Chapter 223: Bamboo Garden (2)

[Ran^文^Library][]. []. [com] Xiuzhu Garden is not far from the Qiankun Temple, the imperial weapon leads to the south, and before it falls, you can see a large bamboo garden surrounded by mountains and forests. (Ran Library (7764))

Within a radius of three miles, the mountains are verdant, the mountain wind passes, the bamboo sea rises and falls, continuous, the green waves catch up with the layer, the waves are magnificent.

The bamboo is straight, the leaf tips are green, the cold mountain north wind, and the snow suppresses the other trees, but it can't cover the Wizard of Oz here.

Under Nangong Lian's instructions, Lin Ning and Li Mingheng both took out the magic weapon of the Ice Moon Knife from the storage box.

Lin Ning looked at it in his hand, the blade was curved, like a sickle, and his body was covered with a blue halo, holding it in his hand, there was a hint of coldness, but the aura on it was dim, it was a low-level and low-level magic weapon.

If this knife is not water-based, I am afraid it will be no different from the worldly scythe for cutting wheat.

But Li Mingheng held it in his hand, but it was the best treasure protection, looking at the blade that emitted a light blue halo, his eyes lit up, thinking that he would be able to use the magic weapon immediately, he couldn't help but rub his hands and was eager to try.

"You two, you only need to cut three bamboos, and you must finish cutting them within three days, otherwise you will wait for the punishment." Falling to the top of the mountain, Nangong Lian put away Fei Aya, pushed Li Mingheng down from above, and turned to the two people.

Lin Ning frowned and asked carefully, "Three bamboos, even if you use a magic weapon, it will take three days?" Could it be that there is something strange in the bamboo garden? ”

"Weird?" Nangong Lian clasped her hands around her chest, but she sneered: "Why are you afraid?" Hehe, let me tell you, there is nothing strange about the bamboo garden, that is, the quality of the bamboo planted in it is better, have you heard of Western black bamboo? ”

"Black bamboo?" Lin Ning thought about it, he was born in the south, but this plant was grown in the west, so naturally he had never heard of it.

The soil and water in the south are mild and fertile, and plants are generally easy to grow in the south, but they are not good in the western pole.

In the West Arctic Desert, Liaoyuan is thousands of miles, and most of the plants that can grow there are extremely tough and tenacious, and I have even heard that the locals use local materials, and the arrows made by any tree are comparable to the power of iron arrows.

Thinking of this, Lin Ning suddenly realized, this black bamboo is very unusual! The confidence in his heart instantly disappeared, he looked at the Ice Moon Knife in his hand, and suddenly felt a burst of pressure.

Three roots, three days!

I'm afraid that judging from Ye Hongji's harshness in treating his disciples, it would be a very high requirement for them to cut one a day.

No wonder Lei Zhao heard that they were going to the Bamboo Garden to cut bamboo for cultivation, and he would show that expression.

Although Nangong Lian is younger than him, her cultivation is higher than both of them, she has been guided by Nangong Wen Jian since she was a child, and her mana is mellow, which is also natural, and she will not worry too much about cutting black bamboo.

And Lin Ning's ten-fold early cultivation, coupled with the Nine Palaces and Twelve Heavens, can barely cope with it, but Li Mingheng can't.

His cultivation is not high, and his mana is not pure, even if he hasn't used the magic weapon a few times, how can he complete the task?

Don't say one, it's good to cut off branches and leaves.

But seeing Li Mingheng's eyes bursting with fire, holding the Ice Moon Knife tightly in his hand, looking imperative, the two couldn't help but be faintly worried.

"Let's go." The two of them were stunned for a moment, but it was Li Mingheng who reminded them that he couldn't wait to get up while holding the Ice Moon Knife.

Lin Ning knew that things were not so simple, and he was afraid of damaging his confidence, so he coughed twice and said: "Senior Brother Li, cultivators, it is good to pay attention to calmness and complete the task early, but if you mess up your mood because of this, the gains outweigh the losses, so take your time, don't be in a hurry later, find the right position with a knife and then start." ”

The so-called sharpening knives do not mistake woodcutters, of course Li Mingheng knows this truth, but the words he listened to Lin Ning were obviously teaching, how could he feel like comforting.

Nangong Lian couldn't stand it anymore, her mouth pouted, and she lost a stupid sentence, and walked towards the bamboo garden.

Lin Ning patted him on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and followed.

Li Mingheng was left wondering, "What's wrong with these two?" Shaking his head, he rushed away.

Entering the wooden fence, you will see a piece of bamboo forest, tall and straight, straight and incomparable, looking at the treetops on the way, quite a kind of skyrocketing trend.

However, after coming in, Lin Ning found that although the bamboo here was tall, it was not thick, on the contrary, it was extremely slender, and the thickest one he could see was only clenched into a fist.

In addition to the green and thin tips of the black bamboo, the bamboo body is not emerald green, but iron black, and the bamboo nodes are black and shiny, and it seems to be extremely hard.

Nangong Lianji is smart and clever, she knows that the black bamboo is different from the usual green bamboo, the thinner the more condensed, the more difficult it is to start, the thicker the bamboo, the inside is hollow, the bamboo body is brittle, and it is not so difficult to cut down.

Although it is a bit opportunistic, it is also a good idea.

Lin Ning saw this strange bamboo for the first time, where did he know the secret, he just followed behind Nangong Lian, not leaving a step.

He wanted to see how Nangong Lian was going to start first.

The three of them have been walking far into the bamboo forest, and they have been cultivating the bamboo garden for a long time, and the breeze is very strong.

One by one, as thin as a finger.

Where is there any thicker black bamboo, which makes Nangong Lian's little face very unhappy, she holds her own first daughter, and she is favored by the teacher, who would have thought that she would suffer such a living crime because of these two stinky boys.

But Nangong Wen Jian, the order of the first seat must not be disobeyed, even if she is his daughter, she has to obey it, and she only thinks that she will complete the task, so that she will not be stupid enough to really find that kind of solid old wood to cut.

After walking for a long time, Nangong Lian seemed to feel annoyed, suddenly stopped, turned around and walked towards the lone-born black bamboo in the distance.

Just as he was about to raise the Ice Moon Knife in his hand, he was about to slash it according to the momentum, but he heard a soft laugh from behind him, "It turned out to be Senior Sister Lian'er, what are you doing here to cultivate the bamboo garden?" ”

Following the words, I saw a young man with outstanding posture and extraordinary bearing, with one hand behind his back, a slender sword eyebrows flying obliquely, slender black eyes, thin lips, and angular outlines.

Extremely handsome and chic.

When Nangong Lian saw this person, her face immediately turned slightly red, like a frightened bird, she lowered her snow-white gooseneck and called softly, "Senior Brother Ji." ”

"Senior Brother Ji, Ji Nan?" Li Mingheng seemed to recognize this person, and when he called out the other party's name, his face immediately turned blue and red, and he didn't dare to make more noise.

Lin Ning wondered, what is the origin of this person, but seeing that Nangong Lian has changed from her previous arrogance and become as well-behaved as a bird, her eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness when she looked at each other.

I couldn't help but understand something.

"Twelve-fold for?" Lin Ning's mind swept over and was taken aback, but he saw that the other party was already looking at him and Li Mingheng.

"Hey, why is this a waste...... Li Mingheng, Senior Brother Li is also here? It seems that Ji Feng has become a habit to speak smoothly, and blurting out is a waste, but thinking of Nangong Lian's presence, he couldn't help but change his words instantly.

Looking at Li Mingheng's eyes, he did not hide the disgust and irony of the complex color, his eyes were very clear, as if containing countless starlight, very beautiful.

But it's like a sword.

Li Mingheng subconsciously avoided his gaze, did not speak, his brows furrowed more and more, and said in his heart: "Shouldn't this waste still be sweeping the courtyard outside?" How did you get to the Bamboo Garden in the Qingfeng Vein? ”

Seeing that he had already retired from the miscellaneous service and changed into the Taoist robe of a disciple of the inner court, Ji Feng understood something.

Nangong Lian explained in a low voice: "Senior Brother Ji, he has passed the assessment and was admitted to the inner courtyard by his father, and Master Ye asked me to come to cultivate the bamboo garden with them. ”

Her tone was as soft as water, and her voice was low and tactful, compared to Lin Ning and Li Mingheng's shouting, it was like two people.

Ji Feng narrowed his eyes, a subtle sneer flashed, but there was a smile on his face: "So that's the case, that's really congratulations to Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother is busy with cultivation and couldn't come to congratulate, I hope Senior Brother won't blame." ”

"No, it's okay, Senior Brother Ji bothered." Li Mingheng was stunned and replied with two sentences, but his feet took two steps back.

He seems to be very jealous of this person.

Lin Ning's face was cold and handsome, between this person's good eyes, there was a strong artificiality, as if he was not a good person, although he did not have rich experience, but after walking alone for many days, he still learned a lot of skills in observing words and feelings.

At this moment, another person came behind him.

is also handsome and outstanding.

Qingxiao?

What is he here for?

Lin Ning couldn't help but clench the Ice Moon Knife in his hand......
