Qi Huang Xian Road

The next day, Jimo got up early when the sky was getting brighter at five o'clock.Although he is a disciple of handyman, the Bailian Sect occupies a large area, and he has not treated him badly. He lives alone in a bamboo courtyard.Located in the bamboo forest on the hillside of Guanshi Mountain, there is a kind of tranquility and leisure, which is quite harmonious.

This peak is a certain distance away from the peak where Jimeran works, but Jimoran has already achieved a small amount of internal energy practice. He circulates his true energy, gathers it all over his body and gathers it on his feet.The lush flowers and leaves do not stain the body, the dew condenses, the cold air rises, and they line up beside Jimoran.If outsiders see it, they can only praise it, "It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's really good."

It took only a moment to reach Zhilan Peak. This mountain extends to the south, and it is isolated here. The entire mountain peak is covered by a ban. It seems that there is a red pillar rising into the sky, which looks very spectacular.

"Where are you, you dare to stay outside Zhilan Peak, but what's wrong?!" As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they heard an angry sound coming from a distance, accompanied by bursts of coercion.Jimoran was momentarily unstable, his body half-bent as if saluting.

Jimeran naturally calmed down, and replied: "Xiao Mou came here from the management. He is a wilderness. If he doesn't recognize etiquette, please forgive me if he offends." Jimeran felt that his pressure was getting weaker, and the footsteps were getting closer. So I looked up.

"Oh, steward? Handyman disciple. There is no need for mortal etiquette to enter my sect. Just call yourself brother, and follow me!" If you walk on the flat ground in the mountains, you will know that it is not easy to practice.

Jimoran walked closely with him, and would occasionally strike up a conversation.

"Do you know that Zhilan Peak specializes in alchemy?"

"Xiao Mou also heard a little bit, please brother explain in detail."

It seemed that this kind of question and answer made this person very happy, and he said with a smile, "It is necessary to know that the art of alchemy is a must for practice. How can ordinary people have the opportunity to realize this kind of mystery? Master Pingfeng is a rare genius in refining medicine! Therefore, Feng Bu There are many restrictions, just in case the night is small. You take this thing."

After finishing speaking, he handed over a palm-sized jade tablet, faintly engraved with the word orchid.It happens to be hung on the hem of the clothes.

Jimo Ran guessed that this was the passport.Immediately followed, and finally stood on the mountainside platform after a moment.Looking around, this Zhilan Peak is strange, a mountain has four avenues, the four roads divide the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, each planted with many herbs, Ji Moran secretly counted the types of herbs without making a sound.

Looking closely, it is clear that it has been sorted out. There is a palace, which is quite strictly decorated.

"Look carefully, this thing is called fire spar, and it has the ability to ignite fire. Add five pieces to the local fire every day. Add it at Mao time, Si time and three quarters, noon time, Shen time, and Xu time. Don't delay the time. .Furthermore, these spiritual planting seeds must be planted in the spiritual field at the back of the hall." Senior Brother Guilu ordered everything he had done one by one.

Jimo Ran also had something unclear, so he immediately asked, "I just don't know how to cultivate this spiritual plant?"

"Cultivation? Just plant it. Xu Ji uses mountain springs to irrigate it." The words were vague, and the meaning was unclear. I am afraid that I am not very proficient in the method of planting.But then he lowered his tone, "There are also many elixir in this hall, which are hidden in the jade box, so don't be distracted. Only those who use the corresponding jade token can take it away." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the mountain.

Jimo Ran stayed here alone, not in a hurry, he looked at the platform here leisurely.There is only a large hall, no plaque, simple decoration, and a furnace in the center, but the roof is invisible, and it is closely connected to the top of the hall. Jimoran feels a little irritated when he gets close.

Looking at the sundial, it only takes a moment to act, sow seeds and advance spar.

One day is very monotonous and boring, but this is exactly what Jimeran likes.Time passed quickly, and we returned to Guanshifeng before closing the mountain.

Everyone in the house has gathered in one place, seeming to be talking.Immediately Jimoran also joined in.

It turned out that this place was distributing the clothes of the servants and disciples, and Jimo Ran also received a set and a bottle of Bigu Pill.It turns out that cultivators no longer need five grains to make a living, because mortal things have impurities, which are not good for cultivation.

The costumes of the handyman disciples are the same as most of the disciples seen in Jimoran, but the workmanship is a little rough, and there are only a few colors embroidered on the hem, and there is a thin jade plaque that records personal behavior.

Afterwards, Jimeran was dragged to his residence by Liu Hui, just looking at his tired face, but also in good spirits, it was clear.

Liu Hui's residence is not far from Jimo Ran, there are two Chu Bos in the house.It also looks very excited.

The four of them sat together and communicated, sighing a lot for a while.

"Oh, the manager has too many calculations, it's really troublesome." It was Chu Yezheng who was speaking, complaining.

"Your work isn't hard at all, okay! I'm almost exhausted moving those ledgers!" Liu Hui was telling the truth, he lay on the table as if he was too lazy to move.

"Hey, it's quite easy for me, just moving a lot of iron." Bai Weihan said with a smile.

Jimo Ran knew that he was probably the hardest working here. When he first met him, he knew that he was born with strange strength, and he hurt himself with one palm.

"Hey, if Daoist Ning didn't intervene that day, we would be registered disciples now, so why would we need to suffer this?" Chu Yezheng seemed to say it unintentionally, but got the consent of the other two.

"Daoist Sheng Yuan is a kind person! As long as we work hard, I believe that according to our aptitude, we can only practice Qi at the [-]th level!" Liu Hui immediately became excited and said to everyone.

"Well, Daoist Sheng Yuan is really a good man!" Bai Wei also said the same.After hearing this, Jimo Ran didn't say much, just smiled and thought to himself, 'I don't think so. '

Day after day, spring and autumn have passed in the blink of an eye. Although you can't feel the natural changes in Bailianzong, but in Zhilan Peak, the herbs will change their directions with the four seasons.

Simply speaking, Jimo Ran is gradually getting used to this kind of life, which is boring and tedious, but Jimo Ran is quiet by nature. After he is proficient in things, he can often spare a lot of time to practice inner strength. .

Liu Hui and Zhu Yezheng are also still in the stewardship hall, they heard that they have done a good job, and they should be taken seriously.However, Bai Wei got a chance at Qianduan Peak. Seeing that he was born with strange strength and kind-hearted temperament, an uncle planned to accept him as an outer disciple after the school competition.The three of them are also gradually estranged, which is also within Jimeran's expectation. Jimeran has never seen half a person in Zhilan Peak for a year, but fortunately, he half lives on Zhilan Peak.

Sometimes Xu Ke would send messengers to greet him, but he reported good news but not bad news, and he never alienated him for a while.Even Bai Chingzheng never contacted, and Ji Moran never cared.

Jimoran went up to Zhilan Peak early as usual, because it is winter and the sky is still dark.When he was on the platform, he was hit on the head by a jade box that fell from the sky.Jimoran picked up the jade box and saw that it was the ones he guarded.Jimoran had carefully looked at those jade boxes, the material was unknown, but it was absolutely extraordinary, the herbs never spoiled, and they were extremely hard.

There are also various speculations at the moment, and a branch is taken from the forest.Equal hand length, about two fingers wide.Walking lightly and slowly, when I got to the platform, I found that the platform that was originally neat and tidy is now in disarray and chaos.

Since it was still early and the sun had not diffused, I couldn't see the appearance of the main hall clearly. I just felt something vaguely, and Ji Moran held a branch close to his back and walked in gradually. In fact, the whole hall looks quite big, but the actual usable space is very small. , because the tripod in the center occupies one-fifth of the place.On the oblique right, there is a group of black shadows rustling, who don't know what to do, and jade boxes or bottles are thrown away from time to time.

A gust of wind floated into the hall, blowing the hanging tent, which was extremely strange.

Jimoran was attacked by the cold wind and only stabbed the Baihui acupoint on a single branch for a moment. When he got closer, he found that it was a young child, and immediately stabbed down with his right hand backhand, breaking the branch.

Jimo Ran tightly protected his right hand with his left hand, looking at the young boy.He remained motionless as if stunned.Jimoran felt relieved when he saw it.This young boy's clothes are black, only his face is the whitest, it looks like it is made of jade, his facial features are thin and soft, which makes people love him.

"This is Zhilan Peak, no one else can enter, how did you get in?" Jimo Ran looked at the child and said.

But the other party didn't give him any answer, he recovered and continued to open the jade box, Jimo Ran didn't say much, touched his head, and took out a slightly larger porcelain bottle from his bosom.

The toddler raised his head as if he was about to speak, Jimeran quickly filled his mouth with a red ball.

"Hey, eat slowly." Jimo Ran smiled softly, taking out sugar pills from the porcelain bottle and stuffing them into the young child's mouth.The material used for this sugar pill is many herbs grown in the Lingtian of the Queen Palace.It has the effect of invigorating the spleen and appetizing.Jimoran vaguely recalled that back then in the Tang Dynasty, there were many young disciples from many sects who especially liked to eat candied haws, just like this, they couldn't stop eating.

After about a cup of tea, Jimoran shook the porcelain bottle in his hand regretfully and found that the sugar pill was gone. Looking at the young boy who was about to move, he just patted his head and said, "Good boy, it's gone."

Jimeran saw that the young boy lowered his head and was throwing a temper tantrum, but he was just trying to please him. Jimeran said to him, "Hey, you need a corresponding jade card to take the medicine here. Don't make a fuss!"

'You're the one who makes trouble, and you're the one who behaves! ………" The young boy scolded Jimoran fiercely in his heart, but he didn't dare to open his mouth, for fear that if he opened his mouth again, he would not know what would be filled in.

The sun finally rose slowly and spread to the main hall. The young boy looked at the sky and shouted in his heart, 'No, it's too late! ! ! ’ Immediately, he stepped forward and picked up a few jade boxes, all the jade cards were opened in a blink of an eye, picked up the medicinal materials and hurried away.

Jimo was dazzled by the sun, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Walking Chaos and a jade tablet.With a guess in my heart, I couldn't help but touch my forehead.Organized resignedly.

a day later.

Jimo Ran was cultivating spiritual plants on time, when he suddenly heard a distant voice, "Brother Jimo is overjoyed! Overjoyed." It was the senior brother who led the way that day.

Jimo Ran just felt baffled, so he asked, "I don't know yet, what's your wish, Senior Brother?"

"Haha, Peak Master Ping wants to kiss you to meet him! Isn't this a great joy, if the Peak Master sees that you have the ability to mention you, it will be a good thing to go to the sky in one step!!! Maybe I will ask you to take care of me in the future Two." The leading brother seemed very happy, even his white hair seemed to be shining.

"Don't dare to dare. It's just..." Jimo Ran only felt that this matter was full of strangeness, and was about to ask in detail but was interrupted by the senior brother who led the way.

"There's so much nonsense here, let's go! Don't keep the peak master waiting for too long." Pulling Jimo Ran, he walked away.

Jimeran was quite helpless and was forced to follow, but he still asked, "Brother, do you know how the peak master knows about us and other little people."

"I heard that one day the peak master went to the mountainside and saw the spiritual plants you planted? ... Anyway, there are many sayings."

Jimoran only felt more uneasy when he heard these unreliable claims.

The mountainside is not far from the top of the mountain, and we will arrive in about three quarters.

As soon as he stepped on the top of the mountain, he felt a kind of irritability surrounding his body, Jimo Ran finally understood the usefulness of the mountain tripod.In the center of the mountain top, there is a huge eight formations, each with a cauldron, and the middle one is a waist-thick soaring flame. How cleverly Jim Moran guessed that this is "earth fire". One is fire, and different fires are suitable for different medicinal materials, so that the medicinal effects can be fully exerted.

The senior brother leading the way led Jimo Ran around here, and Jimo Ran could faintly see a hall behind the eight formations.

After entering the hall, Jimo felt that his internal organs seemed to be burning, and the turbid air filled his whole body, showing anxiety.Immediately stopped, running vigorously in a strange way.

[The way of nourishing qi, the inner valley is the treasure. 】This is the operation method of Wanhua mental method, which is called "fresh and calm air".It is also a special scene to display here.

"Hey! I actually forgot, you are still in the qi training period!" Senior Brother Leading the Road seemed to have just remembered, after a few formulas, Jimo felt that his skin was frosted and extremely cold.

"Go in, I'll be waiting."

"Well, that's the case."

Jimoran pushed open the door of the palace and felt the alternating cold and heat all over his body in an instant, and then he recovered.The temple is full of various herbs, which are randomly scattered around.The whole hall is decorated with bright red.There are also dozens of tripods.

"Who is here?" came a soft voice, although the voice was tender, it seemed to be carrying a heavy weight.At this time, Jimeran realized the coercion of Almighty, like the frog stared at by the snake, and the cloud controlled by the wind, unable to move at all.

"Xiao, I'm just a disciple of the handyman. Some brothers rumored that the peak master invited me."

"Oh? Is it the handyman disciple who has been in charge of guarding the cauldron fire and medicinal materials on the mountainside?" With the sound of the voice, the pressure gradually faded away.

"Exactly, I just don't know about the peak master..." Jimo Ran immediately replied, but was interrupted.

"Since you have entered the sect, you are a disciple of my sect, so just call him Dao Zun."

"Yes, Daoist, but I don't know what is the important thing to call me here?" The coercion receded, and Jimo Ran gradually stood up, but always lowered his head, not looking at the source of the sound.

"I see that you put your heart into cultivation, so you are a careful person. I am in short supply of stove fires. Would you like to come?" The tone was soft but inexplicably carried an irresistible meaning.

Jimo Ran just said, "I would like to ask Daoist Master to be considerate, but I know my own level. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on this important task."

"Hey, I said I can..., I believe in you." The voice of the superior was inexplicably excited and then calmed down.

Jimo Ran didn't know something, but his coercion gradually increased, and Jimo Ran also knew that he might have no choice.

"Listen well, come here to take care of the Four Seasons Cauldron, don't let the earth fire go out, and this change is enough for you to learn." There was a sense of joy in the words.In a moment of excitement, he stood outside the curtain.

Jimo Ran finally saw him.

It turned out that Taoist Pingzheng was one of the Taoist priests who confronted Lord Sheng Yuanfeng that day, and Mo Ran also understood why he faced each other like this, and sighed secretly.

Daoist Ping looks like a child, about three feet eight in stature.The skin is exquisite, the facial features are snow-white with a sense of translucency, and the white clothes are ethereal and leisurely - if the hideous expression on the face is excluded.Seeing Jimo Ran, it became more and more certain that he was forced to divide the camp.

After Jimeran took the order, he was taken to the side hall to take care of the Four Seasons Cauldron. The top of the mountain was extremely hot because it was directly connected to the earth fire. It would be fine for ordinary people, but Jimeran was just the spiritual root of the three systems of wood, water and earth.

According to the records of the travel notes of various countries, "the spiritual root determines a person's attributes, perhaps character or physique. I have traveled all over the countries, although I don't know the changes, but I am sure that there are such changes." So Jimo Ran was out of luck.While urging the flow of true energy, while concentrating on paying attention to the cauldron fire, in addition to using spring mud to protect flowers and fresh and calm air from time to time to ensure your own safety.What Jimoran is most worried about is that he has not been found after being roasted in the side hall of Zhilan Peak.

At the end of the day, he was exhausted, and he still had to struggle to climb back. He got a bucket of hot water and soaked it in. Inside the hot water was the medicinal bath bag that Jimo had carefully prepared before. on.Soaking with lemongrass, double-sided needles, wormwood... and many other herbs can also relieve stress.Medicinal bath also has the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the bones.But the next day it will start all over again.

The only thing worth mentioning is that Jimo Ran gradually got used to it in such an environment, and he was even able to handle it with ease.Here, we must also marvel at the superb mystery of Wanhua martial arts.It should be noted that the first step in self-cultivation is only at the foundation building stage. Before that, no matter how many layers of qi training, it is only a little better than ordinary people, but Moran's Wanhua martial arts may have reached the peak of mortal qi training.

Jimeran gradually passed through this side hall and became more and more comfortable. There were also some books in this side hall, which recorded some basic knowledge of elixirs. Jimeran carefully copied them one by one, and read them when he had nothing to do.

Perhaps Taoist Tian Ping remembered such a person who dared to tease him when he was free.Therefore, I observed them quietly, wanting to see their respective ugliness.

But he must be disappointed, let's not say that Jimo Ran is a disciple of Wanhua, let's say that his temper is also famous in Wanhua Valley.As the disciples of Wanhua Xinglin, they are already gentle enough, otherwise they don't deal with all kinds of patients.But Jimoran's gentleness has reached the extreme, an existence that ordinary people cannot reach.Everyone affectionately gave him the nickname "Dan Wen".

I have to say that a certain Daoist was very unhappy after watching it.So Jimo Ran was going to be unlucky.

"In my opinion, this person is a stable person who will become a great talent. He needs to participate in the martial arts competition, and I can officially accept him as an entry." It was such a sentence that forced Jimo Ran to join the martial arts competition. After hearing this, Jimo Ran could only sigh and secretly said in his heart "It turns out that the appearance is younger, but the heart is also younger!"

After inquiring from all parties, I found out the true meaning of this small competition. It turns out that the Bailian sect has a very strict system, one level is higher than the next level, and the treatment is very different. The small competition and the big competition are justifiable ways to upgrade.

The Big Competition is where the disciples of the Zongmen compete with each other, while the Little Competition is to hold various activities to test the mentality, aptitude, etc. of the disciples of the Zongmen.After hearing this, Jimo Ran only felt that it was troublesome and didn't fit his way of dealing with the world, but it was difficult for him to choose between being a wolf and a tiger.

'There is only adaptability'.Jimo Ran put down the classics in his hand in the bamboo house and thought of it like this.
