Unspeakable and strange

Lying down for a while in a daze, there was a rustling sound from outside.

He washed his face with water and rinsed his mouth.I took off the clothes that were hung out to dry yesterday. The clothes were half dry and not very comfortable to wear.

He walked out the door, and Shaobai was holding a small earthen pot to collect the dew on the leaves, the tea made by the dew was clean and sweet.

Go to the backyard and hear the sound of sharp objects breaking through the air.It was Shaoan who was chopping firewood.He was chopping wood as if he was juggling, he slapped his hand on the ground, and the wood piled up into a small mountain was shaken into the air. The mouth is sharp, like a white satin when waved in the air.

The white light flickered a few times, and the wood had been split in half when it fell, and it lay flat on the ground.

Yan Ning involuntarily shouted hello.Hearing someone's praise, Shao'an turned his head, the complacent expression on his face was still there, the young man's brows and eyes were flying, and his vigor was overwhelming.Seeing that it was Yan Ning, she wanted to pretend to be indifferent, but the corners of her mouth could not be concealed, so she had no choice but to be humble.

"It's nothing, you haven't seen my master's swordsmanship, that's rare in the world."

"Your sword is also very good." Yan Ning praised, and felt that the sword looked familiar.

Shaoan caressed the sword body lovingly: "This sword originally belonged to my master, and he passed it on to me. It was made by Mrs. Xu, a famous swordsmith in the Warring States Period. The dagger Jin Ke used to assassinate Qin was his work."

"Isn't it a waste of money to chop firewood with such a good sword?" Yan Ning asked.

"The master said that carrying water and chopping firewood is nothing more than a wonderful way. As long as you respect it in your heart, it is not an insult to the sword." Shaoan put the sword back into its sheath.Just looking at the scabbard, you would never have imagined that such a simple iron scabbard would guard such an extraordinary sword. There is no decorative pattern on the cold black skin, which is so clumsy and dull compared to the sharp edge of the sword itself. .

"Did you kill these too?"

At the other end of the yard are several shelves, on which there are a lot of animal skins to dry, including rare beasts such as tigers, wolves, bears and so on.Every piece of animal skin has a complete skin, and the skinning knife is sharp and sharp. It kills with one blow, and the wound is very small. The angry eyes are wide open, as if ready to jump up and fight the enemy at any time.

"Some were killed by me, and some were caught by Shaobai. I don't know why, but the hides under his hands can always be sold at a better price."

You can also see the clues if you look closely.Shaoan uses a sword, while Shaobai uses palm force to crush the internal organs of the animal. The flesh and blood are rotten in the skin bag, and the qi has not leaked out. When the skin is peeled again, it always looks fuller than an animal with clean blood. angry.

On the remaining shelves were several bamboo baskets filled with dried herbs and spices.The morning breeze is slow, and there is a slight fragrance of medicine.

Yan Ning stepped forward, picked out those shriveled little things, turned her head and asked Shaoan: "What are these?"

Shaoan came over: "It's herbal medicine. The master taught us before, but I didn't learn it very well. These are all Shaobai's doing."

Yan Ning took a twig and put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, it smelled sweet.

"It's called Guizhi." Shao'an said.

Yan Ning smiled: "You know all of them."

Shaoan was a little embarrassed, and pointed to the lower layer, "The black, tuberous ones are called Dacaowu, and the round, white ones are pinellia, which are commonly used medicinal materials."

"It's all healing things, are you selling it for money?"

"If there are too many, we will take them to the market to sell, but the master is often injured when he returns from going out, so we are used to preparing some of everything."

"Didn't you say that your master's swordsmanship is very good, can anyone still hurt him?"

Shaoan looked at him and lowered his head again, fiddling with the medicinal materials unhappily: "Master, in order to save a person in the early years, he was backlashed by magic, and his cultivation base was not small. Although ordinary monsters still can't hurt him, it is not as good as before. He always does some dangerous things alone, so Shaobai and I can only prepare more medicinal materials for him."

According to Shao'an, the person Qin Hongfeng saved back then was King Xi among the people.From Hu Feihuan's mouth, Yan Ning knew a lot of old things about the two of them. He always wanted to know what kind of person that King Xi was. For more than ten years, it is rare to be so persistent.

"Thinking about it, there must be something extraordinary about the person your master saved that made him so fond of it."

Shaoan curled his lips, "It's just an ordinary person, but the master has always been a person who values ​​affection and commitment, so he trapped himself in it."

"So, have you met that man?"

Shaoan paused, and shook his head honestly: "Master, when he went down the mountain, no one took him with him. When he sent a secret order to summon Shaobai and me, that person was already dead. However, what difference can there be between mortal flesh and blood? "

He and Shaobai are twin immortal trees bred by Tianshui Pond, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and serving under the seat of Zhenjun Haoyang since he transformed into a human form.The acceptance of apprentices was strict, and there was only Qin Hongfeng, a closed disciple left on the mountain, and the two of them followed Qin Hongfeng to practice all the time. Over time, they called Qin Hongfeng their master and the real king their master.

The two of them are neither human nor immortal, so they have no soul, only spiritual roots, so they are naturally ignorant of empathy and love. They have trekked in the world with Qin Hongfeng for more than ten years, but they just watched the joys and sorrows of the world with cold eyes. For a moment on a branch, it is all destined.They look at mortals just like people look at butterflies, dragonflies, and ants. They are curious and sympathetic, but they can't tell the difference between them.Naturally, he didn't understand why Qin Hongfeng was so obsessed with a mortal.They may feel sorry for the death of a butterfly, but soon forget about the dead butterfly because of the birth of another butterfly.

Yan Ning grasped the information in Shaoan's words, and then asked: "Going down the mountain? Where did you come from?"

"Qingfeng Mountain is the place where Zhenjun practiced when he was in the mortal world. The place is full of spiritual energy and clear and clear. The mountain is 99 feet high. Ordinary people can only see the position of the mountainside. The top is covered with snow and the birds are extinct. "

Talking to this point, Shaobai had already collected the dew and put the small jar away, when he walked to the yard, he saw the two of them chatting and called Shaoan.Shao'an Fang felt that he had slipped his words, covered his mouth, lowered his eyes and walked to Shaobai's side.

The two of them whispered and whispered to each other, raising their eyes to look at Yanning from time to time.Seeing the two of them being wary, Yan Ning scowled angrily, turned around and walked away, entering the house.

Congee and side dishes were placed on the table in the house, and only two sets of bowls and chopsticks were prepared.

Without squinting, Yan Ning lifted the partition curtain and walked into the inner hall.

To enter the guest room, one needs to pass through the master bedroom where Qin Hongfeng lives. Yan Ning glanced at it, and was surprised to find that there was a brass poured lock on the door of this room, as if something invisible was hidden inside.

He thought about it again, if it wasn't for the amazing value of the hidden things, why should he be so cautious?I'm afraid that what Hu Feihuan wants him to find is in there.

He raised his hand to get the hanging brass lock, but when he looked closely, he found that something was wrong. The lock was engraved with fine yellow lightning patterns, and golden light continued to flow along the chiseled grooves. It was obviously not a vulgar thing. .

When the fingertips were about to touch, Yan Ning was still cautious, curled up her fingers, and retracted her hand.

"You should be careful."

Turning his head, Shaobai was leaning against the railing, and while he was speaking, a stone bounced past. As soon as he touched the brass lock, the lock instantly exploded in brilliance, smashing the stone into powder in an instant.

To set up such a vicious mechanism in his own house.

Shaobai stood up straight and walked to his side: "Master's room has an enchantment, don't keep wandering around. If you are accidentally injured, neither Shao'an nor I have the ability to save you."

If you look carefully, you can see that the boundary around the room is covered with a layer of faint golden light, which is indistinct and invisible if you don't pay attention.

"No one is allowed to enter this main house. The master has left a ray of consciousness here, and there are few troubles. Even though he is thousands of miles away, he can feel it."

Yan Ning turned her head and asked with a smile, "I don't know what unborn treasure is hidden in this room, so how to guard against it?"

Shaobai also laughed: "There are tens of thousands of treasures in the world, and the master carefully maintains them, but I'm afraid it's not the one Mr. Yan is looking for."

There is also a pigeon house built behind the hut, carrier pigeons often come in and out, and Shaobai handles the receiving and sending of letters all by himself.Each pigeon is numbered on its feet, and Shaobai will go to take inventory at night, making it mysterious.

Yan Ning couldn't master Kungfu, didn't have the ability to bend a bow and shoot birds, and tried to see what news was being delivered several times, but couldn't find a chance.

Looking for an opportunity to inquire, but since the incident in the backyard, Shaobai Shaoan has become more careful with Yan Ning, even to the point of reticence, completely useless.

In this way, staying here for a few days can be said to be fruitless.

Yan Ning sat trapped in the house every day, unable to do anything, rolled up her sleeves and saw a black thread on her white arm, like a coiled snake, circling upwards.The poison of the withered vine flares up once every fifteen days. When it flares up, the veins on the arm will show black lines. The longer it drags on, the darker the color will be, and the more painful the flare-up will be.

Hu Feihuan set a three-month term for him.It took Qin Hongfeng only half a month to leave, which was a waste of time.

Yan Ning sighed, turned around and saw that the weather was fine today, and the vegetation on the mountain was lush and green, so she wanted to find some pain-relieving and paralyzing herbs around her, smashed them up and took them, so as to save herself from being too embarrassed when the first round of poison occurred.

So he packed up his equipment, found a basket and a sickle in the house, and went up the mountain.

Besides, Qin Hongfeng's trip this time was to go to Nanguang Xianjun's Mansion Cave to borrow the Xuanguang Mirror.

Seeing that Yan Ning looked so much like his old friend, and he couldn't see through the true nature of this monster, he wanted to turn to Xuanguang Mirror for help to distinguish the authenticity.

The Xuanguang mirror is carved out of heavenly stone, which can not only pass through the three worlds but also understand the past and present.Take a drop of blood and melt it into the mirror, you can see the person's front when you stand upright, and you can get a glimpse of the person's future when you stand backward.

He and Nan Guang had parted ways since Qingfeng Mountain, and they hadn't seen each other for decades. After borrowing things, they naturally wanted to continue their old relationship.It's just that Nanguang's official duties are trivial, and halfway through the two of them eating wine, a child knocked on the door and said that there was something wrong with the karma tree.Nanguang is in charge of the four hardships in the world. It is a job with too much merit and little merit, and it is troublesome and disgusting.The newly ascended immortals all avoided them in fear.

Immortals are divided into three categories, Shangxian, Loose Immortals, and Earth Immortals. Except for those born with immortal embryos and immortal bones growing in the sky, the rest will claim their positions based on their merits when they ascend.Originally, based on Nanguang's aptitude and background, it was more than enough to find a position as an immortal. No matter how bad it was, he should be a loose immortal, and he would never become an earth immortal.

But something went wrong when he was promoted to immortal and promoted, and he was delayed by common affairs. When he got to the Nantianmen, the ceremony was almost over, and there was only one post of immortal left that no one wanted.Nanguang Shuimo's temperament is gentle and respectful, and he is never picky. He gave him the seal when he was awarded the gift by Xingjun, and he readily agreed. He then signed the immortal record, annotated his official name, and really entered the mansion cave and became a mansion. Lord, listen to the wailing appeals of mortals when they bow to the Buddha statue through the Xuanguang mirror every day, and then write them down one by one.

Among the earth immortals, the mountain god Land, the door god Kitchen God, all of them can be regarded as leisure and good jobs. As long as they protect a family with mountains and rivers, they can enjoy the incense in the world for nothing.Only Nanguang is different. The four sufferings in the world are under the jurisdiction of one person. There can be no mistakes in birth, old age, sickness and death. Everything has to be done according to the karma book in the sky.

After Nan Advertisement resigned and left, Qin Hongfeng went back to the mountain after having a drink alone.

Falling to the boundary of Fuyu Mountain, one can vaguely see a monster aura emanating from the dense forest of Zhenzhen.

When he descended into the clouds, he realized that there was an evil spirit at work.

With him settled in Fuyu Mountain, it should have been clear and bright, and nothing would dare to come here to act wildly.I don't know if it's because he has output too much mana recently, and it has only been half a month since he walked here. It is really abnormal to be so arrogant here.

He walked into the forest, there was a faint rustling sound from the grass and trees, he pulled his eyebrows, raised his sleeve, and a sword flew out from the sleeve like a white sword. The name of the sword was Qing Hongying, it was Qingfeng Mountain The secret treasure of the fairy family.The shadow of the sword was cold, as thin as a piece of paper, and it was retracted into the sleeve in an instant.Qin Hongfeng brushed aside the weeds, took a closer look, and found that the ones lying on the ground were just two white rat spirits. They had not been formed for a long time, and their mana was weak. They were considered the worst spirits.He was a little disdainful, but when he turned his head, he saw someone was tied to a tree by vines, his head was tilted to one side, and he had passed out.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Yan Ning.
