"I still don't understand why other demons can eat whatever they want, and if I eat it, it will block the meridians? Master, don't hide it from me, tell me everything you need to say, if you don't teach me, how will I know? Just like the black water river, I don't know how to guard against its demonic energy. "I secretly overheard the conversation between Master and Fairy Ling Yan, and knew that my body was a rare elixir in the world, so I pestered Master to get to the bottom of it, how could I find out what difference my "elixir" was from others.
Master thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "It's time to talk to you." When you were not enlightened, Master poured the wrong water on you, and took the spring water of the Shengyan Spring as the ...... at the foot of your own mountain."
"Master!" I glared at Master angrily, "I heard the conversation you just had with Fairy Ling Yan. "At this time, he still wants to hide it from me, and if he doesn't lose his temper, the master won't explain it seriously.
"When did you learn to eavesdrop, punish you for three years!" Master pretended to be angry, but I didn't think so. It's like this every time, I just said that I was going to punish me, and I forgot about it in a blink of an eye. I know that Master loves me and is reluctant to punish me, so he is even more big or small in front of him.
"Master, tell me quickly, I'm still dizzy now, and I may faint again after a while. β
"Don't pretend, I just finished sucking the demonic qi for you, and you won't be fine in six hours. β
"Good Master, say it quickly, you can't keep it a secret from me. "Lying doesn't change to coquettishness. Sure enough, I wasn't fit to lie. Thinking of what Ah Shu said to me, my heart throbbed. "Ah Shu, you wait, when I have recovered my body and my mana is restored, I will go and save you" I thought silently in my heart, and suddenly thought: "How to save, what to save, save the bones?" In fact, I don't know that Ah Shu will not come back, but he is just deceiving himself, making himself feel better, and feeling less guilty and hurt.
Master said, "You know where you come from, so I won't bother to speak." As for why you can't eat mortal food, it's because you yourself are the purest and purest elixir fairy grass, and if you eat mortal things, the obscure qi in mortal things enters your body and conflicts with your own medicinal properties, which will not only make you weaken day by day, but also make your cultivation decrease day by day. β
"Then I won't be able to eat anymore?" I asked. Mortal food is so delicious that it's hard to give up.
Master stretched out his hand and flicked my head, "I didn't say it, it's just that you can't eat ordinary food, and you can still eat fairy things." When you reach a certain level of cultivation in the future, maybe it is not impossible to eat less mortal things. β
"Then how long will it take to cultivate?"
"I don't know, there is no precedent to follow. β
At this time, there was a knock at the door. Fairy Ling Yan said, "Come in." A white figure walked in with a bowl of medicinal soup. There were only a few people on the cliff, but there was only a rabbit dressed in white. When I saw her, I was angry, so I turned my face away from her.
Ling Yan asked, "What about Zijun?"
Zijun was frightened by the green vine, and didn't dare to come in, so he played in the ice cave by himself. The rabbit said. I turned around and gave the rabbit a roll of my eyes, but I was worried about whether I really scared Zijun. I didn't know what was crazy at that time, and I couldn't control my feelings.
When the rabbit saw me glaring at her, he was not annoyed, but chuckled lightly, and came over and said, "Wake up, come on, drink this medicine." β
I ignored it, and the master took the medicine bowl and said, "Drink it quickly, let's go back to Yunrong Mountain after drinking the medicine." β
I looked at Master at the same time as the rabbit.
I said, "Master, can you stay a few more days?" I have a friend who fell into the Blackwater River, and I want to save him. β
The rabbit said, "What's the harm in staying for a little longer, the demonic qi in Qingteng's body is still unstable, and he needs to recuperate." β
Master said: "The Fallen Ice Cliff is not far from Yunrong Mountain, I urge the magic weapon to help, and the time for a stick of incense has come." This was for the rabbit, and then he said to me, his expression was very stern, "The mortal Ling Yan Fairy you said has already sued SΓΉ as a teacher, Qing Teng, have you forgotten all the teachings of the teacher? That person has fallen into the Heishui River for more than two days, and he has long since survived, what else are you saving? Don't be obsessed!"
"I ...... Master. My tears fell again, "Master, I just want to try my best, even if I am only one in ten thousand sure, I can't give up a person's life lightly." Master, if nothing else, don't you always teach your disciples like this?"
The master looked at my tearful face, was silent for a while, couldn't bear it, wiped the tears from my face with his hand, and said, "For the master to find it for you, if not, we will go back to the mountain tomorrow." sighed, and said: "You are still young, and when you first get involved in the affairs of children's affection, you will always be involved, and it is understandable that you can't let go for a while." This time I go back to the mountain, I want you to meditate on all the books on the reading shelves, and work with the villagers at the bottom of the mountain every day for ten years, do you agree?"
I stopped crying and bowed my head, and said, "Yes." "I know that Master is really angry this time, and the punishment for me is not as joking as before.
Fairy Ling Yan said: "Okay, the green vine demon qi enters the body, and it is not suitable for the emotions to fluctuate, otherwise the demons in the heart will be born like yesterday, and the obsession will be rampant, and the immortal root will be eroded, which will be very bad." β
The rabbit replied, "yes, don't roll on the ground again, I don't want to stun you again." I looked up to see her smiling eyebrows, and lowered my head again. I'm really not in the mood to fight with this rabbit right now.
At this time, I realized that the day before yesterday and yesterday I was very depressed and had a splitting headache, which turned out to be the cause of inhaling demonic energy. Thinking that I almost blamed Zijun yesterday, such a bad mind is really chilling. The water of this Heishui River makes people lose their hearts, which is really powerful.
Purple light suddenly appeared on Fairy Ling Yan's body, and the master asked, "What's the matter?"
Ling Yan said: "There is a difference in the enchantment under the mountain, and there are outsiders who have broken through by mistake. η½η’ (cong and rong two sounds), go and call Zijun back, don't let him run around. β
The rabbit answered and went out.
Oh, so her name is η½η’. I'm ashamed to say that I have a grudge with her for hundreds of years, but I don't know her name, I only remember that Tanuki called her Xiaoyu, I think she laughed at my simple name that day, her own name must not be so ordinary, "Xiaoyu" should be her nickname for her brother (Tanuki is her brother).
Ling Yan went down the mountain to check, and Master stayed with me. I drank the medicine and lay down to sleep again. There is no sleepiness, just no shame to face the master. This time he joined the WTO, not only caused himself a disease, but also disobeyed the master's teachings and had personal relations with mortals, which ended up in this fate. I wanted to say sorry to Master, but I couldn't. , had to pretend to be asleep. The master sat on the stone bench and didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, it suddenly became noisy outside, and there were many people discussing something. Ying Ying pushed open the door and said, "Shangxian, Sister Ling said please come over." "I heard the sound of Master's clothes rubbing against his clothes as he got up, and I guessed that Master had walked out the door.
The master suddenly turned around and said to Ying Ying, "I am brother and sister with Lili and Ling Yan, you call them brother and sister, why do you just call me an immortal? If you don't dislike it, call me Brother Yun." If you let Tanuki know that you call me an immortal, I'm afraid that I will come to the door and say that I am a big bully and don't treat him as a brother. After saying that, the master left.
I listened to the voice, and knew that she hadn't left yet, but there was no sound in the room, and I pretended to sleep for so long that half of my body was numb, and I pretended to turn over in my sleep, squinting and peeking out a little bit of vision from between my eyelashes, and the rabbit was standing there motionless and grinning. The more I looked at it, the more I felt oozing, and I couldn't help but feel a thrill all over my body, and goosebumps spread from head to foot.
The rabbit came back to her senses at this time, and she had good eyesight, and she could see it even if I opened it even by opening it. He asked me, "Are you awake?" Do you want to come down and move? You can't lie down all the time. There was a smile in his words, and the more I looked at it, the more I shuddered. This guy has a sinister and ruthless temperament more than 500 years ago, and hiding a knife in her smile is her specialty. What's more, we have an old grudge between the two of us, and this caring words always feel like a conspiracy when they come out of her mouth, so this "smiling rabbit" took advantage of my serious illness to lead me to a no-man's land in the name of "activities" to secretly poison me, and I resolutely continued to pretend to be asleep.
Seeing this, the rabbit snorted coldly, and said, "Pretend!" and walked out of the room. Look, look, how annoying and hypocritical this rabbit is.
After the rabbit left, the room was quieter. I was nestled under the covers, but my hands and feet were cold. When you're alone, you're always cranky. First of all, I thought that in fact, she is not a bad person, at least except for the bite she bit me more than 500 years ago, I have not seen her bad. I was sick and unconscious, and she took good care of it, but her mouth was poisonous, and her lips and tongue were not forgiving, but when she was poisonous, she still looked smiling, as if she had already eaten you and damaged you, so that people couldn't help but be angry, and there was no way to think about her as a good person. Then I thought about what Master was going to do, the realm of the Fallen Ice Cliff is not under the master's control, why do you still have to discuss with the master if there is something? I couldn't think of a reason for a long time, I was stunned, and suddenly I started to miss Ah Shu again. The water of the Heishui River robs people's minds and lives, and it shouldn't be able to take away the soul, so even if Ah Shu has returned to his hometown, dozens of years later, maybe he will be reincarnated again, as long as I have the heart to look for it, I should be able to find him after reincarnation.
But...... Do I still want to go to him? No matter whether I am a demon or an immortal in a few decades or hundreds of years, I can't have too much to do with mortals after all. I sighed and lay on my back on the bed, staring at the tassel beside the bed in a daze. I've always been like this, it's a bad habit to be in a daze whenever I can't figure it out or don't want to think about it. Even if you want to force yourself to ignore the problem, you should find something else to pass the time, instead of wasting time in a daze. Although this method is also a passive avoidance, it is still better than the previous one.
After thinking clearly, I don't stay in bed anymore, I want to find a place to meditate and heal, and the injury should heal quickly, just taking medicine. As a grass and tree goblin, the best place to heal and cultivate is the land with abundant spiritual energy. Put down roots, soak up luscious underground springs, and enjoy the warmest embrace of Mother Earth.
It is worthy of being a blessed land, and the aura is abundant everywhere on the fallen ice cliff. Bypassing the icicles and passing through the corridor, the road is not as barren as the mountain, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants grow in the ice tenderly, bubbling with a slight chill, as if they are colder than ice.
As soon as I stepped out of the end of the corridor, the view immediately widened, and this should be a clearing that would be isolated from the day after tomorrow, and it could remove the marks of the chiseling on the opposite ice wall. There is a smooth mirror-like ice surface in the open space, and there are crushed jade-like ice cubes, on which are planted with flowers and plants, and the people who plant them are very careful, and the flower beds that come out of the secluded area are very neat one by one. I picked a random place, took on my true form, took root in the soil under the ice, and began to concentrate on cultivating.
There is no concept of time when cultivating, and I don't know how long it took, when I suddenly felt a large wave of immortal qi fluctuations, out of vigilance, I immediately pricked up my ears. I wanted to release my divine consciousness impulsively, but fortunately I stopped at a critical time, and it was indeed more convenient to release my divine consciousness, but it was easy to be detected by others, and it was accidentally exposed.
