On that day, Bai Ze traveled alone through the mountains and forests, and traveled for two days, deliberately smearing mint juice on his body to cover up the breath on his body.

The three Wang brothers didn't catch up, he didn't know that they were all killed by the bull ghost, so he still went to chase Ouyang, anyway, no matter what, just be ready for battle at all times.

Even if he chases them, he really fights, and his waterfall sword may not lose to them.

Traveling all the way in this way, thirsty to drink mountain springs, hungry to eat hares, sleepy, just build a wooden bed on the century-old wood in the mountains and forests, and rest for a night. Xie Xuan marked the location of the elixir on the parchment scroll, Bai Ze was born with a strong sense of direction, and went to Hengshan where the spiritual root of the earth was located, and worked all the way, needless to say.

It is worth mentioning that on the night of two days ago, he meditated and cultivated, and finally broke through the fourth heaven of the sea of suffering.

"Cultivation has improved, and the power of the Xuanyu palm has also increased a lot!" Bai Ze remembered that day, a palm shattered a cold arrow, and he was especially excited, looking at his pitch-black right palm, smashing a mountain stone higher than him with one palm, and was amazed.

"This Xuanyu palm is really amazing! According to the peerless records on the wall, this palm has been cultivated to the extreme, and the color of the palm is as black as jade, and it can easily break the Xuan-level spiritual weapon!" Bai Ze said in his heart, "If it is the level of the half-step Sword Immortal King, presumably the ground-level spiritual weapon can also resist with one palm." Now my cultivation is too low, I have just learned, and I can already threaten the lives of the monks on the other side, if I cross the sea of suffering to the other shore and go down with one palm, I am afraid that the master of Zhiwei will also be uncomfortable. ”

The terrain of Hengshan is special, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the sun is abundant. The earth spirit root is suitable for growing in this environment, in summer it is grass, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to grow freely, and in winter it is an insect, dormant underground, not dead or withering, and still growing.

The medicine pickers in Dushan call the earth spirit root "Cordyceps", which has the wonderful use of expanding people's meridians and warming the soul.

The pill that Xie Xuan wanted to refine, Bai Ze didn't know very well. He has been with Xie Xuan for more than ten years in terms of alchemy knowledge, but he has never heard Xie Xuan mention it.

However, judging from the elixir Xie Xuan was looking for, most of the elixir he wanted to refine was related to his more than two years of breaking through the sea realm, and it was likely to be the elixir for washing the marrow and cutting the scriptures.

"It's finally here. Bai Ze looked at the reckless mountains in front of him, the beautiful trees were overcast, even if the late autumn was approaching, he was also lush and vibrant, and sighed at the magical power of nature.

This season is the time when the earth spirit root transforms from grass to insect, and it is the time when its medicinal properties are the strongest and the best to find.

Because at this time, the Earth Spirit Root will take on a different kind of maroon red, which is incompatible with the surrounding green color.

Before entering the mountain, Bai Ze found a small river at the bottom of the mountain, and where the river bends, a one-person deep pool has been formed. After many days of traveling, he once again lamented the importance of having a riding spirit animal, took off his clothes, jumped into the pool, and happily washed away the mud.

"Comfortable!" After taking a bath, Bai Ze cleaned up, erected a black hair, inserted a wooden hairpin, and the river reflected a handsome young man, his eyebrows and eyes were like a galaxy, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was a dashing swordsman!

Catch a few river fish, roast them with the only remaining salt and season them, fill your stomach, and the sun is already in the west.

"It's time to go into the mountains. Bai Ze pressed his sword, his eyes were a little solemn.

The parchment scroll painted by Xie Xuan records that the spiritual root of this place is the cherished delicacy of many spirit beasts, so this time when he went into the mountains to collect medicine, it is very likely that he will encounter spirit beasts.

If you meet a docile one, it's okay, but I'm afraid that I'm afraid of encountering a cat bear marked red by Xie Xuan on the parchment roll.

This herbivorous spirit beast has an extremely strong sense of territory. Ordinary spirit beasts, if someone violates the territory, may just come out and grin and roar twice, scaring and scaring things.

But this cat bear, that's really brainless, if he doesn't chase you out for ten or twenty miles, he will never give up easily!

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Bai Ze strode into the mountain and stepped on the lantern grass on the ground, "I hope this trip is smooth." ”

At the same time, Heyang City Boundary, Machi Town, Liuzhuang.

In the afternoon, the autumn breeze is cool. Chen Yuanfang was still chopping firewood in the back mountain, and Liu Ling had nothing to do, pondering the chess game left by Xie Xuan under the locust tree, while thinking about the sword in Pingsonggang that day when Xie Xuan was talking and laughing.

"The sword kills, the middle sword gathers energy, the sword condenses, and the sword is idealistic. Liu Ling held the sunspot in his hand and knocked on the chessboard on the stone table unhurriedly, "A sword and a thousand willows are the gathering qi that I am currently trapped in, which is the middle sword that Daozun said." ”

Ten years ago, the sword that the nameless swordsman realized under the tree was the upper sword, condensing the sword intent that turned into a thousand.

And on that day, Daozun flicked his sleeves and swung a sword of willow, was it a sword or a sword?

"Grandpa Liu Ling, what are you thinking?" Eight-year-old Xiao Caiyun curiously lay on the fence of the village chief's yard, looking at Liu Ling, who was dressed in emerald green, "Brother Yuan Fang goes into the mountains every day to chop wood, Bai Ze leaves without saying hello, no one plays with me, I'm so bored." ”

"Xiao Caiyun, if you are bored, why don't I teach you a kung fu of breathing and breathing, you have time, how about spreading two green onion cakes for me to eat every three or five times?"

"Hey, old fairy!?" Caiyun saw the person clearly, startled, stretched his neck to see if there was anyone behind Xie Xuan, didn't find Bai Ze, and pouted his pink mouth a little lost, and said, "Didn't Bai Ze come back with you?"

"He's going to do something for me, and I don't think he'll be back until it's snowing. Xie Xuan took the wine gourd, took a sip of the green ant wine from the Fulai Tavern in Machi Town, and said, "How is it, do you want to learn?"

"What's so good about breathing?" the little girl asked, tilting her head, and the pigtails were moving and cute.

"If you learn well, you can ride the clouds. Xie Xuan said, "How?"

"Sounds fun!" Caiyun clapped her hands and wrinkled her nose again, "But I have to ask my mother first." If she agrees, I'll learn from you!"

"Then go ahead and ask. Xie Xuan walked under the locust tree, and Liu Ling had already stood up and personally added a cup of bitter tea to Xie Xuan.

"Daozun. Liu Ling asked, "Where have you been these days?"

"Go to Heyang City and meet an old friend. Xie Xuan sat down, "I asked him to help me find a good Danding, and I was single-handedly refined, and I refined a furnace of Jindan for him, which delayed for a while." ”

"About 20 days ago, the willow sword that Xiaoyou and I were holding broke the sense. Liu Ling hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "I think, isn't Xiaoyou in trouble? ”

"If it's broken, it's broken. Xie Xuanman didn't care, "It's a willow sword, it's just easy to break, why worry?"

"It's just ......" Liu Ling wanted to say something, but Xie Xuan's expression was indifferent, thinking that he was not worried as Bai Ze's master, what did he have to worry about?

So I also put my mind at ease.

"Old fairy!" Caiyun clicked open the firewood door, ran in, and said, "My mother said that you can learn!"

"Well, your mother has a vision. Xie Xuan beckoned, and Caiyun ran over obediently, "Come, let me think about it, what to teach you...... Hmm, how about "Nine Days of Phoenix Dance"?"

......

The road into the mountain to collect medicine was not easy to walk, and not long after Bai Ze entered Hengshan, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.

The innate Dao fetal physique is in line with the Heavenly Dao, and there are many wonders about the induction of everything. Bai Ze has had a keen sense since he was a child and rarely makes mistakes.

But the strange thing is that no matter how suspicious he is, the owner of the eyes in the dark does not seem to exist, and he can never find the figure of "that person".

"I wish I had been overly distracted. Bai Ze felt uneasy, and wanted to pick the earth spirit root as soon as possible and leave this place quickly.

But Hengshan is reckless, but the earth spirit root is only as long as his two fingers, and it is not easy to find.

After going around in the mountains for a long time, Bai Ze found nothing. At night, Bai Ze sighed, beat a hare, roasted it, and the aroma spread far away.

The river at the foot of the mountain meanders, and the lantern plants growing on the riverbank slowly emit a charming fluorescence at night, like the hazy stars in the sky, and like a fairy playing lanterns by the river, singing leisurely.

Bai Ze really heard the ethereal singing, like the fragrance of the breeze and lotus pond.

"The beautiful scenery of a good day is wonderful!" Bai Ze on a whim, where to care about the spiritual roots, and went straight to the bottom of the mountain, "There is no beautiful woman and fine wine, otherwise I will also write a poem!"

The mountains and rivers reflect the stars, and the fluorescence emitted by the lantern plants on both sides of the river is set off against each other, like a fairyland. The further down the hill became, the clearer the singing became.

At first, Bai Ze only thought it was his own auditory hallucination, but gradually, he was also intoxicated by the graceful singing, and couldn't help but want to praise the festival.

"Who is singing in this deserted mountain?" Bai Ze was also bold, looking for a faint singing voice and walked over.

The river is babbling and meandering. The lantern plants all over the ground illuminate the river like a dream.

"If anyone is in the mountains,

was taken by the scorpion.

Both smiling and smiling,

Zi Muyu is good and slender. ”

An ethereal voice swept through time and space, and Bai Ze stepped on the lantern grass and came to the vicinity of the waterhole where he had bathed earlier. It was here that the song came, and he walked through the grass and looked curiously at the waterhole of the bend.

It's as if time has stopped, time has been turned upside down.

Bai Ze forgot to breathe.

Under the hazy moonlight, the waterhole sparkled, and the fluorescence of the lantern plants depicted the shadows in the water like a fairy in a painting.

Surrounded by vibrant green and full of vitality, she was dressed in goose yellow, shaped like an autumn leaf dress, and her head was wet with green silk by the river, spreading on her smooth back like jade, which made people fascinated at a glance.

Dressed in a lily, with a female dill wrapped around her waist. His eyes are like water, and he smiles smartly. Bai Ze heard the mysterious woman's gentle singing suddenly stopped, and the sound of the water was loud, he stood up in the shallow part of the pool, turned around, and looked at Bai Ze.

"You're not afraid of me?" she asked.

If Mu Qingling is already a girl next door, she can be regarded as beautiful. Then the person in front of him must be the best in the world.

Bai Ze looked at the mysterious woman's pale green eyes, her complexion was better than snow, her lips were like roses, and she was a fallen fairy!

"Why should I be afraid of you?" Bai Ze asked in a daze.

"Can't you see it?" she wrapped her slender jade fingers around her green hair, raising her eyes, as if trying to see through Bai Ze's heart, "I am very different from your appearance, I ...... Not people. ”
