Dou Zhanlong's brows were furrowed, his face was solemn, his eyes were deep, and he stared straight at Mu Liubing, feeling the physical and mental comfort brought by the wooden barrel medicinal bath.

"Look down at the herbs in the bucket!" Finally, Mu Liubing came to his senses from his contemplation and said to Dou Zhanlong, "Have you ever smelled a special aroma?" ”

Dou Zhanlong shrugged his nose, took a deep breath, and said, "There is a fragrance, and I feel that the blood in my body is comfortable." ”

"That's what Snow Lotus does." Mu Liubing's face was calm, and he said in a calm voice: "The flower petals of the snow lotus can save lives, and the dried petals can regulate the blood of the body. ”

Dou Zhanlong's face was shocked, looking at the petals floating on the surface of the water, he knew it in his heart, looked at Mu Liubing and said, "Senior, your previous appearance was maintained by the petals of the snow lotus, right?" ”

"That's right!" Mu Liubing smiled slightly and said: "Many years ago, I collected a snow lotus flower and made it into dried flowers, and insisted on taking dried flowers to soak in water every day, so that my appearance would not get old." ”

"I see!" Dou Zhanlong's eyes were stunned, he came back to his senses, and suddenly said: "Senior, you paid such a big price in order to help me!" ”

Mu Liubing didn't think so, but instead of feeling pity, he said with a relaxed face: "You don't have to feel embarrassed. It was a relief for me. ”

"Relief?" Dou Zhanlong's brows furrowed, his face was puzzled, the snow lotus is a priceless treasure, Mu Liubing can not care about it, what kind of mentality does this need?

"Ahem!" Mu Liubing coughed twice, his face turned a little yellow, and he said slowly, "Dongfang Station and I were originally brothers in the same sect, but because of the competition for the snow lotus, the relationship broke down, and we separated to two mountains, each living its own life and not interacting with each other. ”

"The Eastern Station knows that the Snow Lotus will be open this year, using what I came to pick, right?" Dou Zhanlong's eyes were solemn, and he thought about it and said, "But what happened between Dongfang Station and his predecessors?" Why is there a snow lotus in the hands of the seniors? ”

Dou Zhanlong reached out and grabbed a piece of snow lotus, put it on the tip of his nose, and sniffed it gently, feeling refreshed.

"It's a long story, this snow lotus is still from the master's hand." Mu Liubing's face was melancholy, and he said with deep emotion: "Back then, Master told me and Dongfang Station the secret of Snow Lotus, but for the two of us to have a conflict, Master decided to teach the art to Dongfang Station and teach me the sword technique. ”

Dou Zhanlong's eyes widened, staring at Mu Liubing intently, and asked even more puzzled: "Dongfang Station studies medicine, you can use the medicinal properties of the snow lotus, and senior, you learn knife skills, you can help pick the snow lotus, if you want to get the snow lotus, the function needs the cooperation of the two of you." ”

"Maybe that's what Master had in mind." Mu Liubing's voice was low, his face was gloomy, and he said: "The plan is not as good as changing, Dongfang Station and I have been confused for a while, lost our way, and have been secretly fighting each other. ”

"Did your master just watch you fight?" Dou Zhanlong was full of questions, and his mind recalled the cold and angry expression of Dongfang Station, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"At the beginning, Master was able to suppress it." Mu Liubing cleared his throat, his body was slightly weak, leaned on the side of the wooden barrel, and continued: "Dongfang Station and I are not convinced by each other, and often look for snow lotus all over the mountains, hoping that one day, we can completely defeat each other. ”

"We fought openly and secretly, after many years of ups and downs, and finally waited for the snow lotus to bloom." Mu Liubing's eyes were deep, and he said in a stumbling voice: "In order to find the snow lotus, I patrolled the mountains day and night with Dongfang Station, for fear of missing the flowering period. But at this critical time, Master suddenly fell ill and was in danger. ”

"Dongfang Station has waited for so many years, and I am not willing to miss it, so I still choose to stay on the mountain." Mu Liubing's brows were deeply locked, his expression was stern, he sighed deeply, and said, "I don't worry about Master, so I hurried down the mountain." ”

Dou Zhanlong saw a sadness, a sorrow, and more remorse in Mu Liubing's eyes, and asked tentatively in a whisper: "After you went down the mountain, did you find anything?" ”

"That's right! I saw the living snow lotus. Mu Liubing said calmly: "The master took out a snow lotus flower that had just bloomed in his hand and told me that he found it on the mountain overnight. ”

"Your master gave you the Snow Lotus?" Dou Zhanlong frowned slightly, and asked tentatively.

"The master deliberately tested us, as long as whoever goes down the mountain first, he can get the snow lotus without much effort." Mu Liubing's expression became more and more solemn, and he continued: "This seems to be a little unfair to the Eastern Station. ”

"It is precisely because Master knows about the relationship between the two of us that he deliberately plucked the snow lotus flower to test us." Mu Liubing said: "I repeatedly refused, and even wanted to send the snow lotus to Dongfang Station, but was rejected by the master. ”

"Why do you bother?" Dou Zhanlong frowned and said, "Your master and you both know very well that Dongfang Station will not go down the mountain, right?" ”

"You're right!" Mu Liubing took a deep breath and said: "Dongfang Station has a strong personality and a strong fighting spirit, and if you want to get the Snow Lotus, you will definitely not let go of any opportunity." ”

"Your master made it clear that he didn't want Dongfang Station to get the snow lotus, so he deliberately asked you to go down the mountain." The corners of Dou Zhanlong's mouth rose, he smiled slightly, and said with a sly expression: "Your master is worried that after the snow lotus falls into the hands of Dongfang Station, he will do whatever he wants, right?" ”

"Dongfang Station is bent on using snow lotus to develop an elixir of immortality." Mu Liubing paused for a few seconds, pondered for a moment, and said, "Master has persuaded him more than once, there is no elixir for immortality at all. But Dongfang Station was obsessed and couldn't listen to persuasion. ”

Dou Zhanlong looked at Mu Liubing with a complicated expression, and said, "You obviously know that I got the Snow Lotus and need the help of Dongfang Station to save people, why do you want to help me?" ”

Mu Liubing sighed again, a sad look appeared on his face, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I also hesitated at the beginning, worried that the snow lotus would fall into the hands of Dongfang Station, but, after thinking about it, we are all people who have lived for most of our lives, what else can't we think about and let go?" ”

Dou Zhanlong narrowed his eyes, looking at Mu Liubing as if he didn't understand, and his heart became even more worried, worried about whether Dongfang Station could use Snow Lotus to save Zhu Qian'er's life.

Suddenly, Dou Zhanlong and Mu Liubing fell into a deep silence, their eyes were misty and a little confused.

"Senior, thank you for the reminder." Suddenly, Dou Zhanlong's eyes lit up, he made up his mind, and said: "But I have made up my mind, no matter what, I have to get the snow lotus and save Qian'er." ”

"You're not worried that Dongfang Station will not be trustworthy and take advantage of you?" Mu Liubing's eyes widened, staring at Dou Zhanlong, and asked tentatively.

Dou Zhanlong took a deep breath, puffed out his chest, looked at Mu Liubing with a smile, and said, "Do you want to see a miracle in my body and change the temperament of Dongfang Station?" ”

Mu Liubing admired Dou Zhanlong's cleverness very much, and also saw through Dou Zhanlong's thoughts, maybe it was God's arrangement, so that he could resolve the grievances with Dongfang Station in his lifetime.

"I can take you to Snow Lotus, but you have to promise me one condition." At the mention of Snow Lotus, Mu Liubing's spirit was much better, his face was a little ruddy, and he said, "You take me to see Dongfang Station." ”

"Deal!" Dou Zhanlong didn't care about so many concerns, so he agreed and said, "I think I have a way to help you reconcile." ”

After being soaked in a mixture of snow lotus and herbs, Dou Zhanlong's whole body has strong muscles, sufficient strength, and his eyes reveal a momentum, and in the night of the same day, he held a short knife and climbed up the mountain.

"War Dragon, you have to climb over this mountain and go to the back side of the mountain." Mu Liubing stood at the bottom of the mountain, concentrated, and after examining it, he shouted loudly: "On the back side of the mountain, there will be a long and narrow stone crack, and the snow lotus will be 100% there. ”

"I see!" Dou Zhanlong touched the ground with both feet, jumped up, stretched out his arms, and firmly grasped the stone crack with a pair of big hands, crossed left and right, and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain.

The altitude of Dahuang Mountain is low, but it is very steep, the so-called up the mountain is easy to go down the mountain, Dou Zhanlong stood on the top of the mountain panting, looked down, took a deep breath, and carefully took a foot.

Suddenly, Dou Zhanlong's feet slipped, and a piece of gravel slipped and fell down the mountain.

"Nima, almost rolled off!" Dou Zhanlong's heart was pounding, his expression was nervous, and he tentatively bent his waist and lowered his center of gravity, for fear of any accidents.

Mu Liubing squinted his eyes, stood at the foot of the mountain, and looked at Dou Zhanlong motionlessly, with a sly expression on his face.

Dou Zhanlong frowned, reached out and took out a short knife, tentatively inserted it in the crack of the stone, raised his foot and pressed it, and a piece of rubble fell again.

"Nima! After all my efforts, I finally learned to point to the knife, but it didn't come in handy at a critical time! Dou Zhanlong frowned, his face was angry, and he said unwillingly: "Mu Liubing, the old thing's finger knife is obviously murderous, what does it have to do with climbing and descending the mountain?" ”

Dou Zhanlong took a deep breath, and the hard qigong breathing method suddenly burst out in his mind, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, according to Mu Liubing's teachings, he put the short knife in the fingers of his right hand, took a deep breath, and slowly divided it into six exhalations.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dou Zhanlong's eyes widened, his left hand grabbed the stone crack, his right hand held the finger knife, flexibly changed his fingers, turned the finger knife, and changed the direction.

He tensed his nerves, kept inhaling and exhaling, always maintaining a regular breathing rhythm, speeding up his movements, and came halfway up the mountain, his eyes widened, looking for the traces of the snow lotus.

Sure enough, in the stone crevice halfway up the mountainside, Dou Zhanlong vaguely felt that a life was struggling outward.

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and between swallows, with the help of the power of the finger knife, he came to him, his eyes were shocked, and the snow lotus was slowly poking out of the crack in the stone.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Dou Zhanlong lost his mind for a while, accidentally opened his mouth, his body was weightless, and he fell quickly.

Mu Liubing seemed to sense Dou Zhanlong's crisis, and rushed to the top of the mountain, his face was calm, he ran out of an iron chain, and shouted loudly: "Grab the iron chain." ”

Dou Zhanlong's eyes lit up, he saw the opportunity, raised his left hand sharply, grabbed the iron chain, straightened his right wrist, flexibly separated his fingers, and deeply embedded the finger knife into the stone crack.

After confirming that it was safe, Dou Zhanlong breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the snow lotus, and was suddenly startled, as if he had seen the best scene in his life, and couldn't help grinning.
