When you wake up, all the apprentices are betrayed and leave the teacher's door

Under the bright and narrow firelight of Huozhezi, a handsome and three-dimensional face was revealed.

He has deep eye sockets, narrow eyebrows, thin lips, sharp corners of the mandible, and a thin face, which is quite different from the appearance of the Central Plains people.Gu Rongjing has a pair of slightly raised sharp black eyebrows, slightly long eyes, and a small mole two inches below the left eye.

Xian Yu has a typical appearance from the Central Plains, with cool facial features, hanging phoenix eyes, and not too many sharp lines on his face.The bridge of his nose is also straight, but it is a bit inferior to Gu's.

From the very beginning, he thought that with those eyebrows and eyes, he should be very handsome, perhaps with a little blood of the Western Regions.

But he never thought that Gu Rongjing would look so similar...

"My mother is from the Western Regions."

Gu Rongjing replied calmly.

When he fell into the water, he actually felt the looseness of the face towel.It's just that there is too much resistance when they fall, and they have been soaked underwater for so long, it is not surprising that the face towels were washed away.

Now that it's gone, it's gone.

He lowered his eyes and said: "She entered Jinye City with the vehicles from the Western Regions, and later... gave birth to me."

Golden Leaf City is a soup city in the land of Zhaojin Kingdom. It is said that it is several times more prosperous and luxurious than the imperial city, and it is also more complicated.Countless people from the six worlds come and go, and transactions such as buying and selling are gathered here. In recent years, cartloads of beauties from the Western Regions have been sent to Golden Leaf City. It is self-evident what kind of business they do there.

People in the Western Regions have strange looks. The men are tall and strong, with curly and lush hair; the women have full breasts, full lips and blue eyes.

However, the lack of materials and economic lag in the Western Regions still insisted on opening the Silk Channel with the Zhaojin Kingdom and establishing business ties, which brought a deep shadow to the local Western Regions people.

The trading of human beings has infiltrated into the Zhaojin Kingdom bit by bit. Men are bought to be house slaves, caretakers, or to do clumsy chores; , can only be ranked in the lowest ranks among female Chang.

Even the children born are called wild species, the lower class of the lower class, and the future has no bright future.

This kind of culture is very popular in the secular world. Even the children of rich gentry will bring "slaves from the Western Regions" with them when they go out. Firstly, it is to show the wealth of their family, and secondly, it can also be used as a plaything for boring entertainment.

Although there is no such cruel exploitation in the world of cultivating immortals, decent monks also have a natural discrimination against them, thinking that these people are "not yet enlightened" and are not suitable for practicing Taoism.

In this way, it can be explained why Gu Rongjing has a good body, but has nowhere to study, bumps into walls everywhere, and can only do casual practice.

Xian Yu endured it for a while, but still asked, "How old are you?"

People from the Western Regions are taller than them, and Xian Yu is already taller among men, but Gu Rongjing was half a head shorter than him.Before, he always thought that the other party should be in his 20s, but now it seems...

"Next year and crown."

Gu Rongjing replied.

Xian Yu: "..."

If you look at his face, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Gu Rongjing is as old as him, or even his elder brother.But in fact, he is a lush young man who is nineteen years old and has not yet reached the crown. He is already an old man over 500 years old.

This, this, this is smaller than Zhao Sheng.

"..."

The way Xian Yu looked at the little apprentice gradually changed from looking at the child to looking at the little milk dog toddling.

Under the light of the fire, Gu Rongjing's water-soaked, slightly curly black hair hung down softly.

"I know the rules of your Central Plains." His face was not clear, and a faint figure was reflected in the eyes of Xian Yu, "You shouldn't accept me...I told you."

Xian Yu came back to her senses, and stuffed the prepared warm stone into his palm, "I haven't heard of it, and I don't know the rules of the Central Plains."

He was a little surprised by the cold temperature of Gu Rongjing's palm.

Xian Yu simply knelt down and held Gu Rongjing's hands, pressing them on the warm stones to warm them up.His palms are rough, with calluses from holding the knife, but the skin on the back of his hands is still delicate, his ten fingers are also slender, and his nails are round and clean. He can tell that he has been taken care of frequently.

"If it's true, as a monk in the Foundation Establishment Period, according to the 'rules', I am not qualified to start a sect."

Xian Yu raised his eyebrows, met his gaze, and smiled slightly, "You are a casual cultivator of half Western Region blood, and I am a half-water Foundation Establishment... Look, isn't this a good match, a perfect match, a heavenly match? "

Gu Rongjing was stunned, "You are different."

Zhao Sheng said that Xian Yu had a Mahayana cultivation base.

Although Xian Yu never showed it, he believed that none of them were lying.

"It's nothing different. If I'm different, then you should be different too." After his hands gradually warmed up, Xian Yu draped her blanket over him again, without giving him a chance to refute, "It's much better." Is it? Let’s go if there’s nothing else to do.”

Eighteen or nineteen-year-old brat, why do you think so much every day?According to Xian Yu's thinking, at this age, he should stay at home and practice sword hard every day, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the world.

"..."

He didn't listen, so Gu Rongjing had no choice but to swallow the words back.

The two got up and groped along the depths of the underground river together.

There is an arc-shaped cave roof above the Dihe River, which looks extraordinarily wide and neatly shaped.

"It's not like it was chiseled out naturally, it should be man-made." This is not the only point of doubt, Xian Yu murmured, "I think that snake must have practiced for thousands of years, and it has already grown two hind legs. You can turn a dragon into a dragon, but you still stay in this secret realm..."

There is not much difference between the cultivation path of Jiao Snake and human beings. Everyone has to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, open up their wisdom, and go through thunder and calamity.

The aura in this small secret realm is obviously not enough for it to ascend.

For the monks, it is a good thing for the snake to become a dragon. On the contrary, if the lightning disaster of the snake is destroyed, it will be recorded in the merit book after death.In addition, Flood Snake's cultivation level is not low, most people would not do such a stupid thing, and there are even monks who take the initiative to help Flood Snake and invite him to practice in his own mountain gate, hoping to establish a good relationship with him.

This also led to the relationship between the dragon snake and the human monks, which is not bad, but can be called harmonious.

However, no one in Jiaoqian Secret Realm has seen Jiaosnake for many years, and Xian Yu and the others saw it, which is very strange.

This snake hides and hides, huddled in such a wet and dark place, and even gave up the practice of swallowing pearls and becoming a dragon, what is the reason for...

"There seems to be something on the roof of the cave."

Gu Rongjing suddenly pointed to the top of his head.

Hearing this, Xian Yu immediately cast a bright moon lighting technique, casting the moonlight on the ceiling of the cave, and sure enough, as he said, some traces of disorder gradually appeared on the ceiling of the cave.

After careful identification, he realized that these were all murals.

The mural is very wide, almost occupying half of the ceiling of the cave, and stretches into the distance without end.

The most important thing is that these murals seem to be strung together into a story, and there is a snake in each painting.

The first mural shows a giant snake with a black body and a spotted head. Its stature is astonishing.The snake started out coiled with an elephant standing in front of it.By the second frame, the elephant had disappeared, replaced by a bunch of skeletons.

In the third picture, there are people standing in front of the snake, men, women, old people and children, of all kinds.

They showed fear, and behind them was a small village with cooking smoke.

Gu Rongjing frowned, "What is this painting?"

"The Story of Hou Yi Killing the Snake Xiu."

Xianyu explained the allusion to him, "Snake Xiu is a big snake. It once swallowed an elephant alive and spit out the bones three years later. Later, because snake Xiu attacked humans, the Yellow Emperor was angry and sent Hou Yi to solve the matter. Hou Yi After shooting Snake Xiu with an arrow, he killed Snake Xiu in two sections with one knife, and the snake body of Snake Xiu turned into a hill after death."

Gu Rongjing paused, then nodded slowly.

After the story of repairing the snake is over, there is another new series of murals. This time it tells the story of Yugong Yishan, but the protagonist is not Yugong, but a different perspective.

"Once upon a time, there was a mountain god named Yu'er in the Fufu Mountain. He held two snakes in his hands and possessed supernatural powers. He often wandered around the rivers and rivers. Then one day he saw Yugong moving the mountain, so he reported this to the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven was very moved when he heard about it, so he sent the two sons of Kua'e to help Yugong move the two mountains."

Gu Rongjing gradually couldn't understand, "The Yellow Emperor asked Hou Yi to kill the snake, why did the Heavenly Emperor make the snake god the mountain god?"

"Well, the Heavenly Emperor and the Yellow Emperor are not the same person. What's more, he killed the snake that made a mistake. I heard that the Yellow Emperor also had the head of a man and the body of a snake. Snakes are considered by them to be extremely spiritual animals that connect heaven and earth..."

Not only the Yellow Emperor, Fuxi and Nuwa also have a human head and a snake body.

"But these are just fabrications." He said vaguely, "There is no trace of them in the world, you just listen to it as a story."

"Oh……"

They have carefully read the murals afterwards, all of which are myths and rumors about snakes, nothing particularly unusual.

They looked up all the way, Xian Yu's neck was sore.After walking for about half an hour, the sound of running water suddenly and gradually stopped.A wall with a magic circle is in front of him, but the water is still flowing in, as if flowing into another space.

They are not unfamiliar with this kind of magic circle, and they were transported to the river bank through a similar method when they first entered the secret realm.

It seems that this is where Qin Ting wants them to go.

Just don't know where it will lead...

Xian Yu always had an inexplicable premonition, but couldn't explain it clearly.

He said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

After all, the two walked towards the boulder, and at the moment when they were about to hit each other, a white light lit up, and they quickly melted into this light.

At the moment of disappearance, on the murals on the ceiling of the corridor, snakes of different sizes and colors all opened their eyes.

Before the white light dissipated, Xian Yu could already hear the sound of the surging river.When I opened my eyes, the scene in front of me was very familiar: fine white sand, turbulent waves, and endless rivers.

They actually returned to the entrance of the secret realm.

No wonder this river seems to be undercurrents, which is different from ordinary rivers and extremely dangerous.It turns out that all the water here is poured from the underground river.

The first magic circle entered the secret realm, the second magic circle sent them to the snake cave, and the third magic circle circled around and flew back.

What was Qin Ting thinking?Just to let them take a day trip to the snake cave?Or is it that he didn't even know there was a formation there?

Xian Yu frowned slightly, no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure out the key point.Suddenly there were several gasps behind him, and then a familiar and surprised voice sounded, "Fellow Daoist Xian?"

Qin Ting?

How could he be here?

Xian Yu was slightly taken aback, then turned to look——

Dozens of disciples stood in front of them, all of them in a panic, with anger and disbelief written all over their faces.Among them, there are two or three fellow Taoists whose faces are very familiar. Looking at it again, it turned out that they had only met last night.

Qin Ting's face was confused at first, but then he understood something, he couldn't help but staggered back a step, and murmured: "No, no...how could it be you?"

Xian Yu's heart sank, and she suddenly understood a little.
