Xu Tianxuan took a long breath and smelled the fragrant broth, he felt that this was what the winter solstice should feel like. The real breath of life is much more reliable than that of old ancestors and little ancestors.

On the flat ground outside the house, Wu Dong was practicing boxing in the snow. He practiced quite devotedly, and even when Xu Tianxuan ran closer, he didn't notice the other party.

Xu Tianxuan slowed down his pace and did not disturb Wu Dong, he stood quietly to the side and watched Wu Dong box. A step, a fist, there is a look. Wu Dong has a sturdy figure and dark skin, he is not much older than Xu Tianxuan, but he is a lot taller than Xu Tianxuan.

Not long after, Wu Xiaohua came out of the house. When she saw Xu Tianxuan, she immediately shouted, "Brother Tianxuan, why are you standing outside!" It's cold outside, come in and sit. ”

Wu Xiaohua is now less than eleven years old, and her black hair is combed into a bun. She was wearing a pale pink skirt and waved at Xu Tianxuan.

Hearing the little sister's shout, Wu Dong immediately withdrew his fist. didn't notice that Xu Tianxuan was coming, Wu Dong was a little embarrassed: "It's Brother Xu who is here, come to the house to get warm, the house is hot." ”

Hearing this, Xu Tianxuan smiled and said hello, and entered the house at the same time as Wu Dong. Wu Dong is a real person, seeing that he practices martial arts so hard, Xu Tianxuan couldn't help but mention: "I heard Steward Chu say that he may have to recruit nursing homes next spring." Brother Wu is so diligent, there should be hope for the coming year. ”

"No, I'm still far from what I'm capable of." Wu Dong waved his hand again and again, "With my current three-legged cat kung fu, I can't be a nurse at all!" ”

The three of them were talking in the outhouse, and Aunt Li heard the movement, lifted the curtain and walked out. Aunt Li saw the three children talking and laughing, and couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about, you are so happy." ”

"Aunt Li!" Xu Tianxuan saw her and shouted happily. He took out the delicate light box and stuffed it into Aunt Li's hand as if offering a treasure, "Aunt Li, open it and take a look." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Li's whole family was a little surprised. Based on their relationship with Xu Tianxuan, they thought that Xu Tianxuan didn't need to be so polite. Xu Tianxuan just came over to eat, why spend money to buy things.

However, having said that, Wu Dong and Wu Xiaohua's heads still couldn't help but get together. The brother and sister couldn't help but wonder what Xu Tianxuan brought.

Aunt Li looked at Xu Tianxuan suspiciously, then at the wooden box, and then gently opened the lid of the box.

The moment the box was opened, a bright light poured out. A small bronze lamp lay quietly in the wooden box, emitting a bright light.

Aunt Li looked surprised, and Wu Dong and Wu Xiaohua also showed an incredibly surprised expression. The three stared incredulously at the small bronze lamp and at it.

Wu Dong was shocked: "This lamp has no lamp oil!" ”

Wu Xiaohua was incredulous: "This lamp actually has no wick!" ”

Extremely shocked, Aunt Li opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't know what to say for a while. The delicate wooden box, the small bronze lamp without the oil and wick, this is a treasure no matter how you look at it.

Wu Xiaohua, who was full of curiosity, asked anxiously, "Brother Tianxuan, what kind of treasure is this?" ”

It doesn't need a wick or lamp oil, but it can shine brightly.

Xu Tianxuan smiled indifferently: "This is the Qingxin Lantern, invited from Yunxiangguan." ”

"Pure Heart Lantern!" The three exclaimed in unison. The fairy lantern of Yunxiangguan, it is said that only those who have a fairy fate can please go home.

Suddenly, the three of them were full of novelty about the mysterious Qingxin lantern. Aunt Li thought about it, she closed the lid of the box and pushed it to Xu Tianxuan: "This lamp is too precious." It's your fairy fate, and I can't take it. ”

Hearing this, Xu Tianxuan smiled and pushed the box to Aunt Li again: "It's not my immortal fate, it's your immortal fate." ”

Xu Tianxuan's words, the other three couldn't understand.

In this regard, Xu Tianxuan explained unhurriedly: "I met an old-timer on the street. He gave me a piece of paper to help me get the Pure Heart Lamp. The old-timers exchanged a bowl of hot soup with me to warm up. Now, the fairy lantern is invited, and the hot soup of the old-timers is indispensable. ”

Xu Tianxuan's words changed: "Every year, I come to you to rub mutton soup and drink, where do I get any hot soup to exchange with the old-timers." The old-timers have great powers, and they know the origin of the hot soup, so they said those words, and the fairy lantern must be for Aunt Li. Aunt Li, did you say no? ”

In exchange, the fate of fairy lanterns must of course correspond to hot soup. Xu Tianxuan couldn't get the hot soup, and the sloppy old man wanted to drink the mutton soup cooked by Aunt Li's house, and the fairy lantern was naturally used by Aunt Li's family.

Xu Tianxuan is at best responsible for running errands in the middle.

After thinking about it, Aunt Li felt that it was indeed this reason, but she still thought that the fairy lantern was precious and did not dare to accept it. Besides, asking for fairy lanterns requires silver, one or two pieces of silver is not cheap for Xu Tianxuan, Xu Tianxuan has so many younger brothers and sisters that he needs to take care of.

However, Aunt Li's family couldn't stand Xu Tianxuan's persuasion. Xu Tianxuan reads a lot, and when it comes to reasoning one after another, Aunt Li really can't tell the difference.

Aunt Li finally agreed to accept the Qingxin lamp, she took out the small bronze lamp and put it on the table of the outhouse, and the whole outhouse brightened up in an instant. Wu Dong watched happily from the side, while Wu Xiaohua stared excitedly at the small bronze lamp: "Mother, this light is beautiful and bright." With the fairy lantern, you can see clearly when you do needlework at night in the future. ”

Wu Xiaohua's words expressed Xu Tianxuan's thoughts, as long as the Qingxin Lantern was useful to Aunt Li and them, Xu Tianxuan would be worth the trip.

Everyone chatted with each other again, and Aunt Li suddenly frowned slightly: "This old man should be a great immortal." Tianxuan, can you talk to the old immortal, how to give him hot soup? ”

When Aunt Li mentioned this, Xu Tianxuan showed a little embarrassment. The sloppy old man came out coldly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, Xu Tianxuan really didn't discuss with him how to give this bowl of soup.

He was about to explain the situation when he suddenly heard someone behind him speak: "The Qingxin Lantern has arrived, and Poor Dao will come over to drink soup with a thick old face!" ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a sloppy Taoist with a white beard standing by the door, who was not the Liuhua Ancestor that Xu Tianxuan met halfway.

Xu Tianxuan's spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly bowed to the old man and said, "Senior, you are here." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Li immediately took her son and daughter who were in a daze beside her, and was about to kneel and bow: "Meet the old fairy!" ”

"Hey, don't kneel, don't kneel! These rituals can be waived. The sloppy old man stretched out his hand to help, and the three of them were stunned and did not kneel, but were held up by a soft force. Then, the old man laughed, "The immortals don't dare to be, there is still half a foot outside the fairy gate!" ”

As soon as the sloppy old man made a move, Aunt Li's mother and son stirred up turmoil in their hearts, saying that this old fairy was really kind-hearted and didn't let them kneel and worship. Although the old gods are dressed more shabby than the statues of Taoist temples, they are very kind to people.

After that, Aunt Li hurriedly took her daughter to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Although the immortals do not eat mortal food, since the old immortals have come to their house, it is a blessing for their family. Other families worship immortals year after year, and it is rare to see immortals appear.

Now that there is a living immortal in my own house, not to mention anything else, hurry up and add vegetables, this is a must!

Wu Dong and Xu Tianxuan invited the sloppy old man to the upper seat, and the two stood on one side and waited honestly. Wu Dong was so nervous that he didn't dare to speak, but Xu Tianxuan didn't care, and looked at the old man several times in succession.

Could it be that this is really the ancestor in Yun Yichang's mouth?

Yun Yichang was in the position of the master of the thousand-year-old temple at a young age, Xu Tianxuan was unheard of, this ragged and elusive old man was the ancestor who was respected by the ancient view, and Xu Tianxuan was even more unseen. These strange things are even stranger than Xu Tianxuan picking up a wolf cub and the wolf cub turning around and turning into a human form.

Of course, the sloppy old man knew Xu Tianxuan's thoughts, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If you want to ask anything, you can ask directly." I'm here just to ask for comfort, you must not toss like in the Taoist temple, I can't stand it. ”

These words were said to Xu Tianxuan and Wu Dong, but Wu Dong still didn't dare to say anything.

Xu Tianxuan smiled when he heard this, God knows, how many questions he wanted to ask, he was full of endless interest in the sloppy old man and Yun Xiangguan.

What does the old man mean when he said that he still has half a foot outside the fairy gate? Is the old man a god or not?

Among all the confusions, Xu Tianxuan is most concerned about his lack of support, and his fate is ruined. These things, if possible, Xu Tianxuan plans to ask quietly in private.

"Old-timers." Xu Tianxuan took a step forward, "Previously, the juniors went to Yunxiangguan, and the Taoist chief there said something about the old ancestor and the little ancestor, and the juniors didn't understand it very well, so please give the seniors advice." ”

"You kid, now you know to be polite." The sloppy old man said with a smile. Not long ago on the street, Xu Tianxuan was free to treat the old man as a charlatan.

Xu Tianxuan scratched his head in embarrassment, but his smile remained unchanged: "The younger generation has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, don't blame the seniors." ”

"Okay, don't pretend to be so good, I'm not used to it." The sloppy old man waved his hand casually. After that, he symbolically straightened out his messy robe, "Poor Dao Dao is called Liuhua, in the Liuyun Immortal Sect, the disciples in the sect will call Liuhua Ancestor when they see me." Hehe, old ancestor, it's the old immortal guy. ”

Xu Tianxuan: "......"

Do you say that about yourself......

The sloppy old man didn't care about this, he curled his beard slightly: "This Yunxiang Temple in the city is the lower courtyard of the Liuyun Immortal Sect. The Taoist priest here can barely be regarded as a disciple of the Immortal Sect. The talisman given to you is a specialty of the Liuyun Immortal Sect, called the Liuyun Town Yunxian Talisman. It can turn into a cloud and suppress a party's luck. Once the luck is suppressed, the next thing is naturally that this suppressed place will be unlucky! ”

The sloppy old man laughed heartily as he spoke.

Xu Tianxuan continued: "......"

In other words, this ancestor, Yun Xiangguan is the lower courtyard of the Immortal Sect, and you are the elder of the Immortal Sect. Is it really okay to intimidate the lower court like this, and still laugh quite heartily?

Thinking so in his heart, Xu Tianxuan subconsciously pulled his white robe. This crumpled paper talisman looks very powerful, since the ancestor doesn't shout to return it, Xu Tianxuan naturally won't return it, and keep it to smash bad people in the future!

Seeing through Xu Tianxuan's thoughts, the sloppy old man decisively added: "The power of the immortal talisman is huge, I just opened a little gap for you, so that it can recognize your storage." Your current power simply can't use it. It's okay to scare people with it, but it's okay to hit people. ”

The old man said it so bluntly, Xu Tianxuan sighed in his heart. He then thought again, scary is actually not bad, there is always one more chance to escape. It is estimated that the first time it is used, it is best to use it unexpectedly, and I am afraid that the effect will be greatly reduced if it is used again in the future.

Miscellaneous sorted out the identity of this ancestor, and Xu Tianxuan's attention shifted to the issue of entering the immortal gate in half a step.

This time, the old man said more directly: "I am a monk, not an immortal. When the world saw that the monk could soar through the clouds and mist, call the wind and rain, and mistakenly think that the monk was a god, but in fact this is not the case. The monks practiced against the heavens, just to cultivate the Great Dao and gain immortality. Among the monks, those who can finally fade away from mortal bones, successfully ascend to immortals, and enter the immortal realm are qualified to be called immortals. Before that, cultivators only lived a little longer than mortals. ”

Xu Tianxuan nodded in understanding, meaning that the sloppy old man was indeed not an immortal at the moment. He is only half an immortal, and he is about to succeed.

"Where is the Liuyun Immortal Sect? Is it big? Are there many people inside? Xu Tianxuan's question is also Wu Dong's question.

The sloppy old man stretched out his hand and swiped through the air, drawing two white rays, one for the earth and the other for the sky: "Mortals are in the mortal realm and live on the ground, and the immortals are in the heavenly realm and dwell above the heavens." The monks dwell between heaven and earth. ”

Then, the sloppy old man drew a high mountain in the middle of the two white lines, and he lightly clicked at the position below the top of the mountain: "According to the order of strength, the position between heaven and earth, the Liuyun Immortal Sect is here." The sum of the Thousand Cloud Xiangguan is not as big as the corner of the Immortal Sect. ”

Xu Tianxuan didn't know much about the Liuyun Immortal Sect, but they had seen Yunxiangguan, and with this as a comparison, they could guess a rough idea.

"What about the top of the mountain?" Xu Tianxuan asked. The Liuyun Immortal Sect didn't reach the top of the mountain, so what was on the top of the mountain?

"Mountaintop......" The sloppy old man stared thoughtfully at the mountain, "there is a sect there that is more powerful than the Liuyun Immortal Sect. Of the nine Great Immortal Sects, the Liuyun Immortal Sect ranked sixth. ”

Hearing this, Xu Tianxuan and Wu Dong invariably showed surprised expressions.

I feel like the monk's world is so powerful!

"You two guys obediently stay in the mortal realm, don't think nonsense, the cultivation realm is not your path in this life." The sloppy old man's gaze swept over Wu Dong, and then fell on Xu Tianxuan, "You two are not the life of a monk. The peace of mind of practicing martial arts, the peace of mind of farming, you have your own life! ”

The ancestor made up his mind, and Xu Tianxuan and Wu Dong couldn't hide the regret in their eyes.

However, Xu Tianxuan's frustration is far more than Wu Dong's, so it is understandable for Wu Dong to practice martial arts with peace of mind, what is it to let Xu Tianxuan farm with peace of mind? Could it be that his rich and noble appearance is facing the loess with his back to the sky, this makes no sense!
