This is where they found it. The formation here is the weakest." The monk smiled wryly, "However, even though it was the weakest, those heroes still couldn't crack it. One of them smashed the wall as if venting, and then These langsi stones were found."

"Naturally, the powerful seniors disdain quarrying stones.
