Master on the side of the road, don't pick it up

As soon as the Taoling Secret Realm was opened, the disciples couldn't wait to turn into light and enter, and the blue clouds disappeared without a trace.

The vortex was closed, those who came to see him off dispersed one by one, and the rest of the teachers stayed where they were.

Sensing the turbulent spirit in the air, Elder Discipline reprimanded: "Boys." But he couldn't look back for a long time.

Xuan Qizi teased him: "Come on old man Feng, don't be so stubborn, you see everyone has left, why are you looking there?"

Holding the flagon, his cheeks were flushed, he hiccupped, and muttered: "My little apprentice is as stubborn as a donkey, I hope this trip to the secret place, hiccup, can kill his temper."

"Can it be the same? I am a girl, only thirteen, how can I be bullied." Elder Discipline retorted.

Shen Zhexue couldn't help laughing, that girl Qiao Tan beat and killed all day long, it's good if she didn't bully others, who would dare to bully her.

The white-bearded Elder An, who had tested Shi Yuan's spiritual root beside him, was quite worried, "Girl Guzhen suffered a lot in the Heart Demon Formation, so there won't be any obstacles in this Peach Spirit Secret Realm?"

Jiang Qianchui wondered: "However, this secret realm has never been opened before, why would you want to use it this time?"

Shen Zhexue was also a little puzzled, he had only been to Taoling Secret Realm once, and he was called back after surveying half of the map.

After the catastrophe, the trajectory of these small secret realms became a mystery, changing day and night. Taiqingzong and Hanshan did not know the purpose of using the peach spirit secret realm this time.

Yan Yuanhan did not leave, and said with his hands behind his back: "Although the world of cultivation has been stable for a hundred years, the hidden dangers of evil trends have not been eliminated, and now there is no hope of ascension. When you and I have disappeared into nothingness, how will they protect themselves and guard the world?"

It was rare for Shen Zhexue to hear such a long speech from Yan Yuanhan.

The elder with white beard leaned on his stick and sighed: "Oh, that's right, I think the Immortal Court and the True Immortal held up the sky for us before the Great Formation of Fengxie was launched, and then they fell, and Xiangxianjun..."

He paused, then realized something was wrong, raised his eyes to look at Yan Yuanhan, saw that his expression was normal, and continued: "I was only seven or eight years old at that time, and I haven't forgotten the habit of pinning my head to the waistband of my trousers every day." I feel that their generation is still protected by heaven and can grow up peacefully."

Jiang Qianchui didn't fully experience the catastrophe in the cultivation world, so he said: "There is no need to be so pessimistic, we masters are still there, and we will teach them all we have learned, and they will support us in the future .”

Yan Yuanhan was noncommittal, looked at Shen Zhexue, "I heard that Elder Shen is going to retreat soon?"

Shen Zhexue was shocked immediately, knowing that he was reminding herself, and said: "Yes, the disciple has entered the secret realm, and I will retreat for half a month."

"Then trouble Elder Shen to save a few more sets of papers, and I will keep them for my disciples on the peak." A certain peak master hurriedly interjected, and Shen Zhexue naturally responded, and distributed the various exercise booklets of Taoist cultivation that had been prepared to everyone. Teacher present.

Jiang Qianchui said with a smile: "I'm determined, this revision paper is really addictive, after you leave the customs, how about we compile a few more sets together?"

Peach Spirit Secret Realm.

Shi Yuan stepped on the soft soil and slowly opened his eyes.

Into a dense forest, the trees in the forest can be as tall as the sky, covering a large area of ​​dark green.

The secret channel is sent randomly, and they come for collection again.Shi Yuan was lucky, and was directly sent to the place where spiritual plants were most abundant.

Take out the map from the spirit bracelet, the map only provides half of the road sign landscape of Taoling Secret Realm, and the other half is the blacked-out unknown.

Shi Yuan estimated the growth terrain of the required spiritual grass, drew the path in his mind to complete the task the fastest, put away the map, and walked to the depths of the forest.

Most of the medicine that Shen Zhexue asked Shi Yuan to pick had to be returned to Shi Yuan's body, not for the sake of more, but to use it wisely.

As for the ranking score, the master asked him to do his best, and he should use the secret realm to test the results of his previous practice.

The rarer spiritual plants are hidden more secretly, and they are often guarded by spiritual beasts. Shi Yuan hacked off a cave with a golden foot, and picked a pure white, almost transparent spiritual flower.

This flower is called "Ning Jun", and its medicinal effect is extremely simple, it only has one use, and that is to relieve pain.

Shi Yuan carefully put Ning Jun away, but he heard a series of footsteps coming from the direction of the cave entrance.

"Friend Shi, what a coincidence."

Yuan Xiyan held the long sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Just now a man fled with a face down, and almost jumped on me. I thought I had a fellow Taoist here, so it was you."

Shi Yuan smiled and said: "That Yong is timid, I just chased it away."

"It's said that yelling is a severe drought. That thing likes to spit fire, but I think it's too scared to even open its mouth. You're too modest."

He looked at the Lingzhi in his hand again, "That's Ning Junhua? The legend of Ning Junhua is very beautiful, and it has a wonderful effect on pain relief and concentration. Is fellow Taoist injured?"

Shi Yuan was still smiling, thinking that Yuan Xiyan was aloof and unreasonable in the academy, after fifteen days of class, he didn't say a few words except answering the teacher's questions.

Talking so eloquently to yourself, you can't just pick yourself to make friends.

"This flower is flawless and clean. I happened to see the description in a book, so I just picked it up and took a look." He asked cooperatively, "What legend does it have, can you tell me something?"

Yuan Xiyan said: "I don't dare to give advice, it's just that there is a bitter feeling in this Ningjun flower. The spirit flower loves mortal women. The woman is seriously ill and suffers from the pain of being cooked with oil every day. The spirit flower can't bear her early death. Thousands of years of cultivation can be exchanged for a whole body of medicinal properties, which can relieve pain and refresh the mind, and nourish the muscles and bones. The effect of taking it for women is really good, and marrying someone else will be beautiful for a lifetime."

"With this spiritual body, Xu Jun is at peace. This is the meaning of this flower name."

Shi Yuan put away Ning Junhua, and echoed, "Well, it's very touching."

Yuan Xiyan asked with a smile: "At that time, if this spiritual flower was taken by the beloved, but could not speak, would you be unwilling?"

"Why are you unwilling?" When Yuan walked out of the cave, Yuan Xiyan followed him, and he heard him say, "Since I want to, why are you unwilling? It's just that if the woman knows about this legend, she knows that she will die with the spirit flower. To continue, I don’t know how to feel.”

"You mean, you have to hide it more completely, so it's better not to let her know for the rest of your life?" Yuan Xiyan asked.

"It depends on what kind of person she is." Shi Yuan replied: "The spirit flower has never appeared, so it has no weight in her heart. Why bother to let her know about friendship, and if she knew about friendship earlier, how could there be such a story."

Yuan Xiyan was silent for a while, and said, "That's right."

"What kind of maneuver are you guys playing?" Qiao Tan asked sharply, and Qiao Tan stepped out from behind an ancient tree.

She carried a handful of spiritual herbs in her hand like onions, and looked back and forth at the two in front of her, "I've been squatting for a long time, if you don't move around, my legs will go numb!"

"Little aunt." Tuesday poked her head out of the grass, "Why don't you say hello in advance, you run fast, I can only graze in place."

Qiao Tan raised his chin to refute him: "I was afraid of disturbing their strikes, you react too slowly, blame me?"

Shi Yuan looked at Tuesday, and asked Qiao Tan again, "Why did you bring him in?"

Qiao Tan stuck out his tongue, "He needs to pick too many herbs, I can't remember, so I let him find it by himself."

The clothes on Tuesday are much neater than in Langfeng City, the clothes are clean, and the hair is smooth, but the beard on the face is not shaved, and the wooden stick is still pinned to the waist.

He laughed and said, "I'm just greedy for cheap, so just pretend I'm not there and keep going."

Shi Yuan used to think that Tuesday was weird. When the two met for the first time, he was like this, but sometimes people felt that he shouldn't be so down and out.

During the trip to Langfeng City, his sense of presence was extremely low, but he came out unharmed even with his uncultivated body, and later managed to avoid the people from Taiqingzong to cleanse his memory.

But being weird is weird, Shi Yuan didn't hate him, and he didn't have the heart to explore his past.

He guessed that this person had something to do with his life experience, but he couldn't ask anything, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"However, you still have the mind to tell stories. If you don't hurry up, the spirit grass will be harvested!" Qiao Tan stomped his feet, and danced a short sword in mid-air.

Shi Yuan glanced at Yuan Xiyan and said, "Yes, you have to hurry up."

The four continued to go deep into the forest.

With Qiao Tan leading the team, the speed was more than a little bit faster.

This forest is also strange, it gets brighter as you go deeper, and the sun shines through the treetops and casts a large patch of shadow.

"Is this a single tree forming a forest?" Qiao Tan looked up at the sky, "I don't know if there will be fairy grass and spirit flowers on the tree in the center?"

"It stands to reason there are." Yuan Xiyan split the vines blocking the way with his sword, and said: "It's almost here, be careful of strange beasts."

"...How did he become so talkative?" Qiao Tan muttered in a low voice, "He usually has a cold face, who is he scaring?"

"Hush—" Shi Yuan grabbed the vine beside him, made a quiet gesture, and mouthed: "Listen."

Three or two zither sounds sounded, ding ding dong dong, not a repertoire, like a minor tune that has been plucked casually, whistling with the mountain sounds, Lin Tao was like a tide, and it seemed to resound in the soul, Lin Guang warmed up, but the piano sound was refreshing.

The spirits of plants and trees move with the sound one after another, like fireflies in the daytime, floating and falling one after another, which is a very beautiful scene.

With a thought in Shi Yuan's mind, Yuan Xiyan pushed away the last few green vines with the tip of Yuan Xiyan's sword, and Qiao Tan exclaimed silently: "Ah, is that an old tree that has become a spirit?"

A single tree turned into a sea of ​​forest, and the intertwined ancient tree also had broad branches. On the nearly horizontal wooden branch, a person was sitting with his legs bent.

The man's black hair hung down, and the light spots leaked by the branches and leaves covered the wide sleeves of the blue clothes.

He was swinging the zither on his lap, his fingers were still hanging on the strings, and he was looking at them in bewilderment.

Shen Zhexue: Damn, why are there so many people...

With a force in Shi Yuan's hand, he broke the vine.

Shen Zhexue changed the piano into a hug and jumped down from the tree.

Seeing that he didn't seem hostile, Qiao Tan boldly approached him, and when she saw clearly that the dryad-like figure in front of her was wearing the Taiqing Sect's blue robe and crane pattern, she said in disbelief, "You are from the Taiqing Sect." , there are people like you in my sect, you can't be single!"

Her thoughts jumped too fast, Shen Zhexue reacted for a while, her ears turned red, she nodded slightly and said: "My name is Xue Sheng, and I am a nominal disciple of Elder Yan. I have grown up with you for 30 years. I have been recuperating on the peak before. It’s only natural that you haven’t seen me.”

The secret realm is not only open to new disciples, a few cultivators who need herbal spiritual plants can also enter, but they cannot compete with new disciples.

Qiao Tan was surprised: "Elder Yan still has a disciple like you, that's amazing, their peak accepts disciples based on face?"

Shen Zhexue secretly groaned, in order to match this identity, he made the Yi Rong Jue just as he did when he was a teenager, and borrowed a little bit of aura from plants and trees, but he never expected to become like this.

In another world, Shen Zhexue lived in an orphanage when she was a teenager. She had to study and work while taking care of the younger children in the yard. She had no time to care about her appearance.

But this girl's description was too exaggerated, Shen Zhexue hugged the kite tightly in her arms, and said, "I'm laughing."

Then he secretly glanced at Shiyuan, thinking that the apprentice will not recognize me now.

Shi Yuan stared blankly at the young man in front of him who was not even as high as his forehead, and felt that his blue clothes were about to melt into the bright spring sun.The long hanging hair was tied with a wooden hairpin, just falling to the waist, a few strands of fine temple hair were blown by the wind, and swept across the pointed chin.

The handsome young man was somewhat indistinguishable, holding a long kite tightly, with the aura of flowers and trees floating in his sleeves, it was no wonder that Qiao Tan recognized him as a tree spirit.

"Brother Shi Yuan, you look stupid!" Qiao Tan chuckled unceremoniously and said, "This is our senior brother!"

At this moment, Shi Yuan's earlobes were already bleeding red, so he took a big step back and said, "I was the one who was abrupt."

Seeing that he was so reserved, Shen Zhexue wanted to tease him a little bit, but she couldn't put it into action, so she could only get back to the point and said, "Where are the younger brothers and sisters going?"

Yuan Xiyan said: "I was interested in the Jun Jingshi in this forest, but I haven't found it yet."

Qiao Tan clapped his hands, "You said it earlier, there is a mind-concentrating grass growing beside the Junjing Stone, I want to pick this for my mother, why don't we go together, and when the time comes to defeat the beast, you and I will each get what we need? "

On Tuesday, Liangliang revealed the short answer: "Concentrating Heart Grass is cold in nature, and the guardian beasts are mostly snakes. Are you afraid?"

Qiao Tan immediately widened his eyes, "If you do this again, I will throw you out!"

Shen Zhexue saw how lively the two were going back and forth, and suddenly felt the cuffs tighten, as if being gently pulled.

He looked down, but there was nothing unusual.

But the feeling just now... He raised his head, and when he was a few steps away, Yuan turned his back to him, looking as usual, and was about to persuade him to fight.

A gust of wind rose from Qingping, rolled up the grass leaf spirit flower, slipped past someone's sleeve, and suddenly scattered again.

Shen Zhexue: ...Yeah?

The author has something to say:

Shi Yuan: ...want to wrap Master in a wind ball.

Shen Zhexue: ???
