The eighth (below) Tianshan Mountain, the old Taoist priest stands on the mound, and the little fox in the waterfall valley says goodbye

"Don't you know that this lady has already opened her mind?" Yang Qiling asked in astonishment.

"Ma'am, Kailing, what kind of spirit?" Shi Nianyuan stretched out his hand to lift the little fox's neck, and brought it to his eyes to meet his round eyes.

"No wonder she calls you a bastard...... Yang Qiling said with a suffocation: "Even if you are her master, it is too rude to treat a lady like this." ”

Shi Nianyuan put the little fox back on his shoulder, kneaded the little fox's head without gentleness, and then rubbed it on the little fox's plush ears.

Yang Qiling said dumbly: "Most of the demon beasts do not have innate spiritual intelligence, but they will instinctively absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and in the bloodline of high-level demon beasts, there is a profound method of breathing, and the demon beasts absorb enough spiritual power of heaven and earth, and under the nourishment of spiritual power, if they are favored by heaven and earth, they can open spiritual wisdom and spiritual consciousness at the same time, and become a spirit animal, which is called opening the spirit." It is similar to the Terran Rotation and Enlightenment, but it is much more difficult for the Demon Beast to open the Soul than the Terran Rotation Enlightenment. ”

Yang Qiling looked at Shi Nianyuan and said embarrassedly: "For fox clan spirit beasts, ears and tails are extremely sensitive body parts, you ...... I really don't respect ......."

The little fox nodded decently.

Shi Nianyuan has suffered many reshaping of the three views recently, and he already has a good resistance, and when he heard Yang Qiling's description of the demon beast spirit beast, he remembered the crane on the Washing Crane Peak that was called a crane feather by Xuanya.

Listening to Yang Qiling's words about the fox spirit beast, Shi Nianyuan deliberately grabbed the little fox's plush tail and lifted it upside down, and the little fox struggled and screamed.

"Respect? This stupid dog is embarrassed to call me a bastard? Lao Tzu bleed for this stupid dog for more than half a month, is it easy?" Shi Nianyuan once again brought the little fox in front of him and muttered: "It turns out that he is not familiar with human nature, but really has spiritual intelligence." No wonder he hugged the wind and frost along the way, and Nalan Zuochen couldn't hold ......"

The little fox struggled, the little paws waved wantonly, but Shi Nianyuan pinched the distance to death, and the little fox's little paws scratched up and down a few inches in front of Shi Nianyuan's nose, but he couldn't scratch anything.

After hearing Yang Qiling say that the little fox had already opened the spirit, the flowing wind and snow suddenly felt that Shi Nianyuan was indeed a little too bullying to the little fox, and quietly stretched out his hand from the side, pushing Shi Nianyuan's head forward, wanting to help the little fox, the clinker Shi Nianyuan's head did move forward, but the little fox reacted extremely quickly and withdrew the sharp claws, and did not scratch Shi Nianyuan.

Shi Nianyuan squinted at Liufeng Xue and said: "Everything has a spirit, do you know?" My dog, I can bully, others can't bully, I'm good to it, it's good to me, will it bear to hurt me?"

Liufeng Shuang watched Shi Nianyuan play with the little fox, covered his mouth and chuckled, and then suddenly thought of something, and asked out loud: "Young Master Yang, Shuang'er wanted to ask in the morning, about the demon beast spirit beast, Shuang'er has heard of it, and it is said that after the spirit beast cultivates to a high and profound realm, it can speak human words and even turn into a human form." It's just that why can you understand what the spirit beasts mean before they can speak?"

Yang Qiling introduced himself again: "In Xia Yang Qiling, from the 100,000 mountains of the Southern Wilderness, martial arts refining the Yang family. ”

Shi Nianyuan and the flowing wind and snow were as unclear as before the wind and frost, but Mu Zitao took out a book from the basket, turned one of the pages and said: "There are countless strange people and strange people in the 100,000 mountains of the Southern Wilderness, and all kinds of rare thaumaturgy methods emerge in endlessly, among which witchcraft is the most famous, but in fact, in the territory of the Southern Wilderness, there is a saying that there are eight stunts in the Southern Wilderness, witchcraft is only one of them, ranking fourth, ranking before witchcraft, it is the first vein of martial arts, beast control technique. ”

"Yes! Mu Zitao. Shi Nianyuan was impressed, and Mu Zitao's cheeks turned red and continued: "It's all written in the book, the martial arts who are responsible for the beast control thaumaturgy, and the martial arts people who inherit the beast control stunt have an ability called 'Zhuyu', and they can talk to demon beasts and spirit beasts. ”

"So it's not scientific, what is the principle?" Shi Nianyuan asked curiously.

"Are you a pig? It's all about stunts, abilities, and you still ask. Flowing wind and snow white eyes said.

"Actually, it's nothing, the so-called 'Zhuyu' is just a rumor from the outside world. Because of the wide variety of demon clans, in addition to the beast language of their own species, there is also a unified language of the demon clan, the demon language is a family of its own, which is completely different from the natural logic language of the human race, and it is to transmit the information you want to express by oscillating the demon element to generate fluctuations, and the martial arts are just to master the unified language of the demon clan. ”

Information is transmitted through shock waves...... Is it a mechanical language like radio......

Shi Nianyuan's mind turned.

"What is Demon Yuan?" Shi Nianyuan asked as he thought.

"The demon yuan is also spiritual power, the unique spiritual power of the demon clan. When the Terran Immortal Dao monk cultivates to the Ning Yuan Realm, he will condense the Yuan Dan in the dantian, and the demon clan is born with a similar demon pill, and the spiritual power is transformed through the demon pill, and it will produce a homologous and isomorphic change with the spiritual power of heaven and earth in the form, called the demon element, and the demon yuan overflows out of the body, which is the so-called demon qi of the monk, in fact, it is essentially the same thing as the so-called spiritual pressure of the human race. Yang Qiling replied.

Everyone chatted and walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Qianlong Peak.

Yang Qiling walked at the front of the team: "The Lieyang Academy is more special among the six holy places of the Immortal Dao, unlike the rest of the holy lands that are not allowed to defect once they enter, the students recruited by the Lieyang Envoy only have three semesters in the Lieyang Academy, and after the three-year period expires, the Lieyang Academy will not force the students to stay in the Holy Land, and they can choose to become the disciples of the Lieyang Guanmen to continue to seek the Tao, or they can choose to leave on their own." Well...... What are the numbers on your token?"

"Seventy-two-three to seventy-two-six. Shi Nianyuan had already memorized the numbers when the four of them received the Burning Sun Order.

Yang Qiling nodded and said, "It seems that this class of students is about to arrive." ”

In front of everyone is a wide valley, on both sides of the valley, there are two magnificent mountain cliffs that stretch for thousands of miles like a mirror image, the cliff is divided into three layers in the form of steps, each layer is a white marble walkway with the style characteristics of the foothills of the Lieyang Mountain, there is a white jade door every other zhang distance on the walkway, there is a ladder every ten zhang to connect the upper and lower layers, and every thirty zhang, there will be a white jade arch bridge between the second layer of the two cliffs to connect the two cliffs.

Walking in the valley, you can see groups of students in scorching sun uniforms from time to time.

"The scorching sun makes singular numbers live on the left, and even numbers live on the right. The further back the number, the deeper it lives in the valley. However, this is only temporary, it is said that after the Sun Trial, those who pass will move to Yuelong Peak. Yang Qiling nodded and said hello to a few passing students, they should know each other.

Shi Nianyuan looked at the scorching sun order in his hand, handed it over to Liufeng Shuang and said, "Second Miss, Mu Zitao and I are single and double with each other, let's change it, you and the eldest lady can live on the same side, so that it is convenient to take care of it." ”

"No!" Liu Fengxue heard Shi Nianyuan's words and stopped him.

Shi Nianyuan looked at Liufengxue in a daze, Liufengxue's face turned red, and then muttered: "Shuang'er is no longer a little girl, she can take care of herself, I promised Madame to cover you, so naturally I want to live next door to you." ”

Mu Zitao explained solemnly: "Miss, you look at the numbers engraved on the white jade door, the left one, three, five are the first column, seven, nine, and eleven are the second columns, the right's two, four, and six are the first columns, and the six, ten, and twelve are the second columns. ”

Shi Nianyuan calculated the most basic equation of the difference sequence in his mind, and added: "Seventy-two-three, seven-two-four are in the second layer, and seventy-two-five and seventy-two-six are in the third layer. ”

Flowing Wind and Snow raised his fingers as if he was counting, but in fact, his brain was full of mush: "That...... So how do you live now......

Mu Zitao replied: "Shi Gongzi is holding 723, and 724 is in the lower hand, the eldest lady is holding 725, and the second lady is holding 726, and the eldest lady and the second miss live in the downstairs of Shi Gongzi and Zai respectively. ”

"That'...... Isn't that just right?

Yang Qiling looked at Shi Nianyuan and Liufeng Shuang with deep meaning in his eyes, as if he knew something.

"Miss......" Yang Qiling learned to call Liu Fengxue by everyone and said: "Actually, because I arrived this morning, the Burning Sun Order in my hand happened to be 717. Yang Qiling said as he took out the Burning Sun Order from his pocket and held it in his hand.

"What's the matter with the Sekimoto woman?" muttered the eldest lady, who was really not good at arithmetic.

Mu Zitao coughed lightly and said, "Miss, Qi Yiqi happens to live next door to Shi Gongzi......"

Liu Fengxue snatched the Burning Sun Order from Yang Qiling's hand, and then handed over his own.

......

When night fell, everyone finally settled down, at the foot of the scorching sun, the Xuandu candle on the canopy of the sky was even more huge, as if within reach, under the moonlight, the night was not dark.

It is clearly autumn, there is still a sky flowing in the waterfall valley, the translucent colorful spirit waterfall under the moonlight is full of fantasy mist on the lake surface, and there are many spirit grasses on the ground, which emit a faint glow at night.

Shi Nianyuan and Yang Qiling sat side by side on the lawn of Waterfall Valley.

"I haven't been involved in the Immortal Dao before, and I don't know a lot of Immortal Dao common sense. On the Rainy Continent, what is the attitude of the human race towards the demon race?" Shi Nianyuan asked.

Yang Qiling was still chewing the grass roots with a spiritual grass in his mouth, lying on his back on the lawn and replied: "It depends on who it is, there are many living beings in the Rain-Covered Continent, and the individual differences of the human race are the largest, and the hearts of the people are the most difficult to figure out. ”

Shi Nianyuan poked and teased the little fox in his arms: "What's going on with those tones such as the different paths of the shemale and the cannibal of the demon clan?"

Yang Qiling said dumbly: "You are a scholar of Jiangnan Prefecture of the Minglei Empire, have you read too much of this story?" Yang Qiling spit out the grass roots that had been chewed tasteless, ripped off one on the lawn and put it in his mouth and continued: "It's almost the same as people eating demons." Ordinary demon beasts can only be counted as demon clans if they become spirit beasts, and the demon clan generally lives in seclusion, which is extremely rare, and the demon pill is a great supplement that can improve the cultivation for martial monks, so there are many martial arts monks, specializing in hunting demon clans and grabbing demon pills. ”

"According to what you say, the demon clan should hate the human race very much?" Shi Nianyuan learned from Yang Qiling to tear off a piece of spirit grass and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Xihefeng, you know, right?" Yang Qiling asked without answering.

"Yes. Shi Nianyuan nodded.

"The spirit beast crane on the Washing Crane Peak, in fact, is also a demon clan of demon beasts, several generations of masters at the foot of the Lieyang Mountain have their own demon spirit pets, so they love the demon clan, and they are extremely disgusted with the behavior of hunting the demon clan. As the holy land of immortal inheritance in the territory of the Minglei Empire, the disciples of the Lieyang Mountain Foothills are all over Kyushu, deterring those small sects and wandering cultivators, so in the territory of the Minglei Empire, it is relatively rare for monks to hunt spirit beasts, which is also the reason why I came from the Southern Wilderness to the Lieyang Mountain Foothills to seek the Tao, instead of going to the Southern Wilderness to ask the sword mound. ”

"I thought that the demons were not separated, and they would kill the red eyes when they met......" Shi Nianyuan's thoughts flew, and he didn't know what the past had been.

"According to the priest in the clan, it was indeed like this before, but in the past thousand years, due to the intervention of the foothills of the Burning Sun Mountain, the attitude of the demon clan towards humans in the Thunder Empire has changed greatly, but this does not mean that the demon clan likes the human race, after all, greed is the nature of human beings, and there is always a place where the light does not shine. ”

The little fox lying on Shi Nianyuan's lap screamed and was grabbed by Shi Nianyuan's neck, Shi Nianyuan lay on his back on the lawn and put the little fox on his chest: "Also, when I met this guy, I was covered in injuries, I guess I was hunted." By the way, what are you trying to do when you asked me to come? Shi Nianyuan turned his head and asked.

"It's not me, it's her. Yang Qiling sat up and asked the little fox, "I almost forgot to get down to business when we chatted, what do you want me to convey to you?"

The little fox sat and stood in Shi Nianyuan's arms, his round eyes kept turning, and he snorted and whimpered.

She said she was going to be away for a while. Yang Qiling translated.

Shi Nianyuan sat up suddenly, and the little fox was directly slipped from his chest to his thighs: "Leave?

Yang Qiling looked at the little fox and sensed its demon yuan shock and replied, "Go home." She said that she has been away from home for half a year, and she has been staying by your side since she was rescued by you in an accident, and her family must be very worried about her. ”

Shi Nianyuan gently hugged the little fox: "Where is your home, it is now in the seventy-two hanging peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, and it is not convenient to go down the mountain." ”

The little fox rubbed his face with his little paws and tilted his head to look at Shi Nianyuan.

"It just so happens to be in the foothills of the Burning Sun Mountain, and she wants you to send her to the Pick-up Ping. Yang Qiling replied helpfully.

"Hmm...... I know......" Shi Nianyuan lay back on the lawn, looking at the huge Xuandu Xuandu candle on the canopy, the little fox crawled to Shi Nianyuan's chest, licking / Shi Nianyuan's face.

"Ouch, don't don't, don't lick, it's all saliva, and I'm not reluctant to let you go. Although Shi Nianyuan said this, he didn't push the little fox away.

"Actually, I envy you. Yang Qiling said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"As a clansman of the martial arts lineage, I still haven't found my spirit pet partner. Somebody's coming. ”

Yang Qiling and Shi Nianyuan got up one after another, and Shi Nianyuan lifted the little fox to his shoulder.

"Is it him?" Shi Nianyuan said in a low voice.

"Your friend?" Yang Qiling asked, looking at the beautiful son under the moon in front of him.

Shi Nianyuan shook his head.

Tian Haotian was followed by two teenagers and approached from a distance.

"Master Shi, it's really a coincidence, Tian was taking a walk with two old friends, enjoying the night of the Tianshan Mountains, but unexpectedly met Master Shi again at this waterfall peak, it seems that Tian and Master Shi have a good fate. ”

As Tian Haotian approached, the little fox suddenly roared abnormally and roared, jumping off Shi Nianyuan's shoulder, grinning his teeth, his hair stood up, and because he was facing away from Shi Nianyuan and Yang Qiling, his pupils turned from black to red, and he was bloody.

Yang Qiling also frowned instantly, and his face turned cold sharply.

Shi Nianyuan, who felt the sudden change in the atmosphere, retracted his right hand into the cuff and held the Hidden Blade, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Yang Qiling gritted his teeth and said angrily in a low voice: "Demon Yuan...... This guy has just devoured the Demon Pill......"

Tian Haotian walked ten steps in front of Shi Nianyuan and stopped, looked at Yang Qiling, who had fierce eyes in front of him, and said, "Young Master Shi, this friend, doesn't seem to be very kind to Tian?"

A young man behind Tian Haotian reminded him of something, Tian Haotian looked down at the little fox on the ground, and his eyes were fixed on the little fox.

Shi Nianyuan grabbed the little fox and put it back on his shoulder, seeing that the little fox's eyes were abnormal, he put the doubts in his heart first, and was about to speak, but Yang Qiling had already taken a step forward and said coldly: "Disciple of the Burning Sun Mountain Foothills, if you encounter a demon pill, you can kill it." ”

The two teenagers behind Tian Haotian stepped forward one left and one right, protecting Tian Haotian behind him, Tian Haotian narrowed his eyes: "This friend, have you made a mistake?" First, none of the five people present were disciples of the Lieyang Mountain Foothills. Second, Tian's demon pill was bought with a lot of money, which eye did you see Tian hunting spirit beasts?"

"You ......," Yang Qiling choked for a while.

"He's right, let's go. Shi Nianyuan patted Yang Qiling's arm, hugged the little fox on his shoulder into his arms, and walked in the direction of Jieyinfeng.

When they staggered past Tian Haotian, their eyes met for a moment.

"Three years later, the empire will be reincarnated for ten years. At that time, the three kings and five dukes of the empire, eight marquis, eight uncles and twelve sons, all brought their heirs to the imperial capital Xuanyang Miansheng, and agreed to be hereditary. You don't have any ideas?" Tian Haotian didn't turn around, and turned against Shi Nianyuan.

Shi Nianyuan stopped and was silent for a while: "Not much interest." ”

Shi Nianyuan patted his hand and comforted the restless little fox: "Where did you get the demon pill from, it has nothing to do with me." However, don't glance at other people's dogs when you have something to do, so as not to cause misunderstandings. ”

Tian Haotian calmly watched Shi Nianyuan and Yang Qiling step onto the chain bridge, and stroked the jade tail ring on his hand: "The person next to Shi Nianyuan, check it." ”

Qianlong Peak Valley.

"Why is it just like that?" asked Yang Qiling, who had been silent all the way.

"Otherwise, kill him?" Shi Nianyuan asked rhetorically.

"At least teach him a lesson!" Yang Qiling frowned.

Shi Nianyuan said calmly: "Before, this kind of thing of hunting demon pills was beyond my cognition, but in Liuye, some businesses that Cangyun County explicitly prohibited, I have always arranged for Mao San to do, and those dirty things hidden in the dark also have a reason for their existence." After stepping into the Immortal Dao, some blind spots in thinking that I had not thought of before began to be revealed. Sighing, Shi Nianyuan continued: "If you want to teach others, you must at least have the corresponding strength, right? Even if I am new to gnosis, I can easily sense that Tian Haotian's spiritual power is stronger than yours, and his cultivation is above you, not to mention that the other party is not only Tian Haotian." As the so-called forbearance is calm for a while, I expect that he will not dare to touch me, because of the Wuhou Mansion behind me, and what about you?"

"Life is in the world, but I want to follow my heart and look up to it, Master Shi, your argument is profound, I can't understand it, and I dare not agree. After Yang Qiling finished indifferently, he strode away from Shi Nianyuan.

Shi Nianyuan shook his head and stroked the little fox in his arms: "It's just easy to break, I just let him develop obscenely, don't wave it in the early stage, and I didn't let him be a turtle grandson for the rest of his life, as for it?"

The little fox rolled his round eyes, without Yang Qiling there, Shi Nianyuan had no way of knowing what the little fox said.

"Are your eyes alright?"

The little fox shook his head.

Shi Nianyuan walked to his bedroom and ...... the room card The scorching sun order swept the spiritual ban in the center of the white jade door, and the white jade door opened in response to the flickering of spiritual light, although the house was built on a mountain cliff, there was no dark and damp feeling in the house, on the ceiling, the spiritual ban exuded a soft light, Shi Nianyuan sat on the bed, took off the Sumeru ring on his little finger, and the spiritual sense penetrated.

End of the eighth round
