Lin Ning came all the way with Zeng Yue, but the direction he was going was not the Elixir Garden, but towards the direction of the main vein, he was puzzled, and stepped forward to ask, "Senior Brother Zeng, what are you doing now to go to the Immortal Trace Vein?" ”

Zeng Yue Zhengse said: "Now that you have returned to the sect safely, and you have become a foundation building monk in one fell swoop, you naturally want to report to the head of the sect and change your current status as a miscellaneous servant in the outer court. ”

Hearing him say this, even if Lin Ning was ten thousand unwilling, he had to follow hard, but what embarrassed him was this tattered beggar-like outfit, although he was not a person who paid attention to appearance, but when he saw the head of the house, there was indeed something wrong with this body.

He shook his robe, Zeng Yue shook his head and smiled, and saw that he didn't even have a storage box on his body, even if he knew, although this son successfully built the foundation, but the hardships and the price paid were by no means just imaginary.

Even if the sect is worse, it is always thousands of times better than the outside, and there is no shortage of talented people, but those geniuses who were regarded as the easiest to build a foundation many years ago, with countless resources in the sect, plus the protection of the master, are still standing still, but Lin Ning is a miscellaneous servant in the outer courtyard, with no one to assist, and no half of the resources available, he still builds the foundation.

Needless to say, what is commendable is the incomparable tenacity and perseverance of ordinary people, as well as lofty understanding, although these things are not as real as the pills and foreign substances, but the value is by no means comparable to things like Zhuji Dan.

In the early years, he had seen that this son was a little different from ordinary people, and as for the differences, he did not understand at that time, but now he suddenly understood.

The so-called difference is not how the spiritual root is against the heavens, nor how excellent the qualifications are, let alone what kind of appearance and appearance, but the difference here refers to a person's determination to cultivate the Tao.

If a person's determination is strong enough and his understanding is high enough, no matter how poor his qualifications are, no matter how mixed his spiritual roots are, he will be an immortal talent over time.

The truth is simple, simple to the deep, everyone can understand, but how many people can persevere?

After thinking about it, Zeng Yue retracted his thoughts and handed him a simple gown, "The lower grade of the Dharma robe is the result of the old man's early practice, which can avoid the cold in winter and warm up in summer." ”

Lin Ning thanked him, took it easily, and draped it directly outside, he touched the dusty robe, and he didn't know what it was woven from, it looked like a linen clothes, but the touch was as smooth as silk, and when worn on the body, there was a faint and warm feeling.

He had never worn any gold silk in his life, but now the one Zeng Yue had given him was the best piece of clothing, which was naturally much better than those coarse linen strips, and he was slightly happy, and for the first time he smiled happily like a child getting candy.

"I'll be happy to be like this when I accept a low-grade robe, that's it, let's go," Zeng Yue saw this, just smiled and scolded, and the two of them turned away from the breeze.

After a while, the two stood at the residence of the head of the house.

Lin Ning looked around, and thought that the place where the head of the generation of Qing cultivation would be gorgeous and magnificent, but what he saw with his own eyes made him a little moved.

This place is just a green shade forest, surrounded by peach and plum, on the gravel path, the winding path leads straight to the secluded place, there is an elegant courtyard inside, within ten miles, it is pure and pleasant, and the aura is much purer than other places.

Although this place is not as gorgeous as the Yuyu Attic, it is better to return to the basics, that is, passing by can make people feel at ease, and it is really a good place for cultivation.

It really responds to the sentence: the mountain is not high, the immortal is bright, the water is not deep, and the dragon is the spirit's elegant and innocent words.

"Come in." Qingyuan Dao Elder cultivation is profound, and his divine sense is not comparable to that of a foundation building monk like them, so when the two of them first stepped into this place, even if they didn't take the initiative to break the prohibition and disturb him, he already knew it.

Hearing this, Zeng Yue and Lin Ning both took two steps back, bent down and said, "Thank you, Lord Boss." ”

A faint luster fell on the two of them, and when they opened their eyes again, they had already seen an old man with a fairy wind, who was lying leisurely on a Taishi chair, closing his eyes and recuperating.

There are three wings, birds and flowers, the main house is equipped with sandalwood, Qingming is refreshing, and the flowers and plants are all around, if you don't know in advance that this is the residence of the Qingyuan Daoist, I am afraid that Lin Ning still thinks that it is the courtyard where the disciple practices.

There is nothing ordinary everywhere, only a towering ancient tree that covers the sky and the sun, I don't know how many years have passed, revealing the taste of ancient and blue.

"Zeng Yue, is there anything wrong with you?" At this time, Qingyuan Dao Chang stood with his sleeves brushed and asked gently, in his tone, he was not as proud as the high-ranking person at all, and he was extremely approachable.

Zeng Yue saluted and said: "Master of the Sect, Lin Ning, a disciple of the Black Heart Mountain who trained eight years ago, has returned, and now he is a foundation building monk, so I have come to report to you the head of the sect." ”

"Oh?" Qingyuan Dao grew up to be curious, and he still didn't believe it, but he frowned and swept away with his divine sense, and immediately turned from doubt to surprise, and then from surprise to joy, this series of changes may not be surprising to others, but if Qingyuan Dao Chang did it, then it is another story.

He is a highly respected Yuanying monk, his heart is outstanding, and he can not change his face when Mount Tai is pressed on the top, but now his face has changed even if he has changed his face, which is enough to show the shock in his heart.

"Is it really the boy from the outer courtyard back then, Lin Ning?" Although ten points have been believed, the matter of Black Heart Mountain back then was indeed not trivial, and Daoist Qingyuan still asked again.

Lin Ning said bluntly, "If you go back to the head of the sect, it is indeed me, but I got an opportunity outside, and I built the foundation in one fell swoop, and it took a lot of time to return to the sect, and I hope that the head of the sect will not be punished." He won't tell him how he succeeded in building the foundation and where he built the foundation, so he said it first, so as not to ask too many questions from the other party.

Qingyuan Dao Chang was as clear as a spring, and a trace of surprise suddenly crossed in Gujing Wubo's eyes, and then quickly covered up the past, and he smiled lightly: "It's good to come back, I thought you had already fallen, alas...... Forget about those things, Lin Ning, you are now a foundation building monk, in terms of door rules, naturally you must not be treated as a miscellaneous servant of the outer court, you were originally a registered disciple of the Qingfeng Vein, originally these trivial matters should have been arranged by Nangong Wen Jian, but he has never returned since eight years ago, leaving a vacant position as the head, and now the Qingfeng Vein group has no leader, if the old man makes you the head of the Qingfeng Vein Academy, are you willing? ”

Lin Ning was stunned, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and then said: "The head of the family has high hopes, how dare the kid not obey, it's just that I have never taught others, even if I have just built a foundation for cultivation, how can I compete with other masters, the head of the house suddenly asked me to take on this heavy responsibility, I'm afraid I have more than enough heart and not enough strength, so I still implore the head of the house to take back my life!" ”

Daoist Qingyuan seemed to have expected it, and was not surprised, and said with a little regret: "Alas...... That's it, the twisted melon is not sweet, if you don't want to, the old man will naturally not force it, since the foundation has been built, those miscellaneous things, don't do it, find a place in Liuling, open up a private cave, do a good penance, add another Jiedan monk to my Taoist sect as soon as possible, if you find a good place and dig the cave, you will send someone to inform the old man, and the old man will send all the people to the door. ”

"Yes, there is Master Lao." He was just about to say goodbye, but suddenly remembered something, and then asked: "Dare to ask the head master, Lin Ning has something unclear." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Lin Ning has just returned to the sect, and he has never known many matters, dare to ask Li Mingheng, who debuted with me back then, is still in the sect?" He has been faintly worried, but he has not been able to find anyone to hear the news, this time in front of the head, naturally he has to ask clearly, and the head of the Qingyuan Dao wanted to speak and stopped, and the words suddenly turned to the peak, could it be that there is something hidden?

Qingyuan Daoist frowned and sighed: "Li Mingheng, like Nangong Wen Jian, disappeared eight years ago, and there has been no news so far......."

Lin Ning was in a trance for a while, and secretly wondered: "How can this be?" ”
