Xiao Yiran, who returned to the room, did not undress and go to bed immediately. Since the last time I escaped from the Yuan Shen on the painting boat and saw the reflection of the Yuan Shen in the water, I have been even more full of expectations for the soul refining technique, and I have almost never stopped cultivating the soul refining technique.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at the faint moonlight on the ground in front of the bed, Xiao Yiran couldn't immediately enter the realm of selflessness for a while, so he didn't force himself, but let his thoughts fly. The first thing that came to mind was Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts". Thinking of the sentence "bow your head and miss your hometown", Xiao Yiran felt sad in his heart.

Hometown, where is your hometown? What is the city of your life? Wangshan Castle after being reborn in the wilderness? Or the Yanshan Mansion of the Northern Song Dynasty? Or is it the bank of the Qinhuai River now? Thinking about it, Xiao Yiran could only shake his head, and there was always a feeling in his heart that these places were not his hometown in the true sense.

Because of the word "hometown", Xiao Yiran recalled his past several lifetimes, knowing that he would not be able to enter the cultivation state for a while, so he put on his clothes again and came to the courtyard. The chirping of autumn insects and the moonlight like flowing water form a harmonious music, singing under the deep night sky. Occasionally, you can faintly hear the sound of water made by fish playing among the lotus leaves, which is so crisp and pleasant in the quiet night.

The so-called big sound is the sound of heaven, right? Xiao Yiran thought in his heart.

Being in such a night scene, it was easy to calm down the irritable heart, and when Xiao Yiran felt a slight chill from the moonlight, his brain gradually calmed down. When I returned to my room and sat on the bed again, I quickly entered a state of cultivation.

Xiao Yiran, who was cultivating, couldn't help but escape out of the Yuan Shen, and when the Yuan Shen floated into the moonlight from the window, there was already a very clear shadow on the ground. Looking at the shadow on the ground, Xiao Yiran found that it was no different from the shadow of an ordinary person. I can't help but think in my heart, can it still be said to be a primitive god, it seems to be more appropriate to call it a doppelganger, right? Looking up at the silent body sitting on the bed, Xiao Yiran shook his head again and rejected this idea, if it is a doppelganger, the subject should be able to move freely.

Wandering around the room for a while, I remembered the last sentence of the Soul Refining Technique:

Practicing this method can condense the soul and refine the soul, and after a small success, you can escape out of the spirit and swim in time, **; After the completion of the universe, although the universe is large, you can come and go freely.

Xiao Yiran secretly asked in his heart: I should be regarded as a small achievement now, right? Thinking of this, Xiao Yiran wanted to try whether he could swim in the **. The first place to go, Xiao Yiran chose the Sun and Moon Boat on the Qinhuai River. As soon as the thought was born, Xiao Yiran felt that the scene in front of him had changed, and he was already on the deck of the Sun and Moon Boat.

Shocked by the unexpected result, Xiao Yiran floated on the deck and was stunned for a while, because there were countless questions in his heart, so he thought about going to the Xuannu Temple in Huashan and asking the Nine Heavens Xuannu for advice to solve the doubts in his chest. It seems that the thought has just settled in his mind, and the Yuan Shen has already appeared in the sky above the Xuannu Temple in Huashan, thousands of miles away.

Xiao Yiran felt that there seemed to be no difference between the time of Yuanshen from Yiranju to the Sun Moon Boat and the time from the Sun Moon Boat to Huashan, and they all came in a moment. A wave of joy arose in my heart.

"You're finally here."

Xiao Yiran, who was full of joy at the unimaginable speed of the Yuan Shen, was startled by the sudden appearance of the voice, and hurriedly opened his eyes to look at the place where the sound came from, and saw a woman with an outstanding posture and fluttering clothes, like a fairy, was standing in the moonlight ten steps away, looking at herself with a smile on her face.

Suddenly, Xiao Yiran was stunned again. Why is the woman in front of her so familiar, but she can't remember where she has seen it for a while.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Don't you want to come and see me?"

"Nine Heavens Xuan Niangniang?"

"Hehe, let's follow me to the temple to talk."

Let's say it, the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang turned around and walked towards the back of the Xuannu Temple, and Xiao Yiran followed behind him with anxiety. Just turned the main hall in the Xuannu Temple, the scene in front of him changed again, this time Xiao Yiran recognized it, he had been here twice in his dreams, and it was the place where he always let himself linger, full of flowers and rare birds. What surprised Xiao Yiran even more was that the last two times he came here in his dream, it was during the day, so it was also daytime here. But it was night just now, so why is it still daytime?

When the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang came to a hall that was many times more magnificent than the Xuannu Temple, Xuannu Niangniang sat directly on a chair in the middle, and raised her hand to signal Xiao Yiran to sit next to her.

"Please be seated."

"Yiran thanked Niangniang."

After thanking him, Xiao Yiran also sat down cautiously.

"Do you think I'm familiar?"

"Exactly, it's just that I can't remember where I've seen my mother for a while."

Xiao Yiran knew that the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang in front of him and the golden body enshrined in the Xuannu Temple were completely different appearances, so he ruled out the possibility that it was because he saw the statue of Xuannu Niangniang that he would feel familiar.

"At that time, your mind was still very low, so naturally you won't remember."

"Mother, when was that time?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yiran came this time to ask Niangniang where my origin came from. Also, why every time I come here, I can get the guidance of my mother. Also,"

"There is also the soul refining recipe in my mind, as well as the matter of Sister Xu Ying, and how I came to Daming from the Northern Song Dynasty, and how I was reborn again and again, isn't it?"

Xiao Yiran's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

"Actually, I was also entrusted by others. However, it's time to sue you. ”

It was entrusted by someone again, Sister Xu Ying said so, Master Yuantong said so, and Xuannu Niangniang also said so, which made Xiao Yiran very curious, who were they entrusted with.

"There is no need to guess, Xu Ying is entrusted by me, and Monk Yuantong is entrusted by Xu Ying, to put it simply, both of them are entrusted by me. And I was entrusted by Sister Nuwa. ”

Nuwa, the ancestor of mankind, how is this possible?

"Surprised?"

"Yes, I hope Niangniang can solve my confusion easily."

"Naturally, I want to sue you."

Just as the maid brought tea and fruits, the Nine Heavens Xuan Niangniang picked up the tea cup, raised Xiao Yiran, and said:

"Since you're here, let's drink a cup of tea first, eat a fruit, and I'll tell you about it slowly."

After hearing this, Xiao Yiran picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip lightly, and secretly said in his heart, where is this tea, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is agar jade liquid. I only feel sweet and clear, and my teeth and cheeks are fragrant. I couldn't help but pick up the teacup in my hand and drank it all in one gulp.

"Does it taste good?"

"It's delicious, thank you. I don't know what the name of this tea is? ”

"This is Baihua Yulu tea. Let's try the jujubes, it's not the right time for you to come, many spirit fruits have not yet reached the ripening stage, only a few jujubes, and they are leisurely and lazy. ”

Where did Xiao Yiran dare to dislike the Xuan Nu Niangniang for neglecting herself, she reached out and picked up a jujube and brought it to her mouth, just a light touch of her teeth, a piece of flesh fell into her mouth, and it melted in her mouth, and the fragrance was abnormal. After eating one of the dates, Xiao Yiran did not eat any more, but looked at the other two on the plate. Although there is a word "jujube" in the name, it does not look like a jujube at all. It's like a pear, but it's different from the green color of the pear, but it's bright red, and it's slightly smaller than the pear.

Seeing that Xiao Yiran no longer ate dates, Xuannu Niangniang said:

"As for your background and origin, I can only tell you at present, you are from Sister Nuwa's side, and we have also met in Sister Nuwa's cave mansion. And,"

Speaking of this, Xuannu Niangniang seemed to remember something, and actually opened her mouth and laughed, letting Xiao Yiran sit on the chair, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

"Forget it, those things will naturally be known when you meet Sister Nuwa. You came to Hongchen to practice, which is also what Sister Nuwa meant. As for the soul from the university dormitory, the soul traveled out of the body to the ancient era, and was reborn in the Northern Song Dynasty from the ancient times, and then to the Qinhuai River in the Ming Dynasty, it was all arranged in advance by Sister Nuwa. ”

"That ......"

"Do you want to ask the parents who are studying in college, the two sons and three daughters who stayed in the ancient era, and the parents who stayed in the Yanshan Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty? Perhaps, you still want to know how Lin Chen is doing, and who is Poplar? ”

Xiao Yiran nodded, these are the issues she is most concerned about, these things have always been troubled in her heart, and whenever she thinks about it, she will look depressed and sad.

"They're all nice, not what you think they are. If you want to know the real situation of them after you leave, you need to go back and see for yourself. Poplar is an exception, what you can tell you is that you and Poplar grew up together, isn't there a saying in the world called 'childhood sweethearts', you two are almost like that. ”

Xiao Yiran didn't know why the Nine Heavens Xuannu didn't sue herself once, but since the mother didn't want to say it again, she couldn't ask again.

"Niangniang, I wonder if there will be any more twists and turns in this life?"

"Since it is to experience in the red dust, where will there be no twists and turns? However, there is one thing you can rest assured that there will be no next time. In the ode to you given by the Yuantong monk, isn't there a sentence: The sun and the moon are together, and Qin Huai ends himself? Now you get the idea? ”

Xiao Yiran nodded again.

Seeing that Xiao Yiran had nothing to ask, Xuannu Niangniang pointed to the remaining two fire dates in the plate and said to Xiao Yiran:

"You can take it."

"Xie Niangniang."

Xiao Yiran carefully put the two dates into his sleeve, knowing that Xuannu Niangniang had the intention of sending off guests, so he stood up and said goodbye:

"Thank you again, Niangniang, and say goodbye."

"Go ahead, work hard to cultivate the soul refining technique after you go back, don't try to travel far away for the time being, your current cultivation is still too low, and it will be dangerous."

"Yes, follow the teachings of the mother."

I saw the Xuan Maiden on the chair waving her sleeves, and in an instant, Xiao Yiran had already returned to the bed in Yiran's room. The moonlight in front of him was still shining in place, as if he had never left at all, or that he had not lost time when he visited Huashan. I touched the dates in my sleeve, but they were still there, so I took them out and put them on the table in front of the bed.
