The tenth time I wandered the child

It was the height of summer, and the cicadas were singing. Qin Ying hid under the porch to enjoy the shade.

She shook and fanned the bamboo fracture fan, squinting at the Huainanzi in her hand.

According to legend, Huainanzi was written by the king of Huainan of the Han Dynasty and his disciples. It records many strange things that are strange and confusing.

Strange chatter is best for cooling off. Qin Ying leisurely turned the page, and sighed in his heart that Huainanzi could write more terrifyingly.

whispered about Huainanzi's shortcomings, and suddenly felt that someone was talking in his ear.

Suddenly, she shivered.

I only heard the voice cough and said, "-- Come to Lao Xiaoding to see me at the top of the old sky." When I came, I brought two pots of Dongtian milk wine. ”

Qin Ying patted his frightened chest. The master of the dark path is becoming more and more disrespectful to the old, and he always uses the method of transmitting sound into the secret to frighten people.

She has been Ning Fengzi's apprentice for a hundred years, but she is still recruited from time to time just like she did at the beginning.

Before he arrived, Qin Ying carried two jars of wine to the top of the old sky.

Ning Fengzi saw Qin Ying coming from a distance, and laughed: "I asked Ming Li to bring me a pot of wine in the first place, but he really only sent a pot." Hey, what a brainless elm pimple...... In this way, it seems that I still know me in vain. ”

Hearing the master openly speak ill of his brother-in-law, Qin Ying's face was a little embarrassed.

She covered her face with a bow, and then expertly lifted the red cloth lid from the jar.

The peculiar smell of dairy wine is emanated.

Qin Ying poured a pot for the master and said, "This is a new brew made by my sister in the spring this year, and it should be better than the previous brew." I moved out of the wine cellar in the backyard of the Shangqing Palace this afternoon with great effort. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work." Ning Fengzi stared at the jade pot full of elixir with bright eyes, and said continuously.

Qin Ying, who was standing on the side and waiting, smiled bitterly.

His master Ning Fengzi was very experienced in education, and Qin Ying benefited a lot in this hundred years.

Correspondingly, he is also very experienced in eating and drinking.

So during these hundred years, Qin Ying often had to cook in person to satisfy the master's appetite. Sometimes I can't cope with the food, so I can only run around for him.

And Dongtian milk wine is a typical representative of what she can't handle.

It just so happens that her sister-Qin Xi brews a good wine, and she will not have to bother with it.

The number of wine jars in the wine cellar is wrong, and of course Qin Xi knows the reason. But she didn't bother to trouble Ning Fengzi.

One is that Qin Xi can't afford to provoke this Wuyue real person, and the other is that the little sister is studying here in Ning Fengzi, and Qin Xi needs to do some favors.

So the wine continued to enter Ning Fengzi's mouth.

"Hanging Star, do you know why this melodious phosphorus fire is called a holy lamp?" Ning Fengzi pointed to the light in the distance.

The questioning called Qin Ying back to reality.

She replied, "Legend has it that this holy lamp was lit by the immortals for the sake of Zhang Tianshi."

Ning Fengzi grinned at the corners of his mouth and said, "Let me ask you again, why do you call phosphorus fire a lamp...... And not something else? ”

This stumped Qin Ying. She frowned and thought about it for a while, not knowing.

He leaned against the railing of the Huying Pavilion, and pointed his right hand with the flask pointing at the sporadic phosphorus fire.

"I think...... This is because when these phosphorus fires rise, they look like a house with a light gradually turned on. Ning Fengzi shook the green jade pot, "Do you look like it?" ”

Qin Ying was amazed by his description. When I looked at the holy lamp again, I felt that the dark light in the depths of the mountains and forests was very moving. She can't describe what moved her.

She was stunned for a moment before she nodded and replied, "The 'holy lamp' naturally generated in the mountains is indeed like a lamp."

Ning Fengzi snorted at her and said, "Hanging Star... You have been cultivating in Zhangren Mountain for a hundred years, but you have not been able to break through the last obstacle and form the Nine Turns Golden Pill. Do you know why? ”

Seeing that the master turned his conversation to his own cultivation, Qin Ying immediately restrained his scattered mind and said, "The disciple doesn't know."

"No matter how much this 'holy lamp' resembles an oil lamp, it is not the same as it. One doesn't mess with dust, and the other is full of turbidity. You are now like a holy lamp fluttering in the wind, lacking just the smell of fireworks in the world.

"Let's go down the mountain. When you have gone through the world and are covered with red dust, I think you will definitely cross this hurdle, form a demon pill smoothly, and then grow into a beautiful girl who is not inferior to your sister. ”

Qin Ying immediately waved his hand: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let me go down the mountain to practice." She also remembered that she had spent more than ten years in the world in her previous life before she was given death by the emperor. This made her feel that the world was too dangerous, so she could hide.

Seeing that the apprentice was so uncooperative, he raised his eyebrows and said, "...... You don't dare to go down the mountain alone? ”

"Why don't you dare? I just can't bear to be my master and sister. Qin Ying lowered his eyes and said with a flickering gaze.

Ning Fengzi shook off his robe, turned to her and said, "You haven't gotten tired of following me for so many years." I'm tired of it. Remember to bring me some delicious food and drink when you came back.

"As for your sister, I will explain to her what is at stake." After Ning Fengzi finished speaking, he opened his mouth again.

"Hang Xing, I know - you are afraid that you will not be able to escape the tragedy of your last life. But you can't break through the bottleneck in the mountains and forests, and you can't form a demon pill. You have no choice but to try your luck on the mountain. ”

She quietly clenched her fists and said to herself, "Don't you have a choice?"

That night, Qin Ying promised her master to go down the mountain in early autumn, and she would never return to the mountain until she formed a demon pill.

After Ning Fengzi Jian yì Qin Ying packed his bags, don't alarm his sister, and leave here quietly.

But she didn't hold back, and told her sister the night before leaving.

What Qin Ying didn't expect was that Sister didn't say that she was not angry, nor did she say that she was poorly talented, but just talked to her about the past.

"Time flies, in the blink of an eye... We've lived three hundred years. I still remember when you were a child, you always grabbed my sleeve and asked, why is it only me and you in the cave, where did Daddy and Auntie go?

"I avoided answering at that time, and you didn't ask again. Now I can sue you. Daddy, Auntie, and our people died when you were one year old. You were too young to remember it. ”

Qin Ying tilted his head and said, "They didn't form a demon pill, did they?"

Sister followed her and said, "That's right. They have practiced all their lives, but it is still useless. You know why? Because, all the clansmen have never left the mountains and forests and entered the red dust. ”

Thinking of my sister going to the world, it happens to be Dancheng. Qin Ying guessed: "If you say this, only by going out of the mountain and entering the world can you hope to get married?"

Qin Xi blinked and said, "Maybe it's okay to stay in the mountains." However, when entering the world, the probability of the demon pill becoming successful is greater. ”

She looked at her little sister deeply and said, "The world is dangerous, be careful." If you can't go on, come back. Because I will be waiting for you wherever I am at any time. ”
