Chapter 12: Time Passes Away
Because the Cangmu Courtyard is vast and sparsely populated, the living conditions are naturally much better than those of the other courtyards, all of them are one person and one courtyard, at this point, although Lin Yuan is a newcomer, it is no exception, so no one notices that in the middle of the night, in the house, the lonely figure is circulating a faint spiritual power.
Although Lin Yuan is unguided, with his excellent qualifications, he has not taken any detours, but his daily practice is carried out late at night, and he has to go out to practice medicine during the day, which is really too tiring for this teenage child.
Fortunately, he was tough enough to never think of giving up, so he persevered day after day.
Year after year, three years and three years. Unconsciously, Lin Yuan was already sixteen years old, and compared to the immaturity of his childhood, he had already fallen off into a handsome young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes at this moment.
And in the past six years, Lin Yuan's daily schedule has almost been practicing medicine, collecting medicines, and cultivating at night, day by day, but over the years, because he has practiced alone, no one knows, as for the extent of cultivation, it is unknown.
However, it is worth mentioning that with the growth over the years, Lin Yuan found that his strength was getting bigger and bigger, and it was unusually big. A few months ago, he tried his sword moves with the third senior brother Xue Lihua, but unexpectedly forced Xue Lihua directly to carry the method, but unfortunately Rao was like this, but he couldn't withstand Lin Yuan's strength, and finally he was knocked to the ground with a punch, which can be described as "breaking ten thousand laws with one force!"
This incident spread for a while, making everyone in Cangmu Courtyard laugh for a full month, Xue Lihua felt that he couldn't hold his face, and he redoubled his hard practice in the future. As for Lin Yuan's infinite strength, everyone was also puzzled, and the most worried among them was Master Zhuang Xuanhuo himself. Until one day, Zhuang Xuanhuo summoned Lin Yuan to Baicaotang for a diagnosis, but he couldn't figure out why, only that this strength was greater, and it was not bad, so he didn't ask anymore.
As everyone knows, with Lin Yuan's growth, the Holy Demon Blood Crystal that was silent in his body was quietly changing his physique.
.......
This year, the great drought and famine, the counties and counties around Chiyangmen were scattered, and the government was unable to govern it, resulting in rampant bandits, and for a time starved bones and corpses were everywhere, exposed outside the dust, and it was a hot day, and the corpses were pregnant with plague and spread everywhere. The people were full of mourning and suffering.
As a healer, Lin Yuan traveled around the world when the disaster spread, and he was so busy that he rarely returned to Cangmu Courtyard during this period. Zhuang Xuanhuo was worried that his precious apprentice would encounter some bandits and thieves outside, so he wanted to send someone to accompany him to protect him, but among the disciples under his door, they were all practicing hard day and night for the "Four Courtyards Competition" a year later.
As a result, the task of taking care of Lin Yuan's safety fell to her.
The practice in the door is boring, and Sun Luanyue also yearns for the mundane world, so she readily agreed.
This companionship is half a year, in the past half a year, she has traveled around with Lin Yuan's medical practice, what she has seen and heard along the way, deeply touched her heart, and unconsciously, she can't help but admire her junior brother in her heart.
As for Lin Yuan, although Sun Luanyue can't help much, he is already satisfied with himself every day.
It wasn't until half a year later that the epidemic was under control, and when the two of them returned to Cangmu Courtyard, it was already a cold winter.
Zhuang Xuanhuo learned that his two apprentices were coming back, and he was so excited that he didn't close his eyes all night, and when he saw him return at noon the next day, he was actually a circle, and the excitement on his face was instantly replaced by an indescribable sourness and distress.
In the evening, in the kitchen, Xue Lihua rarely cooked a good dish, and among the people in Cangmu Courtyard, except for Ji Yang, who was still in retreat, the rest of the people gathered here.
When he returned to the courtyard after half a year, not only Zhuang Xuanhuo, but even the two brothers present missed him very much.
"Well, it's still delicious that the third senior brother cooks!"
Sun Luanyue ate happily, and as she spoke, the corners of her eyes moistened slightly. In the past six months, she and Lin Yuan have slept in the open every day, and they have really suffered a lot.
After the meal, the crowd did not disperse. Zhuang Xuanhuo asked about their experience in the past six months, only listening to the house, Sun Luanyue talked about how he subdued the bandits and rogues, and talked endlessly, while Lin Yuan talked about his practice of medicine in the past six months, although he has saved countless people, but there are also many people who have incurable diseases, he recorded all these symptoms in the medical book, and at this moment, he couldn't wait to ask Zhuang Xuanhuo for advice.
This chat, another hour or two. chatting and chatting, and somehow talking about Lin Yuan's defeat of Xue Lihua, I couldn't help but laugh again.
Xue Lihua couldn't be angry, his old face turned red, and he took out a faint spiritual sword from nowhere, and after showing it off, he smiled: "Hehe... Little junior brother, I lost carelessly last time, but now I don't understand the past, now that I have the spirit sword in my hand, I am confident that I will not lose to you again. ”
Lin Yuan was about to speak, but he saw Sun Luanyue's face surprised, as if he saw an old tree blooming, and asked, "Have you broken through the seventh-layer realm of qi refining?"
Xue Lihua nodded proudly and said, "That's natural, otherwise where would you be qualified to go to the 'Sword Shrine' to find this treasure!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but pull Lin Yuan out to compare.
Ge Qing really couldn't stand it, and hurriedly shouted: "Okay, okay, in the past, I used to bully the little junior brother with some Taoism, not to mention losing, but now I have to use the spirit sword to compare, you are not ashamed." After speaking, he didn't forget to give Xue Lihua a disdainful look.
Xue Lihua immediately made a look of grievance, and said: "Senior brother, you have wronged me, I have compared with the junior brother, not to mention anything else, just that strength, coupled with the Chiyang swordsmanship that the junior brother has practiced like fire, if you are looking for a weapon that you can take advantage of, in addition to not being able to control the sky, your strength is close to the first order of the Dao, and it is not a bully to compare with him." ”
Ge Qing sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but look at his master, as if to say: Master, you come to discipline this brazen guy.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xuanhuo sank his head a little and said, "Yes, Lihua reminded me." After speaking, he looked at Ge Qing and said seriously: "Second brother, you take the order to the Sword Spirit Pavilion tomorrow and get two mound cards." ”
Ge Qing rolled his eyes, and said with some embarrassment on his face: "Master, this ...... That's not right. ”
I saw Zhuang Xuanhuo's old eyes crossed, and said: "What's wrong, Ah Yuan is often outside, naturally he wants to get a weapon to defend himself, Yue'er has also made great progress in cultivation over the years, and it is a matter of time before he takes a sword." ”
Ge Qing had no choice but to sigh helplessly, he knew in his heart that over the years, the master had been guilty about forbidding Lin Yuan to practice the method, so among the disciples, he couldn't help but prefer Lin Yuan, but this sword mound is a holy place in the door, a place to collect spiritual soldiers and bury martyrs, if the disciples in the door want to go to get the sword, they must first burn incense and pray in the ancestral hall "Heroic Soul Hall" in the door, and then they can enter the mound to take the sword.
It's just that there is a lot of spirituality in this tomb, and if a person who can't reach the seventh level of qi refining or above enters it, he will be regarded as contemptuous of the heroic spirits of his ancestors, attacked by the sword group in the tomb, and die without a place to be buried.
And such a condition cannot be reached by Lin Yuan, who has concealed his cultivation.
But there are exceptions to everything, and the two mound cards that Zhuang Xuanhuo asked Ge Qing to take are also among these exceptions. Getting the mound card means getting the approval of the sword mound, and even if you are a mortal, you can enter and exit it.
It's just that since the establishment of Chiyang Gate, this case has never been opened, and Cangmu Courtyard has a low status in the door, if Zhuang Xuanhuo insists on doing so, let Ge Qing hold the order of the court and forcibly ask for the mound card with the head of the first courtyard, it will inevitably attract criticism.
Lin Yuan naturally knew these truths, although he was quite eager for spiritual weapons in his heart, but if he put the courtyard in a difficult situation for this, he was unwilling.
Lin Yuan shook his head and spoke: "Master, the disciple will go out to buy one in the future, but he can't break the rules in the door." ”
Zhuang Xuanhuo heard him say this, and said with a smile: "You have great strength, where can you find a weapon in the mortal world, and let you enter the sword mound, it can also be regarded as a teacher's heart, you can't refuse, as for whether you can find a good sword when you go in, it depends on your own fate." ”
"I..." Lin Yuan was about to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he patted Xue Lihua and said, "Okay, junior brother, since the master has said so, you don't have to be hypocritical anymore, I am saying, this time the little junior sister is also stained with your light, if you refuse again, she will be unhappy." ”
When Lin Yuan heard this, he had no choice but to respond silently, and he was very moved by the kindness of his master, but he just remembered his own cultivation, but he couldn't help but blame himself for a while.
And Sun Luanyue was beside her, and when she heard this, she was immediately a little unconvinced, made a grimace, and said unhappily: "Bah, bah, what are you talking about, senior brother, what is touching his light, do you think everyone is the same as you." After speaking, Niu coaxed Ge Qing to look at it, and said, "Second Senior Brother, tomorrow my mound card will be exempted, I don't want that thing, I can go in too." ”
"En!?" As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they all looked at Sun Luanyue with a look of disbelief. Only Xue Lihua Wan'er smiled and said: "Little junior sister, you won't be the same as Senior Brother and I, and you have also broken through to the seventh-layer realm of Qi Cultivation, you must know that your Senior Brother and I have spent more than twenty years before you ..... more."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Sun Luanyue's small mouth snort softly, and a majestic and powerful spiritual power directly emanated from her body, permeating the entire room.
Xue Lihua opened his mouth wide, as if he had been pumped a big mouth, and when the words came to his mouth, he could no longer say them.
Sun Luanyue gathered her breath, pouted at Xue Lihua, and said with a smug smile: "We are different, different!"
For a while, the kitchen room was noisy again, and it seemed that all the focus was on Sun Luanyue again, only Lin Yuan looked at a few people, but he didn't feel anything, because to release this level of aura, he was already able to do it three years ago.
