Chapter 33: Master Qianfan
Su Ning agreed: "Okay." β
As soon as Su Ning walked out of the city gate, he flew straight to the towering mountain cliff. Su Ning searched for a long time in the place where she picked the white crisp matsutake mushroom last time, but she didn't find any large matsutake mushrooms, and here it was the same as when she came a few days ago, only some white crispy matsutake mushrooms the size of her little finger remained.
Su Ning did not give up looking on foot, and from time to time asked the birds she encountered, the terrain here was too high, and only birds could fly up.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and Su Ning found these white crispy matsutake mushrooms under a tree, but the number was very small, only five, and it was far from enough for the masters to eat.
Su Ning was thinking hard, and she suddenly felt that there was aura left on those matsutake mushrooms, no, it should be said that there was aura around here.
Su Ning immediately recited the Clear-Sighted Heart Mantra - Bai Ying had taught her to use it as soon as she felt an aura that was invisible to the naked eye.
After chanting the mantra, Su Ning was stunned by the scene in front of her, behind the five white crispy matsutake mushrooms, densely packed, all overgrown with white crispy matsutake mushrooms!
These matsutake mushrooms are innumerable, bunched and clumped, the largest one is actually bigger than a man's fist, and the smallest is the size of a big thumb. Su Ning was overjoyed, she looked at the large field of white crispy matsutake mushrooms, and she was so happy that she didn't know how to start.
Soon, Su Ning noticed that these matsutake mushrooms were originally covered by a magic barrier, which was half a human high, like a lid around the matsutake mushrooms, no wonder she couldn't find it before.
Su Ning stretched out her hand towards the magic barrier, and there was no pain when her hand touched it, it felt like a thin piece of porcelain. She tapped the back of her hand again, and a few small ripples rippled on the surface of the barrier, as if a breeze was blowing on the water.
Su Ning thought that this should have been set up by someone, but she didn't have a clue who it was.
If someone has set up a magic barrier, it proves that he does not want to be found in these matsutake mushrooms. Although matsutake mushrooms are wild, since someone has already discovered them first, the so-called first-come, first-served basis, there is no reason for oneself to take something that has an owner.
Su Ning put down the basket, she sat on the ground with her head broken, hugging her knees and looking at the unattainable matsutake mushroom. There are so many matsutake mushrooms that they are locked up in the magic barriers, and some of them have even shrunk and turned yellow, which is a pity to look at.
Su Ning pondered for a long time, and saw that it was about to rise in the middle of the day, and if she didn't go back, Mama Yue wouldn't have time to stir-fry. She scratched the back of her head in embarrassment and sighed again.
Su Ning gritted her teeth and said to herself: "No matter who you are, I apologize to you first, there are so many matsutake mushrooms here, I'll pick a little, it's enough for the masters to eat......"
Su Ning made up her mind, and she restored the silver bracelet on her wrist into a tiger tooth dagger. Su Ning tightened the handle of the knife with both hands, injected a stream of aura into the dagger, and then, stabbed down to the magic barrier with all his mightβ
There was a sound of gold and stone colliding, and the dagger chiseled through the magic barrier, and the magic barrier cracked inch by inch from the center of the breach to all sides, like a spider's web.
The tiger tooth dagger was really powerful, and the magic barrier was instantly covered with tiny cracks, and then shattered into powder with a thud. The powder shimmered, and instead of falling to the ground, it drifted away in the wind.
Su Ning's chest thumped, feeling that she had done something bad, and she muttered again, "I'm really sorry......"
Su Ning picked it up with her hand, and before she could pick it up, there was a sudden auspicious light in front of her, and then a fragrant wind came to her face. Su Ning looked up and watched in amazement as a man descended from the sky.
The visitor was dressed in a dark coat of ivory white vermilion, with a large belt around his waist and a scarf on his head. The man is about 18 years old, with a face like a crown of jade, a look better than Pan An, thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and a lofty demeanor.
He slowly fell in front of Su Ning's eyes, floating on top of those white crispy matsutake mushrooms.
Su Ning felt familiar, her heart was like a wheel, and she quickly remembered the identity of the other party. Su Ning hurriedly knelt down and made a mockery, and said:
"Disciple to see Master. β
The person who came was Yu Zhenzi's second apprentice - Qianfan. Su Ning actually didn't remember his appearance, but only deduced it, because this person couldn't be her senior brother of the same generation, that must be one of the seven disciples who entered the room, and with such a handsome appearance, there are only two apprentices of Yu Zhenzi, the eldest apprentice "Qianyi" accompanied Yu Zhenzi to the heavenly court to participate in the festival and did not return, so the one in front of him can only be the second apprentice Qianfan.
Qian Fan floated to Su Ning's side with his hands behind his back and fell. Su Ning was still kneeling on the ground, she was also a talented person, she had just broken the magic barrier, Qian Fan appeared, and the magic barrier might have been set up by Qian Fan.
Qian Fan said, "Please get up." β
"Yes......" Su Ning stood up uneasily, her head still hanging down. I thought that I had been stolen and captured, but now I had to confess my guilt obediently.
Su Ning lowered her head and waved at Qian Fan, and said ashamedly: "The disciple has destroyed the master's magic barrier, and the disciple knows his mistake ......."
Qian Fan was playing with a pair of mutton fat jade rings in his hand, he looked at the boxwood hairpin on Su Ning's bun, and asked:
"How did you break the barrier?"
Su Ning obediently confessed: "The disciple used a treasure weapon called 'Tiger Tooth Dagger' to break the magic barrier. β
"Tiger tooth dagger?" Qian Fan seemed to be very interested, and he said, "Take it out and show it to me." β
"Yes......" Su Ning turned the "crime tool" on her wrist back into a dagger, and presented it to Qianfan with both hands.
With a flick of Qian Fan's hand, the pair of Qiankun rings disappeared without a trace, turning back into two rings that were buckled together and put on his index finger. Qian Fan took the tiger tooth dagger, looked at it carefully, and lightly touched the tip of the knife with his fingertips, as if feeling its sharpness.
Su Ning never dared to look up at him, only listened to Qianfan muttering to himself:
"This is a treasure made of the teeth of the tusked tiger and black silver, which can cut through magic barriers, and the tusked tiger died tens of thousands of years ago...... Although this is a first-class treasure of the Ding rank, it is just a 'progressive' tempering type......"
Su Ning didn't understand much, she only knew that Qian Fan seemed to be very interested in her weapon. Qian Fan restored the tiger tooth dagger into a silver bracelet, and then into a dagger, and so on several times.
Qian Fan suddenly asked, "Where did you get this weapon?"
Su Ning replied: "Back to Master, this weapon was given by a friend of the disciple......"
"Your weapon is quite remarkable, and you actually broke the magic barrier set up by the senior brother. After Qian Fan finished speaking, he added: "But you are also very powerful, as a disciple of the Renshen level, you can actually find this place, and you can see through the magic barrier of the senior brother." β
It turned out that the magic barrier to protect the white crispy matsutake mushroom was set up by Qianyi, and Su Ning was shocked again. Although Qian Fan said something to praise her, she didn't care about fluttering, Su Ning bowed again, and said in a trembling voice:
"The disciple is guilty...... I hope that the master will condemn the crime. β
She was not afraid of being punished, she was afraid that she would implicate others because of her recklessness.
Qian Fan was a very kind person, and he smiled: "Don't be afraid, are you picking these matsutake mushrooms to take back to the city to eat?"
"Yes......" Su Ning replied with a single charge, "When the disciple saw that there were large pieces of white crispy matsutake here, he became greedy and wanted to pick them back and eat them." β
Qian Fan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, there are a lot of matsutake mushrooms here, and if you don't pick them, they will rot to death on the ground, but it's a pity, but don't move the biggest 'matsutake king', if the matsutake king is picked, the spores will never be released again, and you can't kill chickens and take eggs, those little apprentices before were indiscriminately picked, so that this kind of white crispy matsutake mushroom almost disappeared, and the senior brother had to seal the truffle king here, even if you come to pick it in the future, you have to pay attention, you know?"
"Yes, the disciple remembers the teachings. Su Ning looked at the fist-sized matsutake mushroom, presumably it was the king of matsutake mushrooms.
"What's your name?" asked Qianfan again.
Su Ning replied respectfully: "Back to Master, the disciple's surname is Yu, and his name is Su Ning." β
"Are you Yu Suning?" Qian Fan's tone was full of the meaning of "long admiration of the great name", he had learned from Qian Hui earlier that there was a little girl with a special aura among the new disciples, Qian Fan used the identification technique of the Datong Mountain School to check, and sure enough, Su Ning's aura was full of the color of the five elements.
Su Ning also knew how eye-catching she was when she first started, and everyone had high expectations for her, but she didn't perform as well as she wanted.
She whispered, "Yes......"
Qian Fan muttered again, "It's strange...... You only have first-class spiritual power, how can you break the magic barrier of the senior brother...... Although this magic barrier is only used to confuse small animals, it also has a lot of mana, and it stands to reason that it cannot be broken without a middle-level third-level cultivation or above......"
Su Ning was also suspicious after hearing this, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
As Qian Fan finished speaking, a soft male voice floated from him:
"This girl has a funny thing on her. β
When Su Ning heard this voice, she was bluffed like a ghost, this was not what Qian Fan said, but it floated out of him. The cold hairs on her back stood on end, forgetting her awe, and looked up in amazementβ
Qian Fan slowly took off a red copper convex gossip mirror tied around his waist, which was only the size of a palm, and the edges were carved with cloud algae patterns.
Qian Fan looked into the mirror and asked, "San Lang, what kind of interesting thing are you talking about?"
The surface of the mirror was originally foggy, but after Qian Fan finished speaking, the mirror surface rippled like a lake being thrown into stones, and gradually became clear, and it shone with colorful and changing light.
Su Ning listened in shock to Fang Cai's male voice coming from the mirror: "She wears it around her neck, you ask her." β
Qian Fan turned to Su Ning: "Su Ning, what are you wearing around your neck?"
Su Ning's beautiful eyes were still staring blankly at the talking mirror, and when she heard Qianfan ask her, she came back to her senses, and she took out the red rope around her neck, with her jasper flute hanging at the end.
Qian Fan looked at Su Ning with the mirror, and he asked the mirror again: "Is this it?"
Su Ning's appearance was reflected in the mirror, and the mirror replied: "Yes, this is called 'Lingxiao Jade Flute'." β
Su Ning was terrified again, this mirror not only could speak, but also knew the name of her flute?
Qianfan asked the mirror, "What's so special about this flute?"
The mirror said, "I don't know." β
"I don't know?" Qianfan raised his voice and asked incredulously, "What order is it?What is the material?What is it used for?"
The mirror replied playfully: "I only know that it is called Lingxiao Jade Flute, and I don't know anything else." β
