Duan Xiao thought that Xuanyuan Shuang was worried that the matter of planting Buddha would be stabbed to the cabinet, and then he broke the jar and broke the matter of the forbidden land in the back mountain.

"That's not what I meant!" Xuanyuan retorted subconsciously.

"Okay, okay, I know you can't bear me, don't worry, my master's life is big. ”

Leaving the quiet room, Duan Xiao followed the red clothes and stepped on the snow and continued to walk higher on the mountain road.

"Hey, how come your parents live so far away?" Duan Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"The elder likes to be quiet, so he doesn't live with us, and if you walk one mile further, the southwest direction is Elder Lingji's residence. ”

"Be careful then, the elder has a bad temper, don't go against her. "Red clothes are like an old mother.

"Don't worry!"

No matter how much red clothes there is, there is nothing to explain, Elder Lingji has not been on the mountain for a long time, except for the people who serve and live around him, the one who sees the most is Senior Sister Xuanyuan, and even the red clothes rarely see Elder Lingji.

It's been a long way to keep going.

A small courtyard with exquisite decoration finally appeared in front of me.

Hongyi stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched the situation inside, and stopped.

"Duan Xiao, I'll send you here. Whether or not you can get the approval of the elders depends on your ability. ”

"Thanks. Duan Xiao nodded to indicate that he knew.

The red clothes quickly left, and Duan Xiao got angry, and gently pushed away the railing woven with thorn vines in one breath.

Through the furnishings in the courtyard, Duan Xiao could tell that this Lingji Elder was a vassal and elegant character.

Every plant and tree in the yard has been carefully cared for. Stone tables, stone chairs, railings, beams and columns did not even have a trace of dust everywhere they went.

It's not like a place to live, and there's no human touch at all.

Duan Xiao watched the four roads and listened to all directions, and the whole courtyard seemed very quiet, and he didn't even see half a figure.

Follow the gravel path all the way forward.

Duan Xiao finally heard the sound of human breathing, and almost thought that he had gone to the wrong place.

"Are you Miss Frost's new medicine boy?" the woman who spoke was dressed in a gray winter coat, without any bells and whistles, and looked like she was fifty or sixty years old, perhaps even older.

The voice has a unique majesty, and calmness.

Through breathing, Duan Xiao couldn't judge this person's strength, it was like a deep ancient well, unfathomable.

At this moment, she was standing at the door pruning the wax plum branches.

Looking at the dress, it should be an old man who serves Elder Lingji's daily life, and Elder Lingji's confidant.

"Yes, Senpai. Duan Xiao bowed respectfully.

Don't look at it as just a cultivator, the strength is also unfathomable, if you really start to do it, Duan Xiao estimates that it is enough to touch himself.

This realization gave him a deeper understanding of the strength of Buddhism, and he was shocked in his heart.

It's no wonder that before leaving, the master told him a thousand times that he must not expose the secret of the Buddha's bones before finding Elder Xuanyuan Xin.

Facing the old man's scrutiny, in order to prevent suspicion, Duan Xiao deliberately adjusted his breathing rate and pretended to be an ordinary person.

"Elder Lingji is waiting for you in the backyard. ”

"Thank you seniors for showing the way. Duan Xiao made another big salute.

A mouthful of seniors, but they are quite polite. If it's just like this, if you don't have any real skills, you are not qualified to become Miss Frost's medicine boy.

"Let's go inside!"

The whole courtyard was not particularly large, and Duan Xiao walked through the corridor and came to the backyard.

The backyard is not big, except for planting some herbs, this Lingji Elder actually has the same hobby as his master, and likes to raise some chickens, ducks, geese and other domestic animals.

Is this a unique custom and tradition of Buddhism?

At this moment, not far away, there was an old woman with white hair standing in the direction with her back to Duan Xiao.

This should be Elder Lingji.

"You're the medicine man Shuang'er just found?" Obviously, although the distance between the two was not too close, Elder Lingji could hear that there was one more person in the courtyard.

Breathing and footsteps are all unfamiliar frequencies, and you don't have to think about it to know that the person she was waiting for is coming.

"I've seen Elder Lingji! I'm Duan Xiao. Although Elder Lingji was holding a food box made of pear blossom wood in his hand at the moment, he bent over with his back to Duan Xiao and was engrossed in feeding the chickens there.

But Duan Xiao still made a big bow respectfully, you must know that except for the time when he apprenticed, Duan Xiao had never made such a big salute with his master!

"I don't care what your name is. "How could a character like Elder Lingji care about the name of a little medicine boy.

To be honest, even the former medicine boy who had been by Xuanyuan Shuang's side for several years, Elder Lingji only remembered one nickname.

Duan Xiao: "......".

Hurt self-esteem.

Why is this little old lady so angry?

Could it be that feeding chickens is for self-cultivation?

"I'll only ask you one thing, what did you do in the depths of the Misty Forest, and why did you get that wound back?"

finally asked the right question, Duan Xiao had long known that the old lady would ask such a question.

I've already thought of a set of rhetoric in my mind.

"Greedy for money!"

"What? greed for money! This reason is new. Elder Lingji obviously didn't expect this answer, and when he turned his head, he finally became interested in Duan Xiao.

"Greedy for money and lustful, human instinct! I just followed the will of my heart, I heard that there are priceless treasures in the depths of the Misty Forest, and the guide said that what we get with our ability in the Misty Forest belongs to us and does not need to be handed over!" Duan Xiao remembered that Senior Brother Huang had said this before.

"Do you know how to write the four words "self-immeasurable?" Elder Lingji sneered, and put the food box in his hand heavily on the stone table.

Although Duan Xiao lowered his head, he could also feel two blazing eyes staring at him like a man's back.

"Duan Xiao has just arrived, and those who don't know are fearless. Duan Xiao felt a little unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but repeat his name.

"What did you encounter in the Misty Forest?

Duan Xiao didn't know, he only knew that he got lost in the depths of the misty forest and had a big dream. ”

"Really?" Elder Lingji stared at Duan Xiao's face with sharp eyes.

Let the wind blow from east to west, north and south, and I will not move. Duan Xiao's psychological quality was quite strong, and in the face of Elder Lingji's scrutinizing gaze, there was not a single panic on his face.

Elder Lingji frowned slightly, this is that others would have panicked a long time ago.

Is this guy really calm, or is the city too deep?

"After all, it's Shuang'er's new medicine boy, how can you work if your injuries haven't been good, how is your health now?"

"It's almost good!"

"I heard that Hongyi said that when you first went to Lingji Mountain, you only had one breath left, and it's only been three days!! it's almost fine," Elder Lingji's tone couldn't make out the emotion.

But Duan Xiao felt a "whoosh", and his back was full of cold sweat.

This little old lady was just digging a hole for him?

Yes, in just three days, it is impossible for a normal person to wake up so quickly, let alone appear here alive.

Mistaken!

The more this time, the more you can't panic, your face is calm, but your inner world is already in chaos.

"It didn't hurt the muscles and bones, but it was just a coma caused by excessive blood loss, which looked a little scary. After three days of careful care, I was able to walk normally. Duan Xiao said.

There was nothing to see from his face, but Elder Lingji didn't believe Duan Xiao's words so easily.

"Stretch out your hand, I'll take the pulse for you!"

“……”。

Duan Xiao slowly stretched out his left hand.

With Elder Lingji's ability, as long as he touched his pulse, he could discover the Buddha bones hidden in his body and the fact that he had already been planted as a Buddha.

But if he chooses to turn around and flee now, with his kung fu, I'm afraid that he will already die at the hands of Elder Lingji before he leaves this courtyard.

To say not to be nervous, that is false.

Duan Xiao's back was covered with cold sweat, hiding the tension in his eyes and forcing himself to calm down.

Elder Lingji's hand stopped the moment before it was about to catch Duan Xiao's wrist.

The brows are furrowed together, almost killing flies.

"How did you get it?!"

Thanks to Duan Xiao, he carefully observed the details of the front yard before he came.

There was not a single leaf on the ground, and there was not a speck of dust on the table.

Duan Xiao guessed that this Lingji Elder should be an old man with a serious cleanliness habit.

So before going into the backyard, he deliberately fell hard and soiled himself.

The palm of his left hand, which was pierced by Qi Han, had almost healed, and was also deliberately injured by Duan Xiao.

His hands were covered with dirty, half-coagulated blood, and wet dust on the ground.

In case Elder Lingji refused to believe his words and insisted on touching his pulse, he might be able to block it.

Sure enough, Elder Lingji finally frowned and retracted his hand.

Bet right!

"Back to ...... Elder Hui, I fell when I came......" Duan Xiao said embarrassedly.

"What a piece of rubbish!"

Duan Xiao lowered his head in shame, but secretly rejoiced in his heart:

As long as you can save your life, waste is waste.

Elder Lingji finally gave up the idea of checking Duan Xiao's pulse.

"But it's not that simple to become a medicine boy for Frost!"

Elder Lingji looked at Duan Xiao's eyes, full of disgust, and made no secret of it.

There are many people who want to be a medicine boy for her apprentice, but her precious apprentice chose a medicine man who has just come to Fengmen.

Elder Lingji wanted to see what this guy had that could impress her apprentice.

"See that herb? It is a very valuable and rare poisonous weed. The blades are sharp, and once cut, the toxin will enter the human body along the bloodstream, and the poison will die in less than half an hour. ”

Duan Xiao followed Elder Lingji's gaze, and in the southeast corner of the courtyard, a large piece of herbs was indeed planted.

And it is very densely cultivated, and the leaves of the herbs are jagged and very sharp.

"Watsubu has a lot of gray-brown bugs attached to this herb, and what I want you to do is get rid of all of them before sunset. If you can do that, I'll admit that you're my medicine boy. If you can't do it, roll me off Lingji Mountain. ”
